Other manufacturers such as Grundig-Philips-LG and the rest of them already retired from the outset made, mostly for quality reasons, and Samsung was able to so far never really convince, because of the unnatural image too bright colors and so on! quote at least not among the 1,000 price range, and more, I did not want to spend on a LED_LCD! The Panasonic Viera TX-L42EW6S (the S stands for the color silver) has more than I need, namely Wi-Fi and many apps, but anyway, he did it, so I use it now and again, but rather rare! This is my 2nd Panasonic, Toshiba used to be my trademark, but is now on the way down! Although now receive virtually all manufacturers the Panel's from LG, it's still a difference whether the TV now from LG or example. Panasonic is because driving the panels by the software and the interaction of electronics is also important, and since Panasonic is in my opinion just the best, because Panasonic just brings again more from the technology out, and it looks and you can feel easy!
The Panasonic Viera TX-L42EW6S actually has no significant flaws, only the somewhat poor viewing angle and the meager sound could be better, the rest is just perfect for a mid-range device, I would even argue that it at that price no balanced device as this Panasonic LED are! You could spend 100 more and get the ETW60 with 3D, but who except 3D also no advantage this device over!
The image is simply very clear and sharp, as compared to many other TV's in this size and price range of these simple had the most natural image of them all! Very clear picture in HD anyway, but also in poorer image signals it still looks very reasonable! Clouding, banding or DSE and other bad things that one, he often does not read, rarely seen such evenly illuminated LED panel, and certainly not in this price range!
The connections are perfectly adequate, 3 HDMI, 1 component input, Scart, etc., only an analog AV output I would have liked, but on the basis of the other ports, you can live without that!
The wireless connection to the router worked quickly and without problems, a weather service with a speaking announcer is also quite nice, Youtube, Facebook and the usual suspects are on board and load fairly quickly, fast Internet provided;.) In TV there are also a speaking manual, means that all functions and all menus are explained by the typical feminine computer voice!
For optics, in silver, he just looks at Most, of course, that's a matter of taste, but in piano black one is cleaning daily on if then in white, but in my opinion looks from rather cheap as well! The pedestal is made of plastic, but is screwed by means of metal bracket and locking screws to the TV, a very firm and sure thing, because nothing wobbles!
A delay, whether it's looking at the TV, or when switching the there is not, the TV works well with the remote control together! When video games on PS3 or Xbox One I've all my games, even the fast tested extensively, and here was no delay, find the so-called input lag, everything fast, sharp and clean, as it should be, even though the TX -L42EW6S has no special Game Mode in! I have HDMI connections for gaming's easily adjusted for optimal's games, and it fits, no stuttering, no streaks or other negative things!
The tone should be put out music at all entrances, then the bass almost to maximum, heights and up, then you have a decent sound, which is sufficient to look for TV's, who wants more / needs which governs anyway on the system! I in my case had a jack to RCA adapter buy (5) and then got it to a sound system connected, the headphone output is controlled separately from the normal speakers!
I can recommend the TX-L42EW6S clear conscience continue, a super unit, at least for those who want to upgrade, also a for new console, or want to jump on the LED train, because one thing is clear, this TV needs 4 times less power as my previous Panasonic LCD, and in prices comes as at year's seen a lot of Euros together!
PS The Sony KDL 42W 655/656 is the only real alternative to this device, especially if you play online, the Sony input lag is still a bit faster, zwegs Game mode!
