Conclusion

The Panasonic TX-P42VT20B, the smallest model in Panasonic’s VT20 range, is not quite the equal of the excellent TX-P50VT20 that we reviewed in May. Although the picture quality is essentially just as good, 47ms of input lag is an unfortunate dent which harms this HDTV’s ability to be recommended (almost) unconditionally for any home entertainment purpose. And certainly, the smaller screen diminishes the impact of 3D material, but this is perhaps something of a moot point on a review of a 42″ display.

If you’re not a gamer (or if you only tend to play slower paced genres where the input lag is more tolerable), this won’t really matter to you. Like the rest of the Panasonic Plasma lineup, the 2D image quality on the TX-P42VT20 is absolutely excellent with only a little bit of panel-generated noise in particularly frantic motion areas to consider as a down-side. The 3D quality, whilst still in its early stages, is amongst the best we’ve seen on the market today (although this is perhaps as much to do with a lack of serious contenders as much as it is with the quality of the product).

The best going price at the time of writing is around £1500, making this an expensive 42-inch HDTV display. However, this is the price of new technology, and the fact that the Panasonic TX-P42VT20B also includes two pairs of 3D glasses (albeit the older, less comfy ones) and produces some of the best 2D images on the market should cushion the financial blow.
