Uh... wow. Odd one.

That's one of Panasonic's first plasma sets; 2002 era. It is HD capable, 720p resolution. Still has a good picture for an old set, with fault ofc, but not bad for modern consumer electronics.

As for the fault, does that split between the two halves wobble, or is it fixed as it is?

The picture on both halves is very stable,,,the line between the two pictures is very wiggly

Re: Pansonic TH-42PX25 double half picture

from the pics...the power supply seems ok. check the main board for problems. looks like a processor chip. need more pics of the inside

Did more testing/research on this set,,,,when you go to set-up screen,,,the screen is totally normal,,,now select computer monitor mode, it works perfect....Which ever board controls some of the input other than vga has a problem....
This is going to be used as a computer monitor / shop display,,,so really don't need to put more time in it other than to assemble the back!!!!
