This is a excellent TV. I was looking for a 2nd TV for my office. We currently have a 42" Panasonic plasma in the living room. I first purchased a Sony 32" TV, but quickly returned it. The Sony picture was horrible and had a lot of digital noise which I could not get rid of no matter how much I tweaked it. This Panasonic TV has an excellent picture, not quite as natural colors and deep black levels as my plasma, but still good none the less. The TV has many inputs, more then most will need, and the SD card reader and Ipod dock are nice features, even though I don't use them. The TV's pre-programmed picture settings are a little off. I found the colors to be overall too bright & saturated, which made extended viewing difficult. I find using the settings below provided good results in a well lit room.

Basic Picture Settings

Picture Mode: Cinema
Back Light : +85
Contrast: +90
Brightness: +60
Color: +40
Tint: 0
Sharpness: +20
Color temp.: Warm
Color mgmt.: Off
A.I. picture: Off
Video NR: Off

Advanced Setting

MPEG NR: Off
Black level: Light

I can't really comment on the sound, since I have it hooked up to a home theater system. But it seems to provide adequate sound for a small room. Most people will want to hook up some external speakers for a better experience. I have used this TV with my Xbox 360 & HD digital cable, with no problems. Overall this TV provides good value compared to other 32" LCD TV's in the 0 price range.

great tv - LeAnne K. Scott - MI
it was a very easy set-up, and the graphics are really nice for it being only 720p.


Big Disappointment with Amazon's service - Sabyasachi Mukherjee - louisville,ky,USA
The poor review is for amazon - not for the TV set. I would give a 5* rating for the TV set as I see it from retailers shop - I purchased it through amazon but never received!

Ordered this item from Amazon (Amazon was the seller) in 23rd November for the 9, free super saving shipping.

This was quite competitive with other sellers like 6ave etc. I trusted on amazon customer service and my past experience with amazon (amazon.co.uk) - it was showing that item in 'stock' and will be dispatched in 3-6 weeks time. I made the purchase from amazon and received the confirmation email which never said that the item is tentative - and I was provided a tentative shipping date.

In due course I was mailed that the item will be shipped from 28th December-6th January. It was a shame that I didn't take the chance to pick the same set from another seller during the black friday period and I counted on Amazon, Today I received an email saying : "Due to a lack of availability from our suppliers, we will not be able to obtain the following item(s) from your order: ..."
This is absolutely ridiculous as the item is available everywhere - but most probable reason for this - well it's not available anywhere at the price range near to 9! After waiting more than a month its extremely disappointing to get a communication from Amazon like this. Probably this is too small for Amazon - but you just lost a loyal customer (or probably two).
