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

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

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 Great HDTV, May 16, 2009

By	Daisy Jane (Louisville, Kentucky) - See all my reviews

I bought this TV in December after reading a lot of online reviews and comparing different models. I love this TV. The on-screen menu and remote are so user-friendly that I've never had to read the owner's manual. Just take it out of the box, plug it in, turn it on and you're good to go. The picture is awesome-- great colors. It has plenty of ports for attaching any other equipment you need to such as VCR, DVD player, stereo, computer, gaming system. It even has a place to insert a digital camera memory card so that you can display digital photos. After using the TV for a few months it continues to be completely reliable. I think this TV will last me a very long time. If you're looking for a good LCD HDTV, this is the one.

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

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.
