I bought this to replace my LG-26lc2r lcd tv.
What can i say...its a mint t.v. Freeview is top quality. Newer programmes look great.
Sky looks great thru scart. A little bit better than freeview.
PS3 via HDMI....MINT....Amazing. And its full screen. No overscan or cut off.
Xbox 360 thru component....just as good. Transformers on hd-dvd looks and sounds amazing.
Sound....for a tv this is great. I'm sure this is some of the best quality sound i've heard from a tv. Mint.
Overall.....Really chuffed with this tv.....highly recommended.

Only 4 stars as there are better LCD units out there (full HD, 100hz etc), but for the price this unit is excellent. I have it in our bedroom and it looks stunning and provides excellent picture quality,even though the unit is not full HD. The SD and freeview pictures are clear and the colours good. Very easy to set up, the plug and play set up system is great. Looks very stylish and the remote is functional if a bit bland. All round an excellent purchase fot the money, as I stated earlier there are better units out there, but not for this price.
Also I ordered at 1pm on a Thursday and it arrived at 8.30am the next day (express delivery). Outstanding service from Amazon and the Courier. Well done.

I recently spent days, no weeks researching lcd tvs and eventually decided on this little beauty.....
The setup of the tele was simple to say the least, out of the box and watching tele in ten minutes. The digital receiver built into the tv is very good indeed found all channels no worries. It also has a ci (common
interface) slot for pay tv.
Picture is very good with sd signal and outstanding with hd content...I have not encountered any screen blurr as of yet which i know plagues alot of lcd tvs due to fast moving images. I was advised to get this model in the end instead of the 100htz model lxd70 because you are not able to turn the 100htz on and off on that model. This can be detrimentle to the picture quality some times believe it or not, as i have witnessed with my own eyes at my uncles house.
Connectivity is good with 2 hdmi slot, 2 scarts, 1 component,1 pc(15pin dsub), s-video,video (rca pin) and 2 x audio l-r.
sound quality is good and plenty loud enough for me, offers all the usual settings.ie bass, treble,5.1 surround mode (with external speakers),virtual surround.
The build quality is second to none and looks very handsome either turned on or off.
I didnt buy mine at amazon but often buy regually from them, i actually got mine from richer sounds for 400.00 + 40.00 for the 5 year panel protection. I also bought the Panasonic dmr-ez27eb dvd recorder for 149.99 hence the tv only being 400.00. The viera link between the two devices works well and reduces the need for the dvd remote as both can be operated by the tele remote.
All in all a great tv im actually more impressed with it than i thought i would be especially the space saved.

Well - not wanting to spend a fortune on replacing our 5-year old Philip's TV I thought I'd check out "Which?" magazine and some on-line reviews. There's little contest - this set is clearly the best value buy at present (at Mar 08). The next model up, the LXD, is over 100 more and if money's no object it does offer a touch less "ghosting", i.e. the very slight shimmering of pixels next to moving objects. The fact is that this set creates very little shimmering indeed. I go along fully with the professional reviewers on this: it's truly a top-notch and well-designed set that performs brilliantly and looks absolutely gorgeous.
Great TV - Never mind the HD capability February 4, 2008

Having seen this model and the tx-32lxd700 side by side in an electronics shop I can honestly say that there is no difference in picture quality when viewing a SD terrestrial signal. The cost saving against the higher spec panasonic models is tremendous considering the equal performance.
In addition to this the Vieras seem to be able to handle the translation of the SD signal very well, if not the best of all makes of LCD screens, up to the larger image size.
`
I haven't tested the television with a HD source, but as these are expensive and limited in content it's something that is just nice to be able to handle in the future for me.
There is an issue with live sports and the like when watched using a SD signal, however it's no different to the lack of image quality i used to get on the 14" crt tv, it's just bigger because the screen is bigger. I suspect that this is more an issue with the signal quality with which the events are broadcast due to being live. Anything that isn't live broadcast has a great picture quality even with a SD signal.
Another point to note is the built in EPG, text services and subtitles all work incredibly quickly. I'm used to waiting in excess of 60 seconds for the interactive services to load with virgin media, the inbuilt digibox however reacts almost instantly to those requests.
I purchased this tv to have a large tv. the HD capability is good for making it future proof and usable when i have more money and there's more service available. if that's what you're after then this is probably one of the best tvs you can buy for that purpose. it's easy to use and does the job well with capability for HD when you're ready. By all accounts it's good for HD use as well, although it doesn't handle the 1080p definition. However if you know what this means you probably won't have got this far through the review.
HD TVs are easy to give bad reviews if people expect a better image quality through the same aerial they have always used. Having a HD TV doesn't give you a better image, it just works well enough so you can see the flaws that have always been there.
