"There's no obvious sign of price-induced corner cutting on the TH-42PX70's exterior: its all-black finish it looks more expensive than its PX60 predecessor.
Connectivity is decent too. Two HDMIs and component video inputs do digital and analogue hi-def video duties, plus there's a PC VGA port and two Scarts. But there isn't an RCA composite input or an S-video port.
In terms of other key specifications, the TH-42PX70 boasts a 1024 x 768 native pixel count, a built-in digital tuner, and a seriously healthy claimed contrast ratio of 10000:1. Don't forget that this contrast ratio is arguably more genuine than similar figures from LCD screens, since here it's achieved without following the LCD model of reducing the brightness during dark scenes to improve the black level response.
...
The problems just described, though, don't do nearly enough damage to all the TH-42PX70's sublime strengths to stop it from being the true affordable flat TV A-Lister we'd been hoping for."
