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.

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!
