Panasonic TC-L65E60 65-Inch 1080p Deal

Howard S. "Luvthegadgets" (New York, NY USA): This is a beautiful TV with a fantastic picture at a great price if you are planning on using it on the supplied pedestal with it's internal speakers. Otherwise, it has some silly, fatal flaws. Apparently. Panasonic's engineering department is not really using it's head! Most flat panel manufacturers are aware that these TV's are very frequently wall-mounted and also used with a soundbar in order to overcome the inherent problem of poor sound due to having to use small, flat, usually down-firing internal speakers. So, they provide side facing HDMI ports and a menu setting to disable the internal speakers.

OB1 "OB1" (OH): This set has 3 rear-facing HDMI ports. The only side-facing ports are USB. This means that you will have to find a 90 degree HDMI adapter (very hard to find) if you plan on mounting this set to a wall. Why would you put the rarely-used USB ports on the side? Also, although the A/C power cord going into the set is cleverly going into an indented area on the back of the set making it completely low-profile, the plug that goes into the wall is like 2.5 inches of unbendable-ness creating a problem if you have had a power outlet installed behind where you plan on wall mounting it.

Jeff Cz (Muskego,WI,USA): With most soundbars, if you don't disable the internal TV speakers, you will have an echo caused by a time delay between the internal speakers and the soundbar. Every other manufacturer has a setting on the menu's to disable the internal speakers or just use a fixed volume setting. I called Panasonic tech support (I did get to a support person pretty quickly) and they confirmed that their 2013 TV's do not have this setting. Nor do they seem to get or care that it's a problem when using an an external soundbar. They claim that if you use the Optical Out and have it plugged into an external sound device, it will automatically disable the internal speakers but it ain't so. They suggested muting the TV, but then of course, it will say 'MUTE' on the screen while you are watching your beautiful LED TV picture;

MechanicalMan (Springfield, MO): The dreaded "Burn in" or "ghosting" or "picture retention":
Let me start by saying this is my first plasma TV and I did a ton of research before buying it. I was terrified of the dreaded "burn in". I bought this TV for the bedroom and my wife has a habit of leaving the TV on through the night. So you never know what might cause a "burn in".
I've had this TV for just over a month now and have watched just about everything, sport, sports news, HDTV, SDTV, blueray, movies with letter boxing...everything with the exception of a PC and video games. I have not noticed a hint of burn in! I am now at the point where I don't even think about it.

Dario: I wasn't too interested in the smart features of this TV, but Netflix, Vudu, and Amazon video all work fine over the built in WiFi. What I was more interested in was connecting it to my DLNA server and streaming content from my NAS. While I have been able to connect to the NAS with DLNA, it doesn't always seem to find the server. I am not sure if it's the TV or the server, but my LG blueray player has no problem finding the server so I assume it has someting to do with the TV but have not been able to figure it out.

Ben: That lead me to purchase this larger TC-P65ST60-65" TV, I knew I already liked the picture quality and knew it was a great TV. Unfortunately about 3 weeks after I plugged the TV in a line developed across the middle of the screen. This horizontal line was there whenever the TV was on. The TV obviously is still under warranty so we called Panasonic. There response was it is your cable box. After testing various cable boxes and other devices it was clear the problem was the TV and not the cable box. Panasonic asked that we send a picture we did and asked that they send a technician out to fix our brand new TV or replace it.

Jeff Cz (Muskego,WI,USA): I purchased this thing of beauty 2 days ago.We're upgrading from our 3 year old Samsung 46'' lcd which will be headed to the basement A day ear

lier I bought a Vizio M series 55'' and wasn't happy with it at all ( way too glossy screen in our bright living room,pathetic selection of apps, 3d turned us off and not much 3d to choose from) anyway,enough about the Vizio which was kicked to the curb(actually returned to the store ..lol). This Panny just blows us away! Our main viewing area is about 40 degrees off center and it didn't lose ANY color or clarity while viewing from this position. The screen is very matte and it's hard to even make out our bay windows behind and to the left of us even when the screen is dark.

Some Dude : I ordered the 42" TV on Friday and received it on Wednesday using the standard Super Saver shipping. Upon removing it from the box I was amazed with how thin the TV was. It's also very dense, so it's not the easiest thing to move around, especially if you are trying not to touch the screen with your greasy hands. On the bottom on the TV is clear plastic, and moving the unit around (prior to stand) means putting a lot of pressure on that plastic so I kept thinking it might break (I'm paranoid when it comes to new electronics).

Timothy J. Sexton "tjs" (Tempe, AZ USA): For those looking for a "Readers Digest" version of the review - overall I am extremely satisfied with the VT60 picture quality and features. IMHO, it lives up to all the hype, and the Value Electronics shootout experts picking it as the "top dog" in Plasmas is warranted - it beats out any other plasma I have owned or seen - and it is a lot bigger at 65" to boot! The only other plasmas, or any TV for that matter, that are on the same level as the VT60 are the Panasonic ZT60 and Samsung F8500, and if these sets are better than the VT60 it is not by much. Now, on to the details...

Josh Zastrow "jfzastrow" (MADISON, WI USA) : Initial setup is a breeze and pretty standard. Panasonic walks you through and shows you the included features, emphasizing their different home screen options. Fun fact: there is a silly narrator that sounds like a robot. I weirdly enjoyed it, a bit of 80s/90s nostalgia. I setup mine to go straight to the last source (HDMI) as opposed to my home screen. Also, there is a goofy advertisement that pops up at times. You can however turn it off in the settings.

