Manual of product Viera TH-42PZ85U
Editorial note
The Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ85U is a television that stands out for its exceptional picture quality thanks to its Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and Plasma technology. This combination offers an immersive viewing experience, although Plasma technology can be prone to screen burn-in issues, which may affect the display's durability over time. The user experience is enhanced by advanced features such as picture-in-picture (PIP) and teletext, allowing for enjoyable multitasking. However, the power consumption of 385 W in normal mode is relatively high, which can lead to increased energy costs. In terms of design, the television has a modern look with its sleek black color, but its weight of 34 kg can complicate installation and handling, especially in tight spaces. While connectivity is extensive with three HDMI ports, this may seem limited for users with many devices to connect simultaneously. Finally, although this model offers good picture quality and interesting features, the lack of Smart TV functionalities may limit its value for modern users, who often seek a more integrated multimedia experience.Score details
