Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
This TV has replaced my previous Panasonic 37" (TX-L37TU10B) TV. I have been a professional film and video cameraman for many years so picture quality is important to me (although I should emphasise I am using this TV for home not professional use). Although for the last two decades I have used Sony cameras, I now own a broadcast standard Panasonic video camera - in fact much of my home equipment (from breadmaker to still camera) happens to be Panasonic too. This is not down to any particular brand loyalty (and certainly no commercial connection), just that Panasonic make very good quality kit.
Firstly, this TV looks good. Its silver and glass design is restrained and elegant and, because of its thin bezel, feels no more dominant in the living room than than my previous 37" screen.
Printed documentation is minimal but on-screen help is excellent. Setting up the TV is very easy and, when completed, you are presented with choice of 'Home Screen' formats. The default format has the main screen image shrunk to about 3/4 size with a panel to the right giving a scrollable guide to TV channels, at the bottom of the screen you can select from the various other functions. Because there are so many ways of getting programmes on your TV - online, VOD, disc, USB, hard disc, cable and so forth - it is almost impossible to design a simple, clear interface that satisfies all users, but Panasonic have done a pretty good job.
This is, of course. a `smart' TV and among its features are:
- Freeview HD which gives, as would be expected, great picture quality on the four Freeview HD channels. Standard definition channels are also upscaled well - much better than on my previous TV where standard definition pictures had a rather nasty smooth but plasticy quality to skin tones.
- Built-in wi-fi which connected swiftly and painlessly to my home network. YouTube, iPlayer, Netflix and a web browser are all available but not, unfortunately LoveFilm, 4OD or ITVplayer - unfortunate omissions. I've had no problems streaming video through my network. An Ethernet connector is also available for a wired connection.
- A media player that plays from a USB drive or memory stick in one of the two USB ports. This TV plays most standard formats including .mkv, .mp4 and .avi movie files with no problems. Unlike my previous TV there is no SD card slot.
- Media Server. Easily connected via wi-fi to access all the media files on my computer. (I have a Mac and downloaded the free TVMobli software to enable this).
- 3 HDMI ports, 1 scart + 1 component/composite input. (Another HDMI port would be useful given the complexity of many home set-ups these days).
- Digital audio (Toslink) out. Unfortunately, if you run your audio through an analogue hi-fi amp (as I do) there is no analogue audio out but there is a minijack headphone socket which works fine. (I compared the headphone output to the digital audio via a Musical Fidelity DAC and although, switching between the two, the latter was noticeably clearer - airier and with better separation - without a direct comparison, the headphone output is perfectly acceptable). Audio quality from the TV's speakers is OK but no better than would be expected from a thin TV with small speakers.
There are also well designed free iOS and Android Viera apps that turn your phone or tablet into a remote control with the facility to 'swipe and share' video between that device and the TV.
There is no 3D function but this is not something that bothers me at all - if you want 3D, the Panasonic TX-L42ET60B provides it for another £130.
Of course the most crucial feature is picture quality and, I have to say, it is very good indeed. If you delve into advanced settings you can have a huge control over colour management (including individual settings of hue, saturation and luminance for each of the three primaries as well as gamma, gain and signal level) but messing with those is not for the faint hearted. Of the five 'viewing modes' (dynamic, normal, cinema, true cinema and custom) I have gone for 'true cinema' (I like to watch TV with the lights low) and reduced the brightness a little to maintain deep blacks. The pictures I am watching are, if it is not a contradiction, both vibrant and natural with excellent contrast. There is plenty of detail without artificial sharpening and colour purity is good if not excellent. I have a small living room so, viewing angles for those sitting at the side tend to be quite extreme and although there is some fall-off in contrast at the widest angles it is minimal.
Overall, this is an attractive, well designed TV with a great picture. Apart from the minor omissions mentioned above, there is really nothing wrong with this television. I have no hesitation in recommending it.
