Having just reviewed Panasonic's latest TH42PX80, we decided to pit their 11th generation plasma against what many believe to be not only the finest plasma available today but also the finest TV, Pioneer's PDP-4280XD.
What makes the comparison interesting is that neither of these screens has a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. Although the TH42PX80 can be sourced off the internet at around £400 cheaper than the Pioneer, we were interested to discover whether the extra outlay for the Pioneer was justified.
The most notable absence on the spec sheet of the Pioneer is 100Hz processing. On the TH42PX80 the usual 50fps (frames per second) is increased to 100fps with the intended outcome being a more fluid picture - designed to combat the 'blurring' effect which can effect fast sporting action etc. Will 100Hz processing on the Panasonic give it the edge or will other performance factors count for more?
