Panasonic TX-L42ET50B Expert Review

Polish black is dead - it's official - but only for the well heeled. For so long the dominant colour scheme for flatscreen TVs, the 3D-immediate, Edge LED-backlit Panasonic TX-L42ET50B - the first of many Panasonic TVs for 2012 - bears all the hallmarks of a high-end have a go.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, means a super-thin Crystal Frame metallic bezel.

Well, well-disposed of. The super-slim design (the Panasonic TX-L42ET50B is a mere 36mm in depth) features a visible metallic-looking bezel that's a delicate 11mm wide, but it's part of an optical illusion.

Around the edge of the panel is a 10mm transparent plastic rim that ripples into two steps, the foremost layer habitation that metallic bezel. Inside that is an 11mm seam of black around the actual panel, which ought to helpers push the perception of contrast on this Edge LED-backlit panel.

It might rely largely on funny, but overall it's a pleasant, understated look that's a mite fresher than the plain gloss lowering that other brands try to dress up as new and exciting (stand up Sony and its dull-as 'monolithic' design).
