Amazon.com Product Description

Save space and enjoy the vivid, lifelike colors and movement of high-definition television with the 32-inch Panasonic TC-32LX50 LCD TV. It features a widescreen aspect ratio (16:9) with a width-to-height ratio similar to movie theater screens, providing a theater-like experience at home, and offers a maximum resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It comes with a built-in NTSC, 181-channel tuner, and requires a separate ATSC tuner to receive HD signals. Simply connect an HDTV tuner or cable box and experience high definition broadcasts with amazing color and detail. It's compatible with 1080i, 720p, and 480p signals, and your DVDs will look incredible when played back from a progressive scan DVD player at 480p.

Fast pixel response time is essential to accurate image reproduction on LCD displays. This LCD TV features an impressive 14ms response speed, helping to ensure excellent detail and smooth motion during high-speed scene transitions. It also offers an extremely wide viewing angle of 170 degrees, so whether you're right in front of the TV or sitting off to the side, you'll still get great image quality. With the motion adaptive 3D Y/C digital comb filter (which separates the color signals to minimize dot crawl and blurred edges), you'll see sharp, focused images regardless of their source. Other features include an 800:1 contrast ratio and a 450 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating.

This TV features four built-in speakers with 10-watts per channel and stereo output for connection to a home theater audio system. It features the following video and audio connections:

• Composite AV In (RCA): 3 (1 front)
• Composite AV Out (RCA): 1
• S-Video In: 3 (1 front)
• Component Video In: 2
• HDMI In: 1
• RF In: 1
• Headphone: 1

The HDMI connection offers exceptional video and audio quality with a single quick-disconnect connector. It supports multi-channel digital audio transmissions and component video color spacing for true rendering of HD video. HDMI supports the HDCP copy protection standard, allowing transmission of copy-protected digital content to your display. The video portion of HDMI is also backwards-compatible with DVI-HDCP devices using a special cable adapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply delightful, October 27, 2005

This review is from: Panasonic TC-32LX50 32-Inch Flat Panel LCD TV (Electronics)

I've had this TV for a few weeks now and have no complaints at all. I researched small to midsize LCDs and plasmas pretty thoroughly, and so far I'm very happy I went with this Panasonic. Here are a few observations on some points you're probably familiar with if you've been reading reviews and stats:

LCD vs. Plasma: Some of the plasmas I saw were admittedly impressive. But for me the 42" minimum was a bit too big. And plasmas are real energy hogs: A 42-incher runs at well over 500 watts (compared with less than 150 for this LCD). That's a lot of heat to be pouring out for hours every day. Plasmas are also much more fragile. It's important to remember that LCD is a newer technology, and reviews from even a year ago may be misleading because of improvements since. That's particularly true of poor refresh rates -- not a problem with this TV.

Viewing Angle: If you move to the side significantly, colors will definitely start washing out, with the effect pretty noticeable at 45 degrees or so. I can see where that might be annoying for some people, but I was aware of that aspect ahead of time, and it doesn't bother me -- I have no trouble getting the TV and my butt lined up straight. Two people at either end of a couch with the screen 7 feet away or more will not notice any color drop-off.

Bad Pixels: This concerned me when I first read about LCDs, but it's been a complete non-issue. Don't know if I got lucky with a perfect screen or any dead ones are just unnoticeable, but either way, I'd say don't worry about it.

Contrast & Black: Maybe plasmas and conventional CRTs do crank out marginally deeper blacks, but again, it's not an issue. The picture is bright, sharp and vivid, and you simply won't find yourself saying, "Damn, I wish those blacks were blacker."

High Definition: Limiting a TV like this to standard definition is like buying a Corvette to drive around the Target parking lot. If you don't have access to HD or plan to get it soon, hold off on the purchase -- electronics all get cheaper with time anyway. But when you do go to HD, you won't be disappointed. The nature shows on Discovery HD are stunning. (BTW, most network prime-time shows and sports are available in HD now. Cable generally offers it, and Directv should beam it down by year's end; and your local network channels probably broadcast HD on UHF.)