Please dont listen to the numpty who has given this TV a 1 star rating. Do your own research on proper websites, who review Tv's for a living :), and you'll soon see this TV is worth every penny. I work for an independent TV shop who specialize in Installing Panasonic and Sony panels. The E6 range at its price point is a no brainer,brilliant calibration control, amazing networking features and gives hands down the best picture performance a small panel panasonic lcd/led has given to date ! I have 10 years experience day in day out installing TV's and have probably owned well over 30 screens of all shapes and sizes in the last 8 years or so( currently A Pioneer Plasma , Panasonic projector,Panasonic led and sony LED ) and im currently using the 39e6 in my conservatory as a monitor for a high end PC, ps3,xbox 360 and a Wii U , and im very pleased with the results, infact i love this budget TV !. Aesthetically very pleasing as well :)
2 features i like from an installers/enthusiast point of view are, firstly the TV will now boot to last input instead of booting to "No channel found please check Aerial etc etc " if you dont have an aerial, and you only have av equipment and your av equipment is currently off, that is what you always see on any panasonic TV before 2013. I know it sounds anal but its much nicer to see a blank hdmi screen when your TV comes on, rather than your TV saying you need to check aerial and start auto setup ! and secondly the 2013 panasonic range finally support full range RGB as upto now all panasonic TVs have only supported ltd RGB range. as a gamer and PC user I much prefer the option to use the full colour spectrum, and rinse every last detail out of my graphics ! These features are long overdue in my eyes but probaly wont mean alot to you general punters though. Hope this helps anyways :)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
I could summarise this review by saying that the Panasonic Viera TX-L42E6B is an extremely good TV. Of very smart appearance before it's even switched on, the TV proceeds to display truly excellent picture quality, and I struggle to think of any way it could possibly be improved.
Installation is entirely straightforward. The base pedestal is supplied in two parts that bolt together, and then the top part is inserted to a slot on the back of the TV. Note that incorrect assembly is not possible, the bolts will only align with their holes when the parts are correctly oriented. The pedestal does not swivel, which is a slight minus, but it feels sturdier than a swivelling type, which is a plus. Then, with the TV in position, you're ready to connect cables.
The power connector is the figure-of-eight type commonly used by appliances such as shavers, so there is no earth connection, but the power lead does terminate in a UK-correct three-pin plug. Absurd as it may seem, I hunted for five minutes or more for somewhere on the TV to plug the power lead in, and actually had to resort to looking at the instruction book! I learned that the connector plugs in vertically to a hooded socket at centre left of the TV back cover, and then I was ready to go.
Setup was as easy as it is with all modern TV's. You select your country, connect to your network, and let the Freeview tuner scan for available channels. Once you have an internet connection a robotic voice talks you through some of the TV's features, but quite honestly I didn't find that very useful. Of course the TV is usable without a network connection, but because it is loaded with internet features - YouTube, iPlayer, internet browser etc - it would be a darned shame not to use them. I connected via WiFi, but there is an Ethernet socket for a wired connection. After entering all the characters of your WiFi password, press the handset BACK/RETURN key to complete; that is not at all obvious and you may find it useful. WPS push-button connection is also available if your router supports that feature; I have tried it and of course it works perfectly. Since installation the TV has maintained a flawless connection, and note that it's N specification WiFi and fast enough for streaming video from a media server on your network. Content from remote sources on the internet sometimes has to be buffered, which is annoying for someone as impatient as me, but is down to the server being short on bandwidth, and not a problem with the TV.
Panasonic's marketing makes much of the TV's Home Screens feature. These are simply ways to display various available features and applications in screen boxes separate from the TV picture, as shown in the product description, and the TV will revert to your chosen screen when it is powered up or when the HOME button is pressed. You also have the option to select Full Screen TV instead of a home screen as your default option, and for many people who just want to switch on and watch a TV program this is likely to be best. The TV will always power up with the last input selected, ie if you were watching BBC1 on Freeview when you switched off then that's what will appear, or if you were watching Sky via SCART that will be shown. You have the idea.
I should mention that there is only one SCART socket to complement the three HDMI ports, so if you are still using a clunky old VHS machine, a DVD player, etc that only have SCART facility, you may need to think carefully about how you will connect everything to the TV.
