Don't Sleep On This HDTV 
2008-04-23
This is a great T.V. Everybody looks at Sony, Samsung, Toshiba, but Panaonic Is the Leader in Plasma, and there on the upcoming of being the leader of LCDS too. Well thats just my opinion, but they are the leader of plasma televisions.
Excellent for playing!!

Panasonic 32" LCD TV 2008-02-23
I bought the Panasonic 32" LCD TV from Amazon.com and the price was right, the delivery was fast and the product arrived in great shape. I had no trouble setting the unit up and the color was great. The sound is great and no troubles have come about. It was good to work with Amazon and so I give this TV two big tumbs up in quality and performance (well worth the purchase). I especially like how light these LCD TV's are compared to my old Sony Analog TV which felt like a ton.
Panasonic Great Value 2008-01-28
It's all about value and as usual Panasonic delivers. Easy user interface makes our entry into HD a breeze. We've had the tv for about a month and we are pleased.
Great buy! 2008-01-24
We love our TV. The HDTV picture is amazingly clear. We don't subscribe to HDTV programming, but the shows that are not broadcast in HDTV still display clearer than our other TV. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Great buy, Great set 2008-01-10
I have had this set for almost a month now. It has almost all the features I wanted, except a PC input. The picture quality amazes me every day. Even non HD channels look great. I have it connected to a Time-Warner HD DVR box. Also a Samsung DVD player with 1080i up-scaler using an HDMI cable [also purchased from Amazon].
Another positive note Time-Warner remote also has aspect ratio control button.
All in all a terrific set would buy again. On a side note Amazon's free delivery was a big plus; they did call to schedule the delivery.
A Wonderful LCD TV for a Great Price 2008-01-02
Before purchasing this television, I had already bought a twenty-six inch Sony Bravia. I was content with the tv but there was something significant that was lacking in this particular tv: It was a little too small.
I was on Amazon and noticed another tv in the suggestion box. It was this Panasonic set, that was bigger and wore a price that that was fair enough for a thirty-two inch LCD television. I ordered it, opened it, and mounted it. The picture quality is even better than the Sony, and those six inches of difference are quite noticeable. I strongly recommend this tv for a bedroom or a workout room because it is big enough to actually display the LCD picture quality that you're paying for.
Terrific performance and value 2007-12-28
After comparing this television side-by-side with many others, including a far more expensive Sharp Aquos, I could detect virtually no reason not to buy it. Upconverted DVDs look EXCEPTIONAL and the sound is surprisingly dynamic; it almost sounds like a far bigger mini stereo system! Of course, it's still no match for a high quality amplifier and speakers, but it's far better than any other TV I've owned. (I cannot comment on how its sound quality compared in the store with that of other sets, as I only looked at the picture.)
The menu is easy to use and includes all the features you could expect, including fully adjustable backlight in addition to surround, noise filter, color temperature, parental lock, auto off, timers, etc, with the one notable exception of a memory function that allows the user to store 2 different picture settings -- one for HD and near-HD, and another for standard definition. With the former, sharpness can be increased so much it starts to make standard satellite images look fuzzy. Therefore, the lack of such a memory can potentially be an inconvenience. In an attempt to negate the problem, I made sure the DVD player I bought had its own picture controls. I believe that after lowering the sharpness on the TV to a modest level and increasing sharpness on the DVD player, I should be able to achieve excellent results for both sources without having to constantly make adjustments, assuming that when I upgrade to HD satellite, the receiver will be able to store 2 settings.
The back is nicely laid out (unlike my sister's Olevia) and offers 2 HDMI inputs, 2 s-video, 1 component, a "front" input concealed in a recessed area on the right side, and, for those who might use it, an optical audio out.
The remote, while large, fits nicely in one's hand and is nicely designed.
In short, if you can compensate for the lack of dual picture setting memory, this TV is for you!
UPDATE: Correction! This TV DOES have a memory feature for picture controls; I simply missed it. In the PICTURE section of the menu there are several "quick" picture settings (vivid, cinema, etc.) and what I did not realize before is that all the picture controls can be adjusted separately for EACH of these "modes". Just make sure you set each one while tuned to the input with which you want to use those particular settings and the TV will store them. For example, I'm using the VIVID mode for HD signals and CINEMA for standard signals.
Some people have complained that this TV does not display standard content well. They apparently haven't spent a few minutes fine tuning the set. Yes, if you adjust VIVID for HD signals by raising brightness, sharpness, and color to levels you never dared use before and then try to watch regular cable or satellite without changing the picture, the quality will be lacking. But if you select another mode like CINEMA or STANDARD and in it reduce sharpness, brightness, and color down to a moderate level, you will quickly see that there is no problem. I tried both standard satellite and even a VHS tape, and believe me, it's fine!
Finally, it should be noted that this set can also display 1080i. Perhaps all 720p sets do, but if you are new to HD (like me) then you may not be aware of it.
Enjoy! It's a great product.
Panasonic 32" LX70 2007-12-20
I love this TV! I've had it for about 3 weeks now, and I'm so happy I went with this model and brand. First of all, I really like the Panasonic company. They actually have a customer service department! (With real people! In this country!) Other than that, the picture is great. It's really just as good as, or almost as good as, a Sony or Samsung, and certainly better than any other brand. And the price is significantly less than other name-brands. They say that 720p looks as good as 1080p at this size. No channels broadcast at higher than 720p or 1080i anyway, both of which this TV supports. My recommendation is to not waste your money on 1080p unless you get a bigger TV than this, and plan to hook up a HD DVD or Blu-ray player otherwise you will never see the difference. Except in your wallet.
I was close to buying a Sharp, actually, until I read all the reviews that say that standard definition channels look TERRIBLE on the Sharp. Then I went into a store to compare and you can really see the difference when SD commercials came on. The vast majority of my channels are SD, so that was important. I don't have a HD DVD or Blu-ray, but the picture from my progressive-scan DVD player is incredible. One last thing: the sound is really good for a TV. I usually hook it up to my stereo, but it's surprisingly good on its own.
So if you are waffling between a few different TVs and this is one of them, I don't think you'd be disappointed AT ALL if you settled on this one. Buy it!
