Panasonic DT60: Look but don't touch

2013-06-06
hi i'm ty pendlebury from cnet.com and today i'm looking at the panasonic dt 60 LCD TV for the past few years if anyone asked me to recommend them a TV I would always say by a panasonic plasma until now I have never said by a panasonic LCD but based on the strength of the dt 60 LCD i still wouldn't this is an impressive looking TV with an attractive silver finish and very slim bezel and it even includes a swivel stand it also comes with matching silver remotes one of which is a touchpad model with voice interaction this is an edge lit LCD but without local dimming and based on my testing this means fairly light blacks picture quality as a result is disappointing with poor shadow detail bluish blacks in a very indistinct looking image the other issue is back like clouding with almost yellow back light leakage on black screens colors at least are good with natural skin tones and primary red green and blues if you're a gamer the game mode also has fairly low latency 3d playback and sound are also pretty good the issue here is the TV is a thousand dollars over the price of the excellent st60 which is better if you're just watching TV and don't care much for features or gaming while this television is an okay all-rounder I'd still say get a plasma for this kind of money this has been ty pendlebury for seeing it done you
