In store review.. will update… Very impressed.

While walking the long island of small HDTV’s… One things immediately stood-out about this Panasonic T.V.
Compared to all the other T.V’s (that were in a long row)… we noticed when we stood at a “angle”, the Panasonic picture remained crisp and sharp. The majority of other 32″ HDTV’s were “washed-out” at an angle.
99.5% of all other “exact sized” HDTV’s… became out of focus or “dim”…. when viewed at an angle.

This is very important (to my husband and I), because this Panasonic HDTV… will always…. have people viewing it at angle. (No couch or chair will be directly in front of this T.V.)

We saw this Panasonic model in “Three stores”. Hands-down, this 32″ Panasonic HDTV had the sharpest pictures and best, “true-color” … compared to all the other 32″ HDTV’s. in it’s class.

Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Disappointed with this otherwise decent TV
After reading lots of reviews of many LCD TV brands I decided on this Panasonic VIERA model. With only five days left on my 30 day return option, I am seriously considering sending it back and getting another brand. The color and picture quality are adequate (but only after spending lots of time with adjustments) and I am mostly satisfied with the TV, except for a couple of problems.

One problem is with the dark scenes, nighttime, darkened rooms, etc. The screen goes nearly black and it is really hard to see details of the scene. I have tried messing with adjustments, brightness, sharpness, contrast, backlighting, etc and nothing seems to fix this problem. This is my first LCD TV, my old Toshiba lasted forever, so maybe this is typical with these TVs? I hope not!

The second problem, and this one is the real dealkiller, is the volume. It’s ok, sort of, with regular TV or Tivo, needs to be at around 40 to catch softer conversation but it works. With DVDs it’s a different story. The volume has to be jacked up all the way to 100 to catch normal or quiet conversation when watching DVDs. And this is in a quiet room with no ambient noise! My hearing is fine, and no problems with other TVs, just DVDs on the Panasonic. It is very annoying. I can’t find any setting that fixes this. Maybe it’s a defect in this TV. There are no jacks or audio outputs for easy external speaker attachment, plus one shouldn’t have to add speakers onto a 480.00 TV just to hear it!

I will probably send this TV back because once the 30 day return period is over I will probably regret keeping it.

Awesome LCD - Definitely better then the Samsung equivalent
I have been searching for the best LCD for kitchen/family room, hence no FULL HD as we don’t watch bluray movies in the kitchen/family room. Just wanted something with the following requirements:
- great for the kids;
- easy to use remote for the kids;
- next to nothing light reflection;
- non-full HD, i.e. 720p only;
- lots of inputs for connecting up game consoles and DVD player;
- well known reputable brand;
- built-in digital tuner;
- reasonably priced.

The only two which fitted my requirements were the Panasonic and the Samsung equivalent. When I did the on-line check for tech specs, the Panasonic was definitely the winner so then it was off to see the shops for the real thing. I could definitely see the difference between the two side by side watching the same picture. I found that the blacks were definitely more blacker on the Panasonic due to the higher contrast ratio with the Panasonic. The other important part was the sound, the sound on the newer LCD’s are usually quite bad, but I was very surprised to hear some good sound coming out of the Panasonic, nice base and also speech was very good no muffling sound.

If you are after the best picture and sound then you cannot beat the Panasonic TC-L32X1, it is definitely by far the better buy. Although, I must say that the Samsung does look a little better aesthetically.
