At A Glance
The Panasonic TC-L42D30 offers impressive sound and engaging photo slideshows, but its image quality is unexceptional, and it has some rough edges.
Manufacturer’s Description
Wide Viewing Angle: With VIERA's wide 178 viewing angle, you see clear, vibrant images from every seat in the room. The backlight features a wide transmission aperture that enhances contrast between light and dark and improves response to provide smoother motion images. 120Hz Motion Picture Pro4: Even fast-moving scenes are displayed sharply and clearly. With a 60Hz video signal input, 120Hz Motion Picture Pro4 makes 120 frames/second from 60 frames/second. This increases the frame count to allow natural frame-to-frame transitions, for smooth motion images with high resolution. Motion Focus Technology also reduces flicker and effectively suppresses blurring and after images.
