Panasonic VIERA TC-P42U2
Released May, 2010
The Pros:User friendly setup includes full on-screen explanations of what the various options are for. Display is bright enough to deal with any possible lighting conditions, can adjust automatically.
The Cons:Default Game and Vivid settings can make the brightness overwhelming. Using a PC through HDMI at 1080p looks pixelated, left and right edges get cut off. Speakers have almost no bass range.
The Panasonic VIERA TC-P42U2 is one of two VIERA Plasma HDTVs announced in 2010 as part of the VIERA U2 series. The 42” TC-P42U2 features 1080p full high-definition resolution with Panasonic’s 600Hz Sub-Field Drive and an anti-reflective filter for utilizing the television in ultra-bright rooms.

Like its peers, the TC-P42U2 improves on past models with their new NEO PDP, which offers greater luminosity coupled with deeper hues. In fact, it offers up to 100,000 hours of brightness, after which time it’ll only achieve half brightness. Additional features include three HDMI connections, 2 USB ports, a PC input, and VIERA Link for using a single remote for accessing any connected VIERA Link products.

#panasonic_viera_tc_p42u2 This information is incorrect. The U2 has no USB port (much less two), nor does it have neo-pdp. You appear to have confused this model with Panasonic's somewhat better S series.
