This TV is an incredible value...the price, the picture, the performance all add up to one great name...Zenith! Do yourself a favor and put this on your list of "must see" items because it will not let you down. The picture is crystal clear and in high definition, gets quality signals over the air in...

Most Helpful Critical Review

Great Picture, But i wouldn't sugest for working out or watching NetFlix, Has some burn in issues. I See P90x and Netflix on a blank screen,  Otherwise have Dish and HD Channels Look great . The Walking Dead looks real nice. Sound could be better. But great item for the price.

We purchased the Zenith Plasma 42" as a "family" gift with our tax return.  My hometown Sear's not only had it in stock when it went on sale, but also matched the online discount price for me since I was having a problem with the site.  The only feature this TV lacks is the enhanced online programming menu, which our converter boxes had.  Picture is very clear, better than the other plasma I looked at.  Sound quality with the SRS system is great.  The remote is easy to use and seems well built.  Can only see the current program description, no advanced.  Another con is there are no TV sound...

First off, I am not a video professional or gamer. I mostly watch news (CNN and local), DVD movies (not blueray), Bravo, TLC< Discovery channels. I do not watch much sports. I replaced my 32in Magnavox TV with this low price 42in Zentih plasma TV. I have looked for a new TV for several months. When I look at TV's in the store, I usually cannot tell much difference between TV's side by side when playing the same video. I made the choice on Plasma due to the reports of deeper blacks and faster refresh (600hz vs 60hz or 120hz on LCD). I was close to buying a Panasonic until I found this Zenith for...

I bought this tv in Feb. of this year and it is a great buy.  I know they say plasmas are not great due to burn in, refilling plasma or good gaming tvs, but it has not been a problem.  We have our WII hooked up to it and it is doing well.  The picture quality is great.  The price was not that bad eighter!!  Would recomend it to someone wanting a flat screen without paying the price for the more expensive name brands.  Zenith did a good job with this one!

My Zenith Is TOPS

I bought my Zenith 42 inch plasma from kmart, November 2007. I have watched a lot of TV since and life is great. Everybody loves it, I like the way it looks, sounds great, set it and forget it, the warranty is great. buy one you too will be amazed. It has a crystal clear picture and its my third zenith and my last zenith is 19 years old , it still works great we use it for video games. We got the new one for the flat and hd which looks fantastic. Get yours now and spoil yourself.

excellent picture

I love this set.  it was just the right size and light weight even though it was high tech and was compatible with my surround speaker system and my GPX dvd player.  Would buy again and for the price would buy as a gift for someone else.

This is a must have!

I got tv this when it was on sale for $699.99, but it's a steal at any price. Don't let it's low price fool you because it has all of the features you'll need and more!!! I did a ton of research before making my purchase, and this tv definitely has bang for the buck! The picture and sound quality are that of a theater feel. It's great for everyday tv and even better when cuddling up with a movie rental!

Great TV for Price!!

I bought it on sale. For the price it is a great buy. It did leave an imprint of the channel I was watching on the screen but that went away with time and it only shows on a black screen when it does happen. I would recommend this TV to any one who wants to upgrade bigger but not pay thousands of dollars.

Excellent Value

Bought this for our parents at Christmas. Best TV picture for the price I have seen. Can't touch another 42" with these features for the door buster price we paid.

Great TV

This is a great TV for the price, Kmart had the lowest price of the season on this TV. The Zenith 42" plasma HDTV has a great picture, and great sound, it was very easy to setup. We got more bang for our buck for the 42" plasma than for a 37" LCD TV.

single working mom

i was looking for a hdtv for a reasonable price and i saw my t.v. advertise on sale for a decent price. i said to myself oh my GOD what a great deal. i love my t.v. it shows a crystal clear picture especially when i am watching my NY GAINTS play. i would recommend this t.v. to anymore. for the price of $699 for a 42 in plasma you can not go wrong. what a bargain. my teenage daughter just loves it.

Great Picture and Features for the Price

I was a little wary when I first bought this TV. A 42" Plasma for $699 ??? (Less since I had a 10% off "new mover"coupon). But Wow, for a 720P the picture is better than most of the major Japanese brands I looked at (except the Sony - which is twice the price). It features a Horizon settings that allows you to see regular TV on the full width of the TV without the usual oversized heads. Great TV for the price.
