The world leader in plasma display panel (PDP) manufacturing, Panasonic currently has the largest selection of plasma televisions that offer 1080p screen resolution (1,920 by 1,080 pixels, progressively scanned). The company's $1,995 TH-42PZ700U is the first plasma television under 50 inches to offer full 1080p resolution. Packing over two million pixels onto a 42-inch plasma screen remains a feat that only Panasonic has been able to achieve and offer to the public—so far, at least. Although I was disappointed with the resolution limitations of some of the set's HD-compatible video ports, these minor flaws were overshadowed by a picture that delivered detail and clarity matched by few HDTVs, thereby earning the TH-42PZ700U our Editors' Choice award.
