What You Should Know about the PT-4291HD Plasma Television

Good Fit For a Midsize Living Room

HDTVs with a diagonal screen size between 42 and 45 inches are LCDs or plasmas, usually with a resolution of either 1366 by 768 or 1920 by 1080 (1080p). The optimum viewing distance for an HDTV screen like this one is generally considered to be about 6.5 to 7.5 feet.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Lots of input types, excellent HD picture, good sound, excellent price

    Weaknesses: Manual and setup instructions could be clearer

    Overall Evaluation: This TV came from Ubid for under $800 delivered. It has an excellent HD picture, good sound, all the inputs you could want (HDMI, component video, analog components, S-video, broadcast antenna), which makes it a good TV at a very good price.
