Product Description

The PC inputs on Panasonic's 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.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.The best images you can ever view on a Panasonic plasma don't have anything to do with HDTV. Share your JPEG photos taken with a Lumix digital camera on a Panasonic plasma using the built-in SD card slot. 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.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.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 plasma display provides fine detail for outstanding HDTV reproduction. More pixels also translate into less stair-stepping artifacts; curved and diagonal edges look smooth and natural.

Amazon.com Product Description
One look at Panasonic's PT-60LC14 is all it will take for you to fall in love with home theater all over again. The high-definition liquid-crystal projection TV offers a perfectly flat, 60-inch display--that's 5 full feet across, measured diagonally--in a widescreen (16:9) dimension that's perfect for viewing DVDs and DTV movies in their native aspect ratios. The set offers a total of 13 separate inputs, including 4 component-video inputs, a HDMI digital video input for a direct-digital connection with a DTV set-top box, and 2 PC inputs capable of VGA, SVGA, or compressed XGA resolution (1 rear, 1 front). A handy PCMCIA/SD Memory Card slot lets you hook up your computer for viewing a digital photo slide show.

The set offers a native resolution of 1,280 x 720 alongside 300 cd/m2 brightness ensures vivid, exacting images from DVD players and other devices. What's more, Panasonic's Progressive Scan Doubler will upconvert standard interlaced (non-progressive) broadcast and auxiliary signals to flicker-free, 480p resolution.

The PT-60LC14 is considerably less bulky than most rear-projection televisions and consumes less energy. Further, LCD displays don't suffer from misconvergence or flicker, like their CRT counterparts. The Panasonic multimedia display incorporates thin-film transistor (TFT) technology, also known as active matrix, to improve color reproduction, eliminate ghosting, and boost response speed. A matching stand, the TY-60LC14C (shown), is sold separately.

Two-tuner picture-in-picture with split-screen display lets you view 2 programs at once by dividing the screen in half down the middle. Each program is shown at full height, with one program on the left side and the other on the right.

Movie sources get their due with Panasonic's 3:2 pulldown reversal feature, Progressive Cinema Scan. This enhancement compensates for motion artifacts that sometimes result from the telecine process that's used to convert film's 24-frames-per-second to an NTSC-friendly 60 frames per second. Other picture-enhancing features include horizontal and vertical edge correction and a motion-adaptive 3D Y/C digital comb filter, which eliminates "hanging dots" and color rainbow effects in closely spaced patterns.

The set's 2-way stereo speakers are powered by 15 watts per channel, and BBE ViVA HD3D Sound makes sure every program sounds its fullest and liveliest.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link the set with any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver). HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

TV, remote control, remote batteries, and a user's manual.

Customer Reviews

Nearly 2 years and zero problems
Not sure if the previous reviewer has the 60" or the 50". The 50" PT-50LC13 (previous year) model is the one that had major issues with the lamp. This 60" has very few problems and a fantastic picture, even better than Sony. I've had this set for almost 2 years now and the biggest problem I've had is finding enough HD programming. Discovery HD looks fantastic and rivals some plasma's. I've had plasma owners tell me this. When I bought this set I researched many customer reviews. 35 out of 37 were very happy with it. The other 2 say they had some lamp issues. As I stated earlier, the LC14 model has resolved the lamp issues over the LC13. This set should give you years of enjoyment and of course no burn-in issues. It is viewable from deep angles on the side and in well lit rooms. It has 1 HDMI, 4 component inputs and a couple of VGA inputs for your computer as well. The set also has memory card slots (SD, Compact, etc.) for showing off digital photos. It's only 18" deep and weighs in at a svelte 101 pounds. 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720 resolution. Works great with a MAC from DVI to HDMI. Good luck in your search!
