Sylvania 6842PE 42-Inch Flat-Panel EDTV Plasma Monitor Review

This was a great TV! I bought it probably a year or so ago and it served my family well for endless hours of television entertainment. Even though it was EDTV, it looked identical to HDTV. I’ve since given this to my sister for her to use in her college apartment.

Because it’s a ‘monitor’ and not a TV per se, it does not have a coaxial cable input. This can easily be remedied by running the coaxial cable through your cable box or DVD player.

Sylvania 6842PE 42-Inch Flat-Panel EDTV Plasma Monitor Specifications

Sylvania’s 6842PF is a 42-inch, widescreen (16:9) gas-plasma display compatible with progressive-scan and high-definition signals up to 1080i. This unit offers incredibly vivid, high-contrast images and is the ultimate addition to any home theater. Perfect for movies and other programs formatted for 16:9 aspect-ratio screens, the monitor’s HD component-video inputs accept full 720p and 1080i HDTV signals from set-top boxes and DTV receivers, which are sold separately.

One of the main benefits of a plasma screen is the vivid and brilliant color display of over 16 million colors. Additionally, the 6842PF boasts extremely wide viewing angles (compared to most LCD screens), and easy placement due to its slim profile of less than 5 inches of depth. And like all plasma displays, the 6842PF is immune to the distortion and negative color balances one may encounter when using a conventional CRT television near flourescent lighting or speaker systems.
