Zenith P42W22B 42-Inch Plasma Flat-Panel EDTV
Zenith P42W22 Review
After reading the two negative reviews I felt that I had to respond in defense of the 42 inch Zenith Plasma Display.  I have had mine almost a year and I am very pleased with it.  Our decision to purchase a Plasma display was to remove the huge bulky tube TV (35&quot; Toshiba Cinema Series) from the living room although we were satisfied with the picture quality and features. I chose the Zenith after viewing the competition in various stores and settled on it for the price vs. performance and features.  Mine is set up with Directv, VHS, and DVD inputs and output the audio to a Denon sound system.  I have not had a single problem with it so I can't comment about the service issue.  The picture quality is very good for the specifications but depends on the input signal.  Low bandwidth input will show some pixelization in the dark areas but a digital signal or even better DVD, is crisp and vibrant. While not true HDTV, it is EDTV but we didnt have HD available at the time.  The glass has an anti reflective coating and you can view the picture from almost sideways as opposed to straight on.  In summary I find the P42W22 to be a stylish, well performing plasma display at a very modest price.  We enjoy it thouroughly just be sure to use the best quality signal source for the best display.
