TECHRADAR 2013 - RECOMMENDED!

Expert review by: Jamie Carter (techradar.com)

Panasonic TX-L42DT50B review

Active 3D specs are an optional add-on, but this slim, gorgeous and thoroughly accessible LED-backlit telly exudes quality where it matters - and we love the Freesat & Freeview HD options

Super-slim design ; VIERA Connect ; Great image quality ; Freeview and Freesat

3D glasses not included ; Narrow viewing angle ; Backlighting not uniform

Panasonic changes pace with this beautifully designed 200Hz Edge LED 3DTV that sports slick the slick VIERA Connect smart interface alongside Wi-Fi, deluxe streaming, and even both Freesat HD and Freeview HD tuners. Source neutral excellence abounds on...

Panasonic TX-L42DT50 review

The Panasonic TX-L42DT50 ups the ante with a high performing LED screen that combines 3D spex appeal with a top selection of internet TV

Crisp, vivid HD and 3D ; Classy, fashionable design ; Great multimedia file support

Active specs not included ; Uneven LED edge-lighting ; Blacks levels a little crushed

While the Panasonic TX-L42DT50 may lack the higher contrast and panel refresh speed of its more expensive WT50 stablemate, you’ll not notice any deficiencies when you settle back with your popcorn. This slick-looking LED is quite the prize, both in...

Irritating lock-in strategy

If you are happy to be forced to buy only from Panasonic for everything you want to do then this is probably a good tv. The picture is great and there is only a small amount of bleed coming in from the corners (only really noticeable during dark...

Consumer review by: Clive Davies (amazon.co.uk)

Just like the professional reviewers say - "Brilliant".

Before buying things like TVs, I normally read as many reviews as possible to find out which ones are highly rated etc.. This time I didn't. I went into a large TV shop and just looked at the screens. The Panasonic TX-L42DT50B just blew me away. Less...

Nearly there

First I will say this TV has fantastic HD & 3D, however as over 80% of Freeview is still SD, sorry to say but SD is very poor on this TV, despite trying all the settings I found it impossible to get a clear sharp picture on any SD signal, I am sending...
