5.0 out of 5 stars In store review.. will update... Very impressed., April 6, 2009

By	Elsee "Elsee" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L32X1 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV (Electronics)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome LCD - Definitely better then the Samsung equivalent, June 5, 2009

By	tuspan "tuspan" (Sanfran, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L32X1 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV (Electronics)

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.

This review is from: Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L32X1 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV (Electronics)

Very good 32" LCD television and is just the right size in our bedroom..... I believe that Panasonic beats them all hands down.... we replaced our very old CRT TV with this new light weight LCD and it does not take up as much space as the old unit did, which we really like........ in my own opinion, this Panasonic LCD has the best picture and sound over the other brands, and I did a lot of comparing ..... I have owned my LCD TV for over a month now.... we use it in our bedroom... I really like the timer feature too.... we have it set to come on at 6:20 a.m. to wake us up and then set to go off at 6:30 a.m... Monday thru Fridays only.... the set-up menu and features is very user friendly. The remote is not lit... has no internal light... but I don't think any of them have an internal light..... not a complaint, but the remote has more stuff on it than I will ever use.... I have owned my 42" Plasma Panasonic for over 2 years now and I am very satisfied with it too.... The plasma has a little bit of a better picture, colors are more vivid, than a LCD has but a plasma also cost more money too.... and a plasma weighs more and uses more power than a LCD TV... I like my new Panasonic 32" LCD so well that I just ordered the Panasonic 26' LCD for the guest bedroom....I would give the 32" and 26" a five star except for the fact that they only come in glossy black, the frame and base, which looks very nice but shows every speck of dust. I even called Panasonic and complained about that.....for not offering an alternate color like silver or gray.... I think that most all of the other brands, under 42", also come in only glossy black this year..... oh well.... my wife doesn't mind the glossy black so she gives these TVs a five star..... I recommend this Panasonic TC-L32X1 LCD TV...... they are very nice and well worth the little extra money over the other brands......
