Panasonic Viera TC-L42U25

The Panasonic TC-L42U25 ($899 MSRP) is a 42-inch LCD that falls short of the competition for its price range. Though it performed well in color and motion, it may not be the best choice for a high-end home theater system. The TC-L42U25 also struggles...

The Panasonic TC-L42U25 ($899 MSRP) falls short in performance for its price range, but that’s not to say that it is irredeemable in quality. While it underperformed in many areas, it scored well in motion and color performance. That said, its awful...

Panasonic TC-L42U25 Review – 42-inch LCD HDTV

This model from Panasonic misses out on the LED backlights and is a true LCD TV. But this 42-inch set has the full HD 1080p resolution which is vital for watching movies in the Blu-ray disc player. This 1080p resolution offers much better picture...

Panasonic has kept intact the Viera Image Viewer and Viera Link in most of its TVs. With the help of the Viera Image Viewer, you can add glamour to your photos by watching them on the 42-inch screen in 1080p resolution. There are 3 HDMI to connect high...

Could be better

Nice unit with exception of speakers,

Great Picture,nice looking unit, easy setup

Sound quality is less then expected. Speakers are facing down so if you use the included mount the sound bounces off the furniture, garbled hard to understand. Fast motion on screen could be better

Best quality for $

What a nice surprise! This was an Amazon special, and now a year later the price has still not come down to what I paid. The audio is more than capable. The ease of setup is quick. The video quality is comparable to any 1080p 120Hz LCD out there....
