More Than Just a TV—Web Browsing and PC Gaming
The PC inputs on our LCD projection TVs make them ideal for use as large multimedia monitors. Connect a PC and experience web surfing, gaming, and even DVD playback using a large, crisp, high-resolution display.

View Digital Programming Without A Cable Box
Panasonic LCD projection HDTVs with CableCARD slots can accept a small card that allows you to receive standard definition and high definition digital broadcasts—no bulky set-top cable box. Contact your cable company to find out if they offer this service in your area.

Receive Over-The-Air HDTV Broadcasts
Sports, movies, and original network programming are all available in high definition from many local broadcasters. Receive and view local over-the-air broadcasts on this TV in stunning HDTV clarity using the built-in HDTV tuner1. If your cable company passes through HDTV broadcasts from local broadcasters, you can decode and tune those as well.

A Single Cable Carries High-Quality Digital Audio and Video If you have even a moderately complicated home theater setup, you probably have a pile of tangled cables on the floor behind it. Imagine replacing all those cables with a single cable that carries both digital video and audio at the same time. With the new HDMI standard, that's exactly what you get. The HDMI connector on this TV accepts high-quality digital video and audio via the same thin cable, allowing you to run one cable from the source to the TV.

Share Digital Photos On the Big Screen with Photo Viewer
The best images you can ever view on a Panasonic LCD projection TV don't have anything to do with HDTV. Share your JPEG photos taken with a Lumix® digital camera on a Panasonic LCD projection TV using the built-in SD card slot2. Simply insert the SD card, which is about the size of a postage stamp, into the SD slot on the TV and enjoy a photo slideshow.

A Cinema-Style Viewing Experience At Home
This widescreen TV features a width-to-height ratio similar to movie theater screens, providing a theater-like experience at home. View HDTV broadcasts and widescreen DVDs the way they were meant to be seen.

Crisp, Lifelike Details
HDTV broadcasts and DVDs offer more detail and better color than analog broadcasts, and it takes a high-resolution display to deliver all that picture information. The high pixel count of this LCD projection TV provides fine detail for outstanding HDTV reproduction. More pixels also translate into less stair-stepping artifacts; curved and diagonal edges look smooth and natural.

Select Video Inputs Directly
A lot of TVs force you to cycle through every single video input in sequence. With modern TVs accepting more and more video inputs, you end up pushing the "video" button five or six times before you get to the source you want to watch. This TV lets you select video inputs directly so you can jump right to the input you need.

Strengths:
Displays all current hd formats (480i,480p,720p & 1080i)
HDMI input,PC in terminal
Digital optical out
Built in HD tuner
Cable card slot
3 Component inputs

Weaknesses:
Entry model tv sound equalization isnt possible with external sources only works with antenna.For some reason sd commercials are louder than HD programs.
Blacks aren't good as dlp and most crt's
Tv sound isn't that good at all
No clock
Can't adjust colors if the source is component or hdmi (normally settings are just right not with this Panasonic line)
80% of menu items are for ota signals only
Over priced for a basic hd set.
