Almost the entire surface is occupied by the screen, and the thin edge silver manages to keep within the limit to its size, promoting the minimalist philosophy in vogue. The basis is formed by a simple metal panel combed, while a V-support supports the entire weight. Once mounted, the Panasonic Viera TC-L50ET60 it seemed a little shaky, but it runs really no risk because the broad base is fully able to support its weight.

The panel is also incredibly thin, but to suffer, though not so important, are the connections, which are not easy and fast access, especially if the TV is placed inside shelving, half-closed or if a wall mounted. The Panasonic Viera TC-L50ET60, having regard for its position within the range of Panasonic LCD, deserved at least an HDMI jack more. There are three more than enough in most cases, but few for fans of electronics and multimedia.

To complete the connections we park, the main three USB, one Ethernet (but there is also the integrated Wi-Fi) and the headphone jack. The TV is also equipped with two slots CAM for viewing pay channels, and two DVB-T tuners and two DVB-S2 for satellite programs. This redundancy is important, as we shall see later, in case you want to harness the capabilities of the VCR which has the TV.

When you turn on the TV, the first thing that appears is My Home Screen. It is a customizable screen that immediately puts at the disposal of the spectator functions that use more frequently. This screen is, therefore, a sort of hub from which to select apps, widgets and favorite services.

Even for watching content in low-definition judgments are the same as those for HD, even if we continue to complain of the scarcity of high-definition programs available, especially for those who do not rely on satellite packages.

Given the spread of HD TV, it is time that it was relying even more channels to this advanced technology. We were blown away by the sound quality of the Panasonic Viera TC-L50ET60. The speakers and amplifier integrated to adequately support the vision of action movies. It’s not like being at the movies, but in a panel so thin it is difficult to expect much more.
