Panasonic TH42PA20U/P 42" EDTV Plasma Monitor
Once you go Plasma you will never go back
I purchased this TV in August after returning a Sony 32 inch(not plasma) that had taken my small apartment over like a huge silver box.  I live in a studio in Manhattan 12 feet wide and rather long.  The body of the Sony stuck out like a sore thumb and the picture just didn't suit me.  I saw this Panasonic Plasma and went for it.  HD, I was told, was the way to go but if your cable company doesn't upgrade to it what good is it.  Your TV is only as good as the cable service you have and this TV is to die for.  The stand on this model is rounded so that it fits on smaller tables, I didn't opt for the wall mount as I like to turn the TV left and right depending on where I sit. Everyone said it would be too big but no way.  I could have gone for the 50.  This EDTV is the best purchase I have ever made.  I haven't even touched the extras as yet.  I still am in awe everytime I walk into my apartment and turn this baby on.  Go for it.  Worth every penny.  How can anyone watch those &quot;little&quot; funny rounded TVs?  Once you go Plasma there is no going back.  I did have some audio problem in the beginning and had to turn the stero audio off because it was too &quot;wavy&quot;. The sound would go in and out on the music portion of the show butI believe this was due to my cable.  I have had no other problems and I can't even tell it's not on the stero the sound is so amazing.  The only draw back is when you travel you can't take it with you.
