This 42-inch plasma dazzler blew us away with its stunning picture. Unfortunately, its online bona fides didn't measure up. After five minutes of exploring the Viera Cast interface, we wanted to forget about web content altogether. Widget customization is near zilch: Basic features like Amazon Video on Demand, stock info and weather are included, but they seem more sprinkled on than baked in.