Rick (Reno, NV United States):  I've had the 60 inch model of the VT60 for just about 2 weeks now and I couldn't be happier with it. Initially, I was looking at purchasing the ST60 series, but when I saw this TV go on sale for just a couple hundred more than the ST60, I decided to splurge and use the money I had planned on spending on speakers and go for the VT60 model. The colors are incredible and the black levels are outstanding. I've been watching a mix of Cable TV, streaming content, BluRay movies, and Blu-Ray 3-D, some Xbox 360 gaming and I'm continually impressed. The depth of the 3D is better than I had imagined, since I wasn't able to view this TV at any retail store. They all said they don't have them on display because of cost. Lame excuse, but with all the positive reviews I decided to make the purchase. Only negative I can think of on this is that I wish it had 4 HDMI ports instead of just the 3, but that's a minor issue.

Jack "Flash" (OR): This TV produces an excellent picture, with saturated colors and deep blacks. The viewing angle is more than adequate. Video response is quick and I've noticed no judder on fast-moving scenes, such as sports. The sound from the built-in speakers is better than on some flat screens I've heard but far from high fidelity. It is quite clear, though, and voices are easy to understand even with the poor audio on many cable channels.

Brian Vianzon: First, I spent an hour watching content side-by-side comparing the Panasonic Viera TC-50LE64 with the Samsung 46" Smart TV UN46F6350A ($800), and the Panasonic has the same screen quality. Second, the Apps that I wanted from the Samsung were already on the Viera (Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, Vudu, and YouTube). Netflix Streaming has been very impressive for HD Content and surround sound on my 5.1 Logitech Z-5500. Third, the most important feature was content sharing from Smart Phones, specifically from the Samsung Galaxy SIII that my wife and I have. The SIII and Viera detected each other with ease and I have been able to view Picture Slideshows and Videos in HD.

Howard S. "Luvthegadgets" (New York, NY USA): This set has a media player which can display pictures, videos and play music from, say, an iPod or a USB drive loaded with music files. This is where I first encountered the sound problem mentioned in the title of this review. When I played music tracks from a USB drive they sounded strange and I soon discovered that the left channel audio was coming through both speakers. The right channel sound could not be heard at all. This was also the case when listening to a sound bar connected to the set's digital audio output. I then tried listening to Pandora and the result was the same. Curiously, the sound was fine with TV stations, both over-the-air and on cable. None of the settings on the TV's audio menu had any effect on this problem.

Panasonic TC-L47WT60 47-Inch 1080p 240Hz Smart Deal

T. Hyatt: I just purchased this TV from Amazon after the long wait for Panasonic to release. I have had it a week now and am really enjoying it. I am not a videophile, just an average user, so I'll leave the more detailed reviews to the techies. I am running this on an Xfinity (Comcast) cable network. I have a Tivo Premiere, a Panasonic Blu-ray DVD player, and an Apple TV hooked up. All running seamlessly. I replaced an 8-yr old rear projection, 720p Samsung. Here are my initial observations.

John W. Graham (Orlando, FL United States): My first impression was "wow"...this HDTV has an ultra-thin metal bezel and a chrome and acrylic stand. Just having this TV atop my TV stand upgrades the look and feel of my entire living room. The HDTV was easy to unpack. The instructions for setup are scant and more pictorial in nature but I was able to get it set up in about 30 minutes including some assistance from my wife in setting it on the included stand. The cable connections were well marked and easy to understand.
Setting up the TV via its setup routine was very simple. The TV guided me through the process and even offered a voice guided tour of the features.

Mary Santos (San Antonio, Texas): The 3D is simply AMAZING! I'll be honest, I don't watch much in 3D because it does tend to give me a bit of a headache after an hour or two, but on July 4th, I watched Independence Day and the fiery explosions in that movie were epic in 3D. There is a dedicated button on the remote to switch to 3D or back to 2D and the only other thing you need are the glasses. It's very simple to switch back and forth if you don't like to view something in 3D.:

Panasonic TC-L39EM60 39-Inch 1080p 120Hz Deal

Howard Bardsley (NANTUCKET, MA United States): We purchased this tv to replace a 7 year old Panasonic TC-26LX50. We had to find a tv with an overall width of less than 35.5" which is the width of our entertainment center. It is a perfect fit!. We used HDMI cables to connect the the tv to the cable box and our Panasonic DMP-BD75 bluray player. The setup for the tv took less than a minute! The picture is , as my wife said, extremely lifelike.

JA (Southest USA): It is like the actors on the screen are in the room with you.We did not touch any of the color/contrast settings. The one thing I noticed about this tv VS the old one is that it takes longer to turn on, about 17 seconds Vs 10 seconds for the old one. not a big deal once you get used to it. We have had this tv about a week and we love it. The Picture is so clear that I have noticed things on my old DVD's that I never saw before. Now We are going to have to watch our DVD library again to see what we have been missing.One more thing, The remote controls for the TV and the Bluray player are almost identical. grabbing the wrong one is easy.

J Vex: This tv was purchased to replace a 1080i Samsung Slimfit 30 inch set. I did a lot of research and decided that this Panasonic TC-L39EM60 was the TV for me. I mainly watch cable HD broadcasts and have a lot of movies in digital format MP4(M4V). Panasonic is the only manufacturer I've found whose built in media player will play my files and MAN DOES IT PLAY THEM. The tv is 1080p native but will play other resolutions 1080i, 720p, 480i to name a few. The picture quality is outstanding. The jump from my old 1080i Samsung to his 1080p Panasonic is night and day. Even my files in 720p are like looking at completely differnt movies. I can't wait to buy a BlueRay player and watch full 1080p (right now my cable company only passes 1080i in it's HD programing).
