This is not just another TV review. Nope; these past three days have been different. The brand in question is Panasonic, which hasn't sent us a model for almost a year. Yet we faithfully followed up and covered whatever we could about their releases. Now they've sent us not only an LCD but also one of their famous plasmas, both form the Viera clan. Currently our focus is on the 42-inch Viera Plasma model (TH-42PV80D), and this time we have also included a small video at the end.

Aesthetics
The TV has an almost minimalist design, with the focus on the bottom panel. This part of the bezel is arched oh-so-slightly to make it look interesting. A scooped-out concave section has the speaker grilles on its ends, all this on the bottom panel itself. A single power button sits flush in this curved surface, slightly on the left. Next to it is the remote sensor. The manual say it’s thin and light, but in actuality it’s quite sturdy and broad in comparison to some models today.

The back panel is vented profusely, exposing some of the inner circuitry and aiding heat dissipation. The connection window is positioned in the bottom half of the back panel, falling more on the right side. A small strip of connections exists on the side: a common feature these days. Yes, this TV is subtle and handsome.

I think Tech 2 Guys have mistakenly written wrong model no. It is TH-42PV80H not TH-42PV80D. There is no such model on official website of panasonic.

I am planning to buy a 42" Plasma. I have narrowed down my choice to Panasonic Viera Plasma TH-42PV80D and the Samsung PS42A450. My primary usage is going to be playing the XBOX 360, watching movies on regular DVDs and watching sports on TV.
Any pointers on which one would be better if I am comfortable with prices on both the models?

What is the difference between Panasonic TH - 42PV80D and TH-42PV80H ? What I saw in retail shops in Delhi were 2 models - 80H and 8H ? On various websites I see the models referred to as TH-42PX80 and TH 42PZ80 - what's the difference ?
