All HDTVs are not created equal. Sometimes specs like panel resolution aren't as important as things like color temperature, contrast and black level reproduction. But when you have both the maximum number of pixels and those other things, you have something special indeed.

And this is where Panasonic's new 1080p plasma HDTVs come in. This is the first 1080p plasma HDTV available in a size smaller than 50 inches, and it was worth the wait.

Panasonic's 42-inch TH-42PZ700U is now available for under $2000 (offer subject to change without notice, click below link and add to cart to view current price):
