Amazon.com Product Description

Large enough to "wow" you but compact enough for modest-sized homes and offices, Panasonic's PT-43LC14 high-definition liquid-crystal projection TV offers a perfectly flat, 43-inch display in a widescreen (16:9) dimension that's perfect for viewing DVDs and DTV movies in their native aspect ratios. The foot-deep set offers a total of 12 separate inputs, including 4 component-video inputs, a HDMI digital video input for a direct-digital connection with a DTV set-top box, and 1 PC input 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 high, 400 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-43LC14 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-43LC14C (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.

Great TV, look no further!.......2006-06-06

After seeing the picture postcard like LCD displays in many stores, I fianlly gave in to the temptation of buying a HD LCD tv - and what a tv it is!
I am glad I listened to my friend who has had this set for a year and a half.

Was surprised to see the rating that this tv has on amazon. Looking closer, I found that some of the negative rating were for other Panasonic tv's and not this one. A goof up somewhere.

Singling out any one feature may do injustice to the many this one has to offer. Let me explain each on its own merit:

1. Picture: First thing that would bowl anyone out is the picture quality - crisp picture, great rich colors, excellent contrast, just too pleasing to the eyes. To compare the video from different sources:
a. HD Cable channels: This tv enhanced the clarity of the HD channels even further, when comparing to some of the pictures I have seen in TV stores.
b. Standard TV channels: The TV has a "normal" video mode for watching standard width format SDTV programs. Standard TV channels look very preety good on this TV, easily comparable to my old Sony Trinitron.

Room Lighting effect: The TV has 3 main preset modes for different lighting conditions. Vivid is great in a well lit room. The Normal mode is good in "drawing room" dimly lit conditions. The cinema mode brings home the theatre in low light conditions. Plus, the TV has good manual setting controls to change the picture "look" as per user tastes.

2. Sound: After setting this TV up, I did not feel the need for connecting my Onkyo speakers for a month after listening to the surprisingly good sound from this set. With the speakers lying around and the availability of so many slots for hooking these up behind the TV set, I did make the connection. Luckily my neighbours are on vacation.

3. Looks: The TV, with the matching stand looks stunning. With its low depth, it is as good as a flat panel TV for people who do not want to hang it on the wall.

4. Remote: The remote is very easy to use and has a lot of controls on it. It was easy for my fingers to get used to this one after being trained to use the Sony for so many years.

5. Controls: The TV has manual and auto channel tuning. You would love the search option where by it keeps showing a small window of 3 channels on the side which playing the cahnnel you want to see on the big part of the screen. Thus I do not miss any action while watching the TV guide for what's next!

6. Connectivity: It is easy to hook up the HD box, computer, DVD player, Tivo Xbox and everything else together on this box. It has multiple s-video, component and composite slots.
The TV offers these video connect options to connect the source to the TV. These are listed below in the order of quality, the best listed first:
HDMI
SVGA
Component
S-Video
Composite

7. Extras: SVGA cable is inside the pacakage, saves a few good dollars.

8. Bulb Life: A few reviews here said that the bulb has a short life. They have mentioned a differnt TV model and not this one. Mine has been good since I bought it and my friend has not had to replace it for 18 months now.

9. Computer monitor: I used the SVGA cable to hook my computer to this TV. With a wireless mouse/keyboard set, am able to use my computer without moving a muscle. What I love even more is that I can surf the net and watch my favourite sport together on the same huge screen.

This product is highly recommended!

Excellent TV.......2005-12-03

I've had this set for almost a year and it's been great. The picture is great in Hi-Def and it is good at displaying at non Hi-Def as well. The main complaint others have seems to be the bulb wearing out, mine hasn't yet. And, I think the sound is pretty good.

