 In store review.. will update... Very impressed. Apr 06, 2009
By Elsee

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.

Awesome LCD - Definitely better then the Samsung equivalent Jun 05, 2009
By tuspan

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.

 Disappointed with this otherwise decent TV Aug 30, 2009
By kare777
After reading lots of reviews of many LCD TV brands I decided on this Panasonic VIERA model. With only five days left on my 30 day return option, I am seriously considering sending it back and getting another brand. The color and picture quality are adequate (but only after spending lots of time with adjustments) and I am mostly satisfied with the TV, except for a couple of problems.
One problem is with the dark scenes, nighttime, darkened rooms, etc. The screen goes nearly black and it is really hard to see details of the scene. I have tried messing with adjustments, brightness, sharpness, contrast, backlighting, etc and nothing seems to fix this problem. This is my first LCD TV, my old Toshiba lasted forever, so maybe this is typical with these TVs? I hope not!
The second problem, and this one is the real dealkiller, is the volume. It's ok, sort of, with regular TV or Tivo, needs to be at around 40 to catch softer conversation but it works. With DVDs it's a different story. The volume has to be jacked up all the way to 100 to catch normal or quiet conversation when watching DVDs. And this is in a quiet room with no ambient noise! My hearing is fine, and no problems with other TVs, just DVDs on the Panasonic. It is very annoying. I can't find any setting that fixes this. Maybe it's a defect in this TV. There are no jacks or audio outputs for easy external speaker attachment, plus one shouldn't have to add speakers onto a 480.00 TV just to hear it!
I will probably send this TV back because once the 30 day return period is over I will probably regret keeping it.
Update; 4/4/2011
I kept the TV. After using this Panasonic for a year or so and getting used to some of its flaws I think it deserves a slight rating upgrade. The sound quality is still an issue, although since most of my movie viewing is now streaming, the inconsistent volume with DVDs has become almost a moot problem. Still, the sound quality is tinny and harsh like most TVs of this type. Like mentioned in earlier review, as far as I can tell, the Panasonic Vierra is one of the brands that do not have an "audio out" jack for easy connection of external speakers. I was told by Panasonic (and the guy at Best Buy) that to use external speakers I'd have to get a sound system/tuner or whatever you call it. Receiver? I am not into spending money for that, so I accept the cheap sound quality of this TV. The picture quality is great, nice and sharp with true colors after a lot of messing around with the settings. The TV is reliable and has not had any problems at all so far. Still, if I had it to do over, I would probably purchase a different brand of TV. This one is adequate, but not great. I've upgraded the rating to three stars. It would be four stars if there were an easier, less costly way to add external speakers. And, it would be five stars if no external speakers were required for decent sound.

Better than Samsung LN32A550! May 24, 2009
By Daisy
Extremely pleased with Panasonic Viera after returning top-rated Samsung due to harsh chemical smell which never went away. TV was easy for me to set up by myself (small woman) and attaching the stand was a breeze compared to the Samsung. Picture is clear and the SD card slot is Great!! I purchased this tv at Best Buy as I was in need of it immediately, but I cannot say enough for the delivery service I received from Amazon when I ordered and returned the Samsung. Customer service was outstanding in dealing with the very stressful situation of a chemical smell coming from the Samsung. I finally was told by the salesman at Best Buy that this is NOT uncommon and depends on how much fire retardent gets sprayed on the circuit board.
In summary - hooray for the Panasonic Viera and Amazon's continuing excellent selections, pricing, and customer service!!

EXCELLENT performance and value !! Jul 02, 2009
By SlikLizrd
"Slik"
Everything about the purchase, delivery, and set-up of this HDTV was far beyond my expectations -- as was the amazing picture quality and technical features !!
Once again, the Consumer Reports' top-rated model, in this case, the Panasonic Viera TC-L32X1 32-inch LCD HDTV set, was all they said it would be.
Set-up and programming was fast and easy, even for a senior citizen -- and the picture quality is clear, sharp, and with brilliant colors !!
And all this with just a glorified "rabbit ears" antenna !!!
UPDATE - 10/28/09: The Viera is now connected to Cox Cable -- and the picture quality is beyond excellent !!
Amazon's bargain price and speedy delivery made this a rewarding buying experience !!
