Consumer review (epinions.com)

Toxic bulb when it brakes (and it does frequently)

 

Panasonic PT-45LC12 is a 45 inch HDTV-ready LCD rear projection TV set. These LCD rear projection sets used to be good alternatives to plasma TV sets when I bought this in 2003. Now plasma and LCD TVs are much cheaper of course and the best ...

Good picture, great resolution.

Gray blacks, limited bulb life (with mercury inside), thermal fuse problems in ballast, no HDMI.

Buyer beware ... don't buy this!

 

I've had the PT-45LC12 for less than 5 years and I'm on my 3rd lamp ($300 each). I get about 1500-2000 hrs out of the lamp, and then I go back into my pocket to dish out another $300 for a new one. Panasonic claims 5000-10000 hrs of lamp life for the ...

very nice picture, light-weight, comparable to others in size and picture quality

I've dumped $1000 in maint. and repairs after paying $3000 for the tv ; unacceptable

Beware of the bulb and ballast!

 

LCD rear projection TVs used to be good alternatives to plasma TV sets when I bought this in 2003. Now plasma TVs are much cheaper of course. The picture quality of this TV is very good and even stunning when you watch true (ie. over the air HDTV ...

Bulbs NOT a problem

 

I have had this tv since February 2003 (nearly 3 years) and we watch it a lot (at least 2 hours a day). I have not had to replace the bulb yet. However, I believe it may have to do with the fact that I run it through a UPS - a battery backup, rather...

Great picture quality. No burn-in. Good sound quality. Very light in weight.

Blacks are not the deepest - that's the nature of LCD projection though.

Panasonic LCD Projection HD television: A compromise.

 

This is a television for the masses, not the high-end user. If you are willing to compromise on picture, and some space, then it is an good HDTV solution. This is an LCD projection television and is designed for widescreen programming. Normally when ...

Beautiful picture, lighter and smaller than other projection televisions.
