The 42-inch Plasma TV is the entry level flat screen televisions made with the plasma technology. Consumers will be happy to see the new aggressive pricing of the plasma TVs lately as prices keep on falling. With such a decrease in pricing, a lot more people will find it affordable to purchase a flat screen TV.
Here are our top 10 42-inch plasma TVs:
- Pioneer PDP4271HD – The last couple of years, Pioneer has been the leader in providing beautiful images and great aesthetics of the look of the television. I believe they were the first to come out with black glossy bezels as this one has. A little more expensive then the rest but it has the complete package of features.
- Hitachi 42HDS69 – This 42 inch Hitachi has great images when it comes to action scenes. When watching sports, this TV held up very well on its own.
- Panasonic TH-42PX60U – There are slew of Panasonic owner's who swear by the picture and pricing. The Panasonic TH-42PX60U produces one the best images in the last few years. It has been the top for a long time and other companies have risen to the challenge.
- Samsung HP-S4273 / S4253 - Samsung's Plasma TVs claim to fame is that their plasma TV produces less glare then other plasmas and is less susceptible to burn in levels.
- LG 42PC3D – The “lucky Goldstar” is a manufacturer that has made great strides in producing quality sets. LG offers great pricing with a clear image and great aesthetics. A definite buy for the budget oriented consumers.
- Toshiba 42HP66 - The Toshiba 42 inch plasma is a reasonable priced flat screen. The picture is good but why can't Toshiba spend money on the aesthetics? It looks like an old model Toshiba. If they just changed the bezel to a black piano finish, they would have a lot more sales.
- Hewlett Packard PL4260N – The HP has a nice black cabinet and an average looking picture. The price is cheap among the rest.
- Phillips 42PF9631D/37 – The Phillips 42 inch plasma is priced just less then some of the top TVs. You may want to adjust the color settings to compare this TVs with top rank.
- Insignia NS-42PDP - Insignia is the most budget conscious brand out there. The picture is not as great as most Plasma TV makers, but is most likely the cheapest, yet still recommendable of the budget-conscious brands.
- Dell W4201C – This 42inch Dell has been in the market for a long time. It's great to have the speakers separated but, it would be nice if consumers could compare Dell's product to the rest.
