Panasonic TC-L42ET5 42" Smart Viera ET5 Series 3D LCD HDTV with IPS LED Panel, 16:9 Aspect Ratio, 3D Eyewear

The Panasonic VIERA TC-L42ET5 has a new 3D IPS LED panel for superior & clearer images with polarizing 3D method. With VIERA's wide 178 degree viewing angle, you see clear, vibrant images from every seat in the room. The backlight features a wide transmission Aperture that enhances contrast between light and dark and improves response to provide smoother motion images.

A polarizing film on the display surface displays the left and right images for each of the odd-numbered and even-numbered horizontal scanning lines. When viewed through polarizing eyewear, different images are shown to the left and right eyes, resulting in the perception of 3D images. This method reduces the vertical resolution to one-half, but it is an easy way to view 3D images using light, economical eyewear. Great for watching with a group of people.
