Panasonic TX-P42XT50 (TXP42XT50) 42 Inch 3D Smart Viera Plasma TV Freeview HD,Wi-fi Ready,DNLA,600Hz,HD Ready,SD,USB 2.0 -Best UK Price

Panasonic have propelled the plasma television concept to new levels of value with their excellent TX-P42XT50B HD Ready, 3D Smart VIERA TV.

Building upon the pre-existing strengths of plasma technology, in terms of inherently superior screen refresh rates (whereby image processing is conducted to deliver flowing, natural, smooth action sequences,) the 42XT50B Smart VIERA incorporates a 600Hz sub field drive system to further enhance this innate advantage.

The TXP42XT50 is a smart TV and via VIERA Connect, users can click directly onto the usual raft of social media (twitter, face book,) favoured video download sites (you tube) or catch up with programmes missed during the last 7 days (e.g. with BBC iPlayer) by selecting from the on screen array of associated web app portals.

The 42XT50 also includes a Skype App which in conjunction with the optional video cam (TY-CC20W) allows simultaneous, free, internet video communication whilst still watching the TV: a multitude of other apps are presented but the user can order up additional services through the VIERA Connect marketplace.

This is all backed up by a full HTML5 internet web browser which in the case of the Panasonic 42XT50B is accessible via either direct Ethernet connection or wireless Wi-Fi if a LAN compliant ‘dongle’ is inserted into one of the 2 USB 2.0 inputs.

The Panasonic TXP42XT50B’s home network capability then interfaces with similarly DNLA compatible devices like USB memory sticks and external HDD zip drives (incorporating DivX HD,) as well as other WiFi hardware, such as modern Blu-ray players, recorders, cinema systems, digital cameras, smart phones, tablets and regular PC and laptop equipment, allowing a seamless stream of video, still picture (photo images) and music from all around the house.

Movies which have been streamed or downloaded are not always blessed by the highest bit rates or most favourable data compressions, so the TX-P42XT50 Smart plasma incorporates a Web Smoother which is specifically designed to ameliorate the inadequacies of these standard definition source signals: of course, less challenged regular and HD material is not ignored and through the Vivid Colour Creation processor, superb colour fidelity is ensured: Blu-ray full high definition is sensational.

The 3D system is no less serious in delivery: the active system is universally acknowledged as the superior technique for 3D processing and certainly, compared to lesser, passive systems with polarised lenses, the alternating open and closing of left and right lenses with the TX-P42XT50 plasma HD TV (in synch with the plasma screen itself) guarantees a more immersive experience.

Ultimately, when you consider the basic, fundamental fact that the 42XT50 is a Panasonic VIERA plasma, there is a certain surety in subconscious brand confidence: Panasonic are the connoisseurs’ choice and here with free to air, glorious Freeview HD built in, on top of all the other performance aspects of the design, many will feel this is the last word in flat screen television, 42 inch viewing.

Certainly, when ordering through our special deal links, above, you will be buying at the lowest prices in the UK so why not indulge in an XT50B series 42 inch Smart VIERA?

Probably the best value 42 inch HDTV on the market today.
