Panasonic VIERA TX-L55WT65B Pro Reviews

The Panasonic TX-L55WT65B is a very decent HDTV suitable for bright room usage, but doesn’t really offer much improvement in image quality over the more affordable Viera DT65 and ET60 series. In fact, our particular WT65 review sample exhibited more severe backlight uniformity issues than the aforementioned step-down models, though its larger screen size may be to blame here (55″ versus 42″ and 47″ for the DT and ET we tested respectively). The TXL55WT65B’s suggested retail price of £2500 is too high for the picture quality it’s capable of delivering, even with 5-year warranty and a time-limited offer of free iPad 2 thrown in. Better value can be found in the ET60 and DT65 ranges, or, indeed, the Japanese brand’s superb lineup of plasma televisions.
