Panasonic's PT-50LC14 is a 50-inch LCD TV that is as comfortable displaying computer images as it is playing DVD, TV programs, or video games. The profile is a relatively shallow 15 inches. This set may be paired with an optional silver stand that complements its styling, with a clear oval shelf for components.

The images come through with exceptional clarity and brightness on the large LCD, which is viewable from practically anywhere in the room. High-definition and enhanced-definition content can be viewed on the PT-50LC14 when an HD receiver is connected to the component video inputs, and this set can also double as a really large computer monitor, which has 1,280X720 resolution. The 3-D Y/C digital comb filter keeps images sharp and limits motion artifacts and hanging dots, so the picture is always crystal clear.

The picture is further enhanced by progressive scan doubling. Movies are displayed with the help of progressive cinema scan. Dual tuners provide the option of split screen or picture-in-picture viewing of a second program, including the possibility of viewing computer output on one side of the screen and TV content on the other.

The audio system features twin 15-watt speakers with simulated surround sound, automatic volume leveling, and BBE high-definition sound, for a full, rich audio experience. The connectivity of the PT-50LC14 is exceptional, with four sets of component video inputs, three audio/video inputs, three S-video inputs, two RGB inputs, two PC audio inputs, a DVI input, and a PC card slot for transferring images from a digital camera.

Other features include a sleep timer and closed caption on mute. The universal remote control has a lighted disc controller to make navigation through menus especially easy.
