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...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

correction for previous review

 

in regards to another reviewer concerning the PC output resolution: a 16:9 aspect ratio is not the same ratio as 1280:1024. however, 1366:768 is approximately the same ratio and that is why the 1280:1024 doesn't fit the screen without blank space.

Great Picture

 

Arrived in perfect condition and very quickly. Newegg = AA++++ Highly recommended place to shop.

Great picture quality, always had a great likeness for Panasonic, very durable and in my experience great quality

No regular RCA audio out - I took one egg off for this ; It has the optical out for audio but I was using a bookshelf audio system with my previous TV, for the sound, now I have to get a receiver that accommodates the TV optical out. This is my...

Game Lag, PS3, MW2?

 

Could someone post as to whether or not there is? I use Hdmi

Does this tv have any game/input lag/delay ; I saw one of the reviews said that their is very little when using a computer. How about when playing on a game console, I play MW2 on the Ps3. I Just bought a new brand tv Proscan 47in 240hz 4ms. It has...

Great Set

 

Contrast in some super-dark scenes in movies isn't as good as some other HDTV technologies, but the overall image quality and near-total lack of input lag more than make up for it.

I bought this set to use as an over-sized TV monitor, and it works GREAT for it. It has the lowest input lag of any HDTV I've used before, and you can really tell the difference while moving the cursor around or playing a twitch FPS game. The image...

Expect better PC input

 

Nice color and motion. Many adjustments available on the picture

I did expect the PC input to be full HD but the max resolution supported is 1366 x 768 (1280 x 1024 according to the manual, but it won't fit on a 16:9..). What a pity
