This entry-level Panasonic plasma is perfect for the avid TV watcher who wants a really good picture without breaking the bank.

The first thing it has going for it is that it's 42 inches...that's just plain and simple a nice size screen to watch the game, your favorite show, or play some games.

Secondly, with its slim profile it doesn't take up too much space. At only 3.7 inches thick there are lots of options when it comes to placement within your home or apartment. It does come with a pedestal base but if you're planning on mounting this on the wall you can check out the Mustang MV-TILT3 Tilt Wall Mount or a basic Univeral Tilt Wall Mount.

Thirdly, this TV will compliment any system with the right connection. Whether you have a top-of-the line audio system with the latest and greatest Blu-Ray DVD player or mid-range components, with some high-quality cables this TV is going to make everything look and sound better. We've heard good things about the ULT V1000 CV-4 THX Ultra 1000 Component Video Cable and know from personal expereince that good cables are a good investment when it comes to getting the most from your entire system.

The scoop on this plasma is that it's not a fully-loaded overpriced TV with tons of features you'll never use, just a good solid performer.