Inputs: The flexibility of the multiple inputs on the set is great. You can hook up each component separately with the best connection it can use; e.g., HDMI for a high-def receiver, component video for a DVD player and A/V plugs for a VCR.

All in all, a great TV. I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Far, So Good!!!, September 30, 2005

This review is from: Panasonic TC-32LX50 32-Inch Flat Panel LCD TV (Electronics)

after reading the reviews, doing some research and seeing this TV up close, i decided to go for it. That was 2 months ago...So far its lived up to expectations. Easy setup and use, i purchased the HD tier channels from my local cable company. Although only 7 HD channels available, the picture on those are unbelievable. Everything they said about HD is true...Ive always been happy with the Panasonic Name Brand in video components, along with a couple JVC items also...Im glad i bought this tv,,,,Only thing i was bummed about was the rapid price drop in the past 2 months...All the major retailers (on line or real time) now selling this tv for 400 to 600 $$ less then i paid.....oh well,, hang in there a month or 2, maybe they will be giving them away!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Difference between 32LX50 and32LX20, December 4, 2005

This review is from: Panasonic TC-32LX50 32-Inch Flat Panel LCD TV (Electronics)

Reprinted from [...]:

It is amazing how much can change in the LCD TV industry in the blink of an eye. Less than a month ago we reviewed Panasonic's largest LCD offering, the TC-32LX20. A month later its replacement, the Panasonic TC-32LX50, is shipping. With the TC-32LX50 you'll have to blink your eyes a little faster not to miss a change in picture - the new Panasonic's response time is 14ms, beating its predecessor by a quick 2 milliseconds. Along with improved response time the replacement model includes other subtle changes to the screen. Panasonic scaled back the feature lineup on the newer model. Major changes were made to the TC-32LX20's controversial styling. We were universally impressed with both of the TVs. Picture, features, and value are all top-notch. We review the Panasonic TC-32LX20 LCD TV in-depth here, commenting on changes made in its replacement, the Panasonic TC-32LX50 LCD TV. Both TVs receive the same overall score, an impressive 95/100.

The Panasonic TC-32LX20 and TC-32LX50 LCD TVs are 32-inch offerings in the VIERA line of flat panel displays. The Panasonic VIERA line is direct competition with the AQUOS line from Sharp, the LCD king. Panasonic, which is heavily invested in building plasma displays, hasn't fallen behind Sharp in the LCD race. Panasonic's highly styled TC-32LX20-era VIERA plasmas and LCDs look like TVs out of the future, while the latest generation of Panasonics, including the TC-32LX50, and Sharp LCD models are staid in appearance. Both manufacturers' lines of displays are excellent and a consumer looking for a high-end HDTV built on LCD technology can't go wrong with either.

The Panasonic TC-32LX20's screen is surrounded by a dark black frame, which is in turn surrounded by silver plastic. The Panasonic TC-32LX20 LCD Television has speakers on the sides, where as the TC-32LX50's are located on the bottom. Panasonic reserves the space below the screen on the TC-32LX20 for a treasure trove of controls and inputs, including digital camera media card slots and composite RCA jacks. Panasonic lays a piece of tinted glass over the TC-32LX20's LCD screen area that overlaps the speaker bezels along the sides. The extra glass layer creates a sense of depth. The design is by no means orthodox. Like it or not, the TC-32LX20's design catches your eye and stands out from Sharp and Sony's offerings. Depending on your taste you may or may not be sad to see that for the TC-32LX50 LCD TV Panasonic went with a black frame and bottom mounted silver speakers for a more orthodox look. We suspect the TC-32LX20's radical design was Panasonic's attempt to scream for attention as it carved out early market share in the LCD market; the TC-32LX50 is gracefully styled to let you concentrate exclusively on the TV's picture, its best feature.
