LED-backlit
Rated 100% by by Vijay-Kumar (Sep, 2012)Very very nice picture and having 4 HDMI inputs is a blessing - connected my DISH HD, 3D BLplayer, ROKU & AIOS HD Media Center and the WII goes into the component.

LCD
Rated 80% by by Veritas (Jan, 2013)Coming from an older-generation TCL (not the newer ones, which sport a thin frame), the Panasonic looks stylish and outwardly quite sleek.
