By , Robert Wiley, and Phil Conner



= Highest Price and Most Features

Formerly Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd, Panasonic was founded in Japan in 1918 and went on to become Japan's largest electronics producer. In 1961 Panasonic produced its first television and entered the flat panel market in 1999. Though they normally stick to plasma for larger and high tier models, Panasonic still produces lines of LCDs available in smaller sizes and they also entered the LED backlit LCD market this year.

2014 Panasonic LCD & LED Televisions

Panasonic AX800U 4K LED TV  

The AX800U series is the flagship 4K Panasonic LED TV model for 2014. These THX 4K certified screens have the Dual Core Hexa Processing Engine for the best picture, upscaling, and accurate color. Panasonic's Smart TV platform is also fully featured on these sets.
TC-65AX800U, TC-58AX800U

Panasonic AS680U LED TV  

The AS680U is a slight variation of the AS650U series. A few extra picture quality features like a native 240Hz refresh rate really make this one stand out. The minimalistic design is attractive as well. The AS680U is available in a 55 inch size.
TC-55AS680U

Panasonic AS650U LED TV  

The AS650U loses a few of the picture quality features of the AS680U series, but has a better selection of sizes available. The sleek design and Life+ Screen smart TV, and 3D playback features are highlights of this series.
TC-60AS650U, TC-55AS650U, TC-50AS650U

Panasonic AS640U LED TV /w Soundbar  

The AS640U is similar to the AS530U series below it in terms of picture quality and design. The AS640U is packaged with a sound bar for superior out of the box sound performance. This is perfect for those who don't already have a home theater system in place.

Panasonic AS530U LED TV  

The AS530U series is the value focused model that still features the Panasonic's Life+ Screen options. All of the picture quality features have been stripped to keep the price down, but backlight blinking for fast motion remains.

2013 Panasonic LCD & LED Televisions

Panasonic Viera WT60 Series  

The WT60 series does not comptete in the size category with Sharp and Samsung who make 65 inch and larger LEDs. Panasonic put all the effort into making this series feature rich. And that it is. The long list of features is enough to make anyone have a second thought about putting a WT60 in their living room.
TC-L55WT60, TC-L47WT60

Panasonic Viera DT60 Series  

Second from the top, the DT60 series is available in 55 and 60 inch sizes. Panasonic did not push past the 55 inch mark last year so it's nice to see larger sizes this year. The DT60 loses a lot of the picture quality features of the WT60 above it, but keeps most of the Viera Connect features.
TC-L60DT60, TC-L55DT60

Panasonic Viera ET60 Series  

The ET60 series is the last of the lineup to feature 3D playback. It is the 2013/14 value model from Panasonic if 3D functionality is at the top of the list. The Touch Pad Controller and two pairs of 3D glasses are left out on this one. The design is toned down as well.
TC-L55ET60, TC-L50ET60

Panasonic Viera E60 Series  

The E60 series is goes without 3D features but keeps the Viera Connect smart TV platform. Therefore it a smart TV with value written all over it. All the models above it have 3D and all the models below it don't have Viera Connect. It is a middle of the road model with enough features to make it an attractive choice.
TC-L65E60, TC-L58E60, TC-L50E60, TC-L42E60

Panasonic Viera EM60 Series  

The EM60 series only offers two sizes. A 50 inch and a 39 inch. It is the solution for those not interested in either 3D or smart features. The lack of features makes it a budget model with a great picture. The design is basically the same as the E60 series above it.
TC-L50EM60, TC-L39EM60

Panasonic Viera XM6 Series  

The XM6 only comes in the 32 inch size. It is an entry level set with a 60Hz 720p display. This makes it perfect for a second room, guest room, or dorm room.

Panasonic Viera B6 Series  

The B6 series has three sizes. The 39 and 50 inch models offer 1080p resoultion and an IPS LED panel for enhanced side viewing angles. The 32 inch drops the IPS panel and has a 720p display. These are bottom line budget models with a few nice features in the larger sizes.