A nice tv.......2005-08-14

I have to agree with the review Kiril wrote. I'm quite happy with the Panasonic PT-43LC14...I've had it now for 10 months and have had no problems. TV programs can look grainy at times, but I believe this is to be expected with a larger screen. I bought the tv for watching dvds and have been quite happy. The speakers have a bit of trouble with low frequencies in that the speakers will rattle, but I'll be buying a home theatre system one day. There are a multitude of connectors on the back, and you can even connect your computer to the tv. Great for games!
I did purchase the 5 year warranty with the set, so if *anything* goes wrong in that time, it will be replaced for free! It was $475, but worth it IMO, when you consider one of those lamps are $300. Plus the peace of mind is also nice.
Overall, I'm not sorry I purchased this set.

Nice picture, very expensive to maintain.......2005-02-01

Have had PT-40LC12 for two years now and have experienced the same problems other reviewers have mentioned -- 2 lamps in 2 years at $330 each. Now the lamp ballast has gone bad and that will run another $1,000 for parts and labor.

Have heard lamps and lamp ballasts are an issue with all LCD and DLP rear projection, but can only cite my personal experience here.

Nothing but problems.......2005-01-20

I first purchased this TV a few weeks ago. After a week or so, I noticed that on certain cable channels (analog, not digital) the audio was out of sync with the video. This was usually in the range of 0.1 - 0.5 second lead in the audio. Confused, I watched some movies and it did the same thing. Thinking it was a problem with the TV, I had the only person I knew with a truck drive 2 hours to my house to bring it back, we brought it back no problem, got the new TV, that person left, and the TV then wouldn't turn on. Extremely aggrevated, I called the place where I purcahsed it and they agreed to deliver a new one for no charge. I got the new one and it has the same audio out of sync problem as the original, except sometimes it seems worse. This happens on the both the HDMI, and component outputs of the DVD player (and yes I did try a different DVD player). So either the store gave me back the original, or panasonic needs to review their schematics.

Customer Reviews:

Good headphone for a budget lover.......2006-12-30

I am using one of these headphones for a month now. I am very pleased with overall performance of these cans. It's comfortable for a 3-4 hour straight use. I also feel the construction is solid so, it will stand some rough use for couple of years. Also considering the price I paid (around 10) this piece is totally worth it.

Goods:
- Price
- Decent performance
- Good construction
- Long cord (10feet)

Bads:
- Leather wraps on the headphone may feel hard (if you are use to soft leather you may find it difficult)
- Not for audiophiles.
- Wont fold

Okay, but slightly dodgy adapter.......2006-12-20

These headphones sound okay. I find the way the cushion sits on your ears instead of around them a bit odd, but it's not so bad. The adapter for larger plugs is a bit poor, though: the smaller plug on the headphone cable fits into it rather too loosely, and after a few weeks it's got to the stage now where it doesn't make contact properly.

These rival my Sony Studio Monitor headphones.......2006-07-29

I cannot beleive the quality of sound from these headphones. Not to mention the price! These headphones sound every bit as good as my *very expensive* Sony Studio Monitor headphones at a fraction of the price.

They have a very rich, well-balanced sound and can handle very high power and punch with no distortion.

I am very, *very* picky about my headphones. They had better be rich and perfectly clean for me to even consider them... and these more than meet my expectations.

And to beleive I get this from a headphone brand I've never heard of, and at a price like this!

I highly recommend these headphones.

Decent sound.......2005-05-26

Shopping around at a refurbished store, I found these on sale at $10. I bought them, because the original price is $20, so they should be pretty nice. And they are.

SOUND QUALITY (5 stars) -

The sound on these headphones is outstanding for the price I paid. The bass is very deep, and the treble is pretty clear as well.

COMFORTABILITY (4 stars) -

The comfort is pretty good. They do seem to press somewhat hard after some hours, but overall, the comfort is good. The headband is very soft, and the headphones are pretty adjustable.

PORTABILITY (2 stars) -

Ok, get real, anything this size is unportable. They aren't foldable, and I wish they were. I guess I can use h.ears for portable purposes, because the h.ears don't sound as good.

COST (5 stars) -

The cost was very good. I can't believe I paid such a low price for this quality.

Overall, the EH710 are recommended for people who like quality sound and aren't big travelers.
