Jump to unread Post a CommentHowever the Panasonic you have put on is a bloody good TV especially with the stand....
Also it's TRUE FULL HD! Visit the Panasonic website and read up...
Like I've said in the past if you're looking for a 46" buy a 46" but if you're looking for a 42" this is the best price I have found...

Make sure when you search - the price is NOT for the; TH-42PX700CAB or the TH-42PX70CAB
And that is is the TH-42PZ700CAB
The full list can be found here;

LOL!!!!!
its really not mate! The pioneer kuro range are the best of the best. forget 1080p as its impossible to tell from normal viewing distance the difference in resolution on a 42" screen!
Its a great screen the panny, but its not better than the pioneer 428xd for picture quality straight and simple!
Please, try not to mis-inform. This is incorrect.
The main differences:
- the PZ700 has an extra HDMI at the front
- the PZ700 has PiP
- the PZ700 has much better speakers, 20w SRS TruSurroundXT speakers as opposed to the 10w stereo
Reading on the reviews;
"Inevitably, we have made some comparisons, the ace up the Panasonic TH42PZ700's sleeve being Full HD native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels whereas the Pioneer PDP-428XD has a 1,024 x 768 format. The extra pixels allow the TH42PZ700 to resolve every detail of 1080i and 1080p sources, rather than scaling these pictures to fit".
BUT reading on the reviews;
Conclusion A
If you want to pull this Pioneer straight out of the box and have little or no interest in 'tinkering' with its performance then the PDP-4280XD will make an ideal high end choice.
The extra features offered by the PDP-428XD will appeal to the TV enthusiasts out there, not necessarily those of you who enjoyed poking a screwdriver into the back of your old CRT, but those of you interested in the technicalities of getting the very best picture from your plasma.
The Pioneer PDP-4280XD has given us all the feeling that the days of CRT outperforming plasma with SD sources are numbered. The PDP-428XD is not quite there yet, but the difference is negligible, and with HD sources the PDP-4280XD in our opinion brings you the ultimate home viewing experience.
Conclusion B
Inevitably, comparisons will be made between the TH42PZ700 and the similarly priced Pioneer PDP-428XD. For all round performance including standard as well as high definition the Pioneer is the one to choose, but as the centrepiece of your HD home cinema, the TH42PZ700 is a serious contender.
So...
Do you go;
Full HD native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels or 1,024 x 768 format...
I'm going to have to find a high street shop that sells both and take it from there lol
