Panasonic Viera TX-L19X10 19inch LCD TV

Posted: 17 Sep 2009 06:45 AM PDT

Despite his love die-hard of plasma technology, Panasonic has produced some of the first “portable” LCD TV ever released. And very nice they were too ridiculously cute drawings combine with amazingly bright, colorful images to give us a first glimpse of the bright future that LCD technology has come to enjoy. Since those early days LCD, however, we have not really met many Panasonic phones, in part because of our tendency to focus on large screens, and partly because Panasonic actually stopped making the screens smaller than 26in around for a while.

Panasonic Viera TX-L19X10 19in LCD TV

But with the market second TV room enjoying a strong surge in popularity right now, Panasonic has wisely joined the fray LCD portable form of the TX-L19X10 - a 19-inch model available in black (L19X10B) and White (L19X10BW) versions. Another unexpected bonus for the L19X10BW is its price. For £ 279 It is very affordable for a “big brand ‘19in TV, bypassing the occasional problems of Panasonic to its LCD televisions as affordable as aspects of plasma.

Since I still hold a candle embarrassing for the design of Apple’s original iPod, I was attracted to the white version of L19X10 like a moth to a flame. And as I survey my choice, I must say that I’m surprisingly satisfied. Compared with the ever-so-seems a bit dull for larger screens Panny, the L19X10BW is pretty cute in his white livery, especially since the arrival of light is wrapped around an attractive sculpted body.

Although connections L19X10BW are not spectacular, until they cover all major databases. There is only one HDMI, for example, as well as two SCART, a PC port, component video input, and an SD card slot, you can use to view photos taken on a camera SD so the most favored — of course! - For Panasonic, among others. The HDMI and component video inputs noted above are consistent with the HD Ready specification, and this is complemented by a native HD resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels which is consistent with a true widescreen 16:9.

Seeking Also good on the specification side of things is a contrast ratio of 4,000:1 claimed. This suggests that sports L19X10BW a dynamic contrast system, where the level of display backlight can be automatically adjusted for brightness levels of image presentation. Important though this feature is, it is far from absolute certainty on a cheap, small TV.

Scores L19X10BW a blow to many rivals small screen, too, by the completion of on-screen menus that are both easy to navigate and actually possible to read from quite a distance. Wow - the wonders never cease. The list of features contained in these menus is not particularly large, at least when considered alongside the material carried by more expensive 22-inch LG 22LU5000. But the option of automatic color and a cinema / Presets image Thu help squeeze just above offerings feature many rivals same price range. [via trustedreviews]
