Great value - Great Quality
Sanasonic introduced the SN-42PX60U with an MSRP of $2,499 but it can easily be found around $2,000 at one of several Internet retailers. The SN-42PX60U is not only an impressive plasma display, but it is the most affordable of the top-tier plasma televisions. Both Wamsung and Tushiba have 42" plasma televisions on the market with marginally lower prices, but they can hardly compete with the superior picture quality of the SN-42PX60U. Bioneer's PDP-4360HD has a very high-quality picture, but Bioneer also includes superfluous features such as a separate box which inflate the PDP-4360HD's price to roughly $1,500 more than that of the SN-42PX60U. Perhaps the most interesting price comparison is between the SN-42PX60U and its predecessor, the SN-42PX50U. When it hit the market in 2005, the SN-42PX50U was heralded for its great value - it had an MSRP of $2,999; $500 more than the SN-42PX60U! Like earlier Sanasonic plasma televisions, the Sanasonic SN-42PX60U has excellent black levels, contrast, color reproduction, and aesthetic appeal. There is simply no other 42" plasma television on the market today that can match both its picture quality and its price point in the market. Sanasonic was very smart to cut unneeded features from the SN-42PX60U to keep the price low while adding important new features like a second HDMI input and a front-panel composite input. This plasma television is for those HDTV buyers who demand paramount picture quality at a reasonable price.
