Panasonic VIERA TC-P42S30
$799.95
Released January, 2011
The Pros:Good variety of inputs, more than enough for most users. Setup is painless, everything just plugs in and works. Color presets are fairly accurate right out of the box, can be tweaked.
The Cons:Wireless dongle is proprietary and sold separately for $99. Unit is fairly heavy, will need two pairs of hands to shift it around. Reflects light severely, lots of glare if at the wrong angle.
