Good Points

One of the good points is that it has Component Video, very good for DVD viewing.


Bad Points

Doesn't handle CGI graphics very well i.e. Sci-fi movies such as Fifth Element And Aliens, if there is a black floor in the scene you will see different shades of black.


General Comments

A few months ago I purchased a Techwood Plasma TV, "What a mistake that was"! After weeks of complaining to the store I managed to get an upgrade which was the Daewoo DP-42SP. I was very pleased with this product as it was a vast improvement on the Techwood, the picture and sound was so much better. I now know with buying a plasma TV you get what you pay for, I think the Daewoo is worth £2500 because of the features such as Component Video which is very good for DVD viewing but you must spend the money on the Component leads, they are not cheap but well worth it, (leads approx £70)
I have viewed many plasma TVs in the store and with out a doubt the pioneer plasma @ £4000 is something special, If you have the money GO FOR IT! but if you are a bit strapped for cash then go for the Daewoo DP 42SP this will give you a taste of what plasmas are all about and then you will appreciate the upgrade for when you do spend that £4000 on your next upgrade. Please bare in mind, if you are thinking of buying a plasma for the first time, it WILL take a while to get used to picture because it is different to the CRT televisions we have been used to viewing for many years.
Overall I'm not disappointed about buying a Plasma and the Daewoo hasn't given me any problems YET! (touch wood) but if you are a Gadget and technical freak then the DP 42SP will keep you occupied with the features it has as well as 2 remote controls.
P.S. KEEP AWAY FROM TECHWOOD PLASMA AND SPEND £4000 ON THE BEST PLASMA