Available from the Google Play Store is a free application named Viera Remote for WiFi-enabled Android phones and tablets. I believe a similar app is available for Apple devices. Viera Remote connects to the TV via network and duplicates a number of handset functions, in fact all the important ones. This could be extremely handy if the handset falls in the fire, but more importantly it also allows photos and video on the phone to be easily displayed on the TV, use of the phone as a gamepad or keyboard - there is a plethora of features. I find Viera Remote to be absolutely terrific, and strongly recommend it.
The Panasonic Viera TX-L42E6B has been in my home for just three days as I write this, and I feel I have barely begun to explore what it offers. I am just so impressed by the picture quality, which is enhanced by the TV having such a narrow border that the screen seems to float in the air, and the sound is excellent from such a thin device. So what more could you want from a TV? Internet access, media playing etc? The TX-L42E6B does it all beautifully, and I only wish I could rate it better than 5 stars, because it is an absolute belter.

For those not interested in 3D, this set offers great style and picture quality. Easy to set up and use.
I recently decided to change my old 32 inch CRT Panasonic TV. I didn't realise, from viewing the demo TV's in shops, how much had changed. I decided to buy this 39 inch flat screen TV which was the same overall size as the 32 inch plus its casing. But what a fantastic picture!! Even viewing on standard definition it is significantly better than my old TV. And it has many more features that I am sure I will never explore eg iPlayer, internet access (although it did easily link in to my wireless router and worked when the installer showed it off to me).
I took a few days exploring the colour, contrast and brightness settings and finished up with what I can only described as a fantastic picture, including a much better definition in the Guide etc banners. As far as the quality of sound is concerned I am very happy with it, again it is far superior to my old TV. Previously I had to feed the sound to my Roberts radio Aux input to get the clarity and quality I wanted but the sound from the TV alone is so good I don't need to do that any more.
All in all, accepting that I won't use all the many facilities that the TV offers, I feel that this TV is really worth the money and is so much better than my old TV and shows how far technology has progressed. A first class TV and I wished I'd changed sooner. Don't be put off by below standard pictures on showroom models.

This has been a long time coming from CRT to 42E6B...I refused to buy a new TV until old CRT died...bless. Having looked for a long time and the CRT on it's final knees and having fitted TV's/VCR's for a few years many years ago I would like to think I know what to look for. Basics first... delivery on super saver excellent.....build quality.....excellent.....assembly/ease excellent...picture quality....very good, yet to meddle with settings... Connections.....only drawback maybe is lack of a extra scart connection (my fault not Panasonics) for us oldies. Sound as you would expect not fantastic but not as bad as the reviewers made out, maybe because I don't blare everything out as I used to!!. Waiting to test out app on smartphone as remote and smart services on TV....but overall so far seems very user friendly and most important of all a quality product
I bought the 32" version of this TV from John Lewis this last weekend for the same price as is currently on Amazon - £399 - the only advantage being the 5 year warranty supplied by John Lewis.
I haven't experienced any of the issues experienced by anyone else.
The sound quality is certainly good enough for the bedroom where we have located this TV and I would say it's much better than other TVs I own elsewhere in the house. The picture is brilliant, however I suggest that people look at the settings as by default, a lot of the settings are set to `auto' which means it handles the backlight according to the lighting in the room - perhaps this doesn't suit everyone and account for every different room lighting, so I'd suggest turning this off.
The Wi-Fi connected perfectly first time and the speed is fast, stable and reliable. The application for Android is fantastic - sharing a photo or video to the TV works flawlessly and from my experience, much quicker and more reliable than an apple TV.
My suggestion is that if you are thinking about buying one, stop thinking and buy one, for this price you won't beat it the build quality, picture quality and features on offer- it puts even my 42" Panasonic bought for nearly double this price to shame.

This is our first SMART TV and I'm already hooked. The picture quality, especially on HD chanels is excellent and the ability to access web applications is very impressive. So far, streaming Netflix films has been seemless via the built in wireless receiver, with no loss of picture quality.
I particularly like the minimal surround margin, which means that the viewing area relative to the extremities of the screen is maximised.
The only gripe I have is with the delivery company, whose communications on delivery were extremely disappointing, wasting my whole day!
Nice post...... Information about Digital Camera are really important for picture clarity . To get more information related to this system contact here panasonic video camera and get high class information
