4.0 out of 5 stars TC32LX20 Review, July 9, 2004

This review is from: Panasonic TC-32LX20 32-Inch WideScreen Flat Panel HDTV-Ready LCD TV (Electronics)

Our 52" projection TV was dying so we initially replaced it with a 22" Panasonic LCD. It was waaaay too small compared to what we were used to, the picture was fine though. So we decided to return the 22" and go for the 32" TC32LX20. This thing is BEAUTIFUL! The picture quality is fantastic and it has a wide viewing angle, much better than our old projection screen. The TV itself is pleasant to look at even when it's off. :) The only reason I gave it 4 stars is due to the high price. Compared to other LCDs though I think, it's 'reasonable'. A projection LCD would be a good alternative if you want a big screen for much less though they're still not as slim as an LCD or a plasma screen.

Pros:
-Excellent video quality, vibrant colors and wide viewing angle
-Slim for a screen this size, pedestal has a small footprint
-LCDs supposedly have a 15 year lifespan and don't have the same issues plasma and projection TVs have

Cons:
-Very pricey for a TV but worth it if you have the budget for it
-A protection plan is gonna make it even more expensive
-Menus and documenation not as slick as Sony

After window shopping for 6 months I finally decieded on this Panasonic model. I went with an LCD because of brightness and color saturation of picture. This particular model stood out from the rest in clarity and color of picture. Has two component inputs and HDMI input (very important) which will give optimum picture quality from HD cable or DVD source. Front side composite inputs and earphone jack very handy. Sound quality is very good and handles higher volume levels well with very good bass response. High definition broadcast channels are jaw dropping on this tv and even channels that are not HD, look great. I am extremely happy with the quality. Shop around for cables.. From what I read, Monster cables are unecessary expense and excellent cables can be found for half the price...

Regardless of VIERA or somewhat earlier generation technology - in Panasonic TV you always buy special "traditional" picture quality. In this case the choice of brand is crucial since you're dealing with an LCD, no CRT or plasma. LCD designers world-wide are fumbilng with the problem of shade or tint prominence against the "main" colour aggression. You might not give a damn, but it's shades and tints that render volume to images and depth to planes. They - and the contrast -- determine how much "cinermatic" you will go. Luckily, both aspects are okay here - because it's Panasonic's "warm and soft" colour adjustment and because it's an LCD drive, unbeatable in contrast (which you can tell by your computer monitor). Don't "rape" those contrast and colour saturation levels though - for fear of upsetting the nature.
