I guess third time was the charm |
| Review Date: June 19, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Christopher Varela, |
| I've been through 3 t.v.'s so far. The first t.v. I bought was my first HDTV ever but the picture was just not that good. I felt like it wasn't a good upgrade from SDTV. The second t.v. I bought had a really good HD picture and an acceptable SD picture, but no matter what I watched the picture was always dark for some reason even if I increased the brightness or contrast. That t.v. also lacked the inputs I needed for different things like my cable box, game systems, etc.
After deciding to give it one more shot, I stumbled upon this t.v. with it's great specs and many inputs. I have to say that this t.v. has excelled my expectations. From Standard definition channels to High definition channels, this t.v. is a winner. It is so bright even during the daytime (funny how others mentioned this too lol) and it has those inputs that I wanted. So far I've played my Xbox 360 on this t.v. and the picture cannot be beaten. The picture is so crisp and clear that it puts those other t.v.'s I had to shame. Oh and about the picture being dark, it can't be. I only have the settings on the "Game Mode" that this t.v. has and I can see every detail there is in the games. I haven't even brought up the brightness or contrast yet and there is no need for it! There is even an option in the menu to make dark scenes even more clear! The sound on this t.v. is also good. I thought I had my surround sound speakers on when using the t.v. but I actually was using the t.v. speakers and yes they were that loud at a low volume setting. So here is how I sum it up: VIDEO: 10 out of 10 I have not yet been disappointed with the SD or HD picture of this t.v. Whites are white, blacks are black. AUDIO: 10 out of 10 If something ever happened to my surround sound speakers, I wouldn't care because it will be like they never broke. INPUTS: 9 out of 10 It's nice that they're 3 HDMI inputs but I wish there was a second component input. But since everything is going HDMI these days, this is not a problem. PRICE: 10 out of 10 I've seen this t.v. going for up to $899 but I bought it for $699. What a steal at this price. OVERALL: 10 out of 10 Finally I have found the t.v. that I have been looking for all this time. I had to wait until 2008 to get it, but it was definitely worth the wait. If you have been waiting to get an HDTV, then now is the time to get it. You won't be disappointed. |
Great buy |

| I was looking for a new bedroom TV and decided on a 32" LCD. As I already own a 42" Toshiba Regza for the Living Room, I wasn't all that worried about having 1080p for the bedroom model.
I shopped around for this one a lot and could not decide between Sony, Samsung or Panasonic. After 2 trips to Best Buy, I decided the Samsung probably had a bit more vivid color and a swivel base. I ended up purchasing the Panasonic, however because the Samsung seemed to be less "solid" in construction and the Sony was about $100 more with what appeared to be a worse picture quality. I've had the TV for a little over a month and it has been flawless. I actually think it has a better picture than my 42" Toshiba. It was very easy to setup, pulled it out of the box, plugged it in and went through a very user friendly setup. I like how the speaker is hidden, and is of surprisingly good sound for an LCD. My only potential complaint is if I ever decided to mount it on the wall, the base is pretty weird in pulling off, which requires you to tip the screen on it's side. |
Best TV I've ever owned |

| I was really surprised at how good this TV is. The picture is perfect, no matter what kind of lighting is in the room, from full daylight to dim nighttime. It comes on quickly, and the automatic channel programming is just about flawless. The onscreen menu lets you control everything to set your preferences as desired. The HD programming (broadcast over the air) is just awesomely crisp and clear. |
Great Picture/Easy Set Up |

| Panasonic TC-32LX85 32-inch 720p LCD HDTV
I am very pleased with my recent purchase. Set up is simple. The remote is great. The picture is excellent. I can actually watch in broad daylight with the sun shining and there is no window reflections, shadows, etc. I have had friends who have HD service comment on what a nice picture and didn't believe when I told them I don't have HD service yet. I would highly recommend this product. |
Great TV for the price |

| If you are looking for the best value in a 32" LCD, I would highly recommend buying this TV. I compared several brands on price, features, picture quality, etc, and the Panasonic was a clear winner in this price range.
I had actually purchased a Vizio set, but returned it because the picture quality was poor on standard-def signal, and the features included in the set were not the same as what Vizio stated on their web-site. After shopping and comparing this Panasonic to similar priced models from Sony, Samsung, and Toshiba, I decided on the Panasonic, and I have not been disappointed. The picture quality is great for HD (as are most HD sets these days), but what sets this apart is the good picture quality on standard def TV. Also, the features were exactly what I was looking for, and at the advertised sale price was too good to pass up. So to sum it up, if you're looking for a good quality 32" LCD, I would definitely take a long look at this Panasonic model. |
Panasonic TC-32LX85 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV |

| Reviewer: Papa Al, |
| I bought this 32 inch 720 Panasonic LCD TV after buying the 26 inch 720 version for my bedroom. I wasn't sure that 720 would be as good as 1080. I've read that you don't need 1080 for these size screens and their right. Once you see HD you won't want to watch analog broadcast. The remote is large with easy to see numbers with the lights on. My only con would be that the remote has the same shape on both ends and in the dark it's easy to have it pointed in the wrong direction. |
Panasonic stands behind their product. |

| Great TV. Great picture.
After the set had been here for one week it quit working. Called the Panasonic telephone number in the owners manual. They called a repair shop and coordinated a time for them to come to my house. They were here in three days, kept the TV for two days and returned it in working condition. Good support and much appreciated. |
Best Picture for it's Size |

| This Panasonic 32-inch has the darkest black shades and fastest color transitions of any hdtv this size I've checked out before. What really makes this tv so great is it's receiver. It is able to find many of the digital cable channels that are not really part of my cable service, so it is like a bonus! It is 720p, but at 32-inch you won't find much difference in 1080p at this screen size. It works so well with this tv, and the color menus are able to let you adjust so much, and have your custom setup saved, if you switch to one of the preset ones. It is not affected by sunlight, and the built-in sound works so well I sometimes turn off my theatre sound system. For the money its a great buy and I'm considering a second one for another room. |
TC-32LX85 is Very Good |

| Bought this on Amazon several months ago now. It is my first LCD. I've owned Panasonic Plasma's for a few years. This set is great. Only complaint would be that blacks are not as good as on the Plasma's but over all very pleased. I have not seen any written reviews of this set yet and I would like to see some recommended settings. This was easy to set up. Very happy! |

| I bought three televisions in the last six months. And this television is much better than my 47 inch 1080p. And the Magnobox isn't very great. The picture blows away the competition and it cheaper. I would definitely recommend this television. Buy it. |
Great set |

| I'm very pleased with this LCD tv. The HD is crystal clear, the color options are endless and it looks and feels even bigger than the 32 inches that it is. I'm using antenna television and it might as well be direct TV or cable with how great it looks on this set. It's a beautiful set and the price can't be beat for this kind of quality. |
Bought for birthday present |

| I bought a Panasonic model 32LX70 from Amazon about a year ago and was so happy with it that my siblings and I bought this model for our father as a birthday present. He watches a lot of sports and likes it so much he told his sister-in-law and she also bought one from Amazon.
Greeat product, easy setup, outstanding quality for the money. |
Great little TV for second room |
| Review Date: October 2, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Jose Melgarejo, Pembroke Pines, FL |
| I like this TV so much that I went and order a second one! Colors are very accurate and viewing angles are really great. I calibrated the TV to the CNET suggested settings. I mounted this TV to the Peerless PA740 articulating arm mount. They go great together. Overall, between the TV and mount, I saved over $400 ordering from Amazon compared to local Circuit City or Best Buy. |
