5 out of 5 stars What a picture!!!   August 28, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've had this TV a couple of weeks know, and i'm really impressed!!

It is so so easy to set up... I plugged the Scart cable straight in the back from my cable box and it worked fine! I'm not sure how easy the freeview is the set up, but this TV is really user friendly so i'm sure it will not be a problem!

As the title implies, the picture quality is really good, and so is the sound. I plugged in a HD input, and was really impressed, but why don't the manufactures supply you with the cable? i had to buy it separately... tip buy it from Amazon a lot cheaper than the high street..

The only problem with this TV is that my wife has to dust it more often!



5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fantastic TV   August 15, 2008
 10 out of 10 found this review helpful

I will not beat around the bush and talk in all the techno-babble that you see in some reviews. All I will say is that the picture on this set it stunning! The sound is great to, I have cable TV running through it, as well as Freeview and I have no complaints whatsoever. The kids love hooking up the Nintendo Wii to it as well, and there are still loads of connections available. I bought this TV after seeing one review of it in a magazine, and I'm glad I did. If you want a TV that looks and sounds great, then look no further. I bought it when it was 779, but I see that it has since been reduced. What a bargain! Go on, buy one, you know you want to!!


5 out of 5 stars It's all about the picture quality   June 10, 2008

Is it just me, or is the main selling point of most LCD TVs that they look fantastic when they're switched off? Switch em on, and unless you're running a HD source, they look awful: hideous pixellation, unnatural colours, blurred motion, etc. Not that that has stopped the vast majority of people squandering their disposable income on one. In the UK, keeping up with the Joneses - in fact, outdoing the Joneses by buying the biggest screen you can afford, even if it dwarfs everything else in your living room, has become a national sport.
I begrudgingly had to join the LCD fold a few weeks ago when my trusty old Toshiba CRT packed up after about 18 years of loyal service. I made sure I shopped around, read reviews, listened to advice from experts in shops, and viewed a fair few models - mainly Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, and Pioneer. Without a doubt, this Panasonic was in a field of its own when it came to picture quality. And when it comes down to it, isn't that what makes a good TV? OK, Panasonic may not be the sexiest badge, and maybe some other sets do look a bit nicer when they're switched off, but who cares?
My set is hooked up to a non-HD signal, but even so, the picture quality is comparable to a good CRT set - in some respects it's better, actually. Fast-moving images are totally blur- and flicker-free (that'll be the 100Hz, I guess); whites are Persil-white, and blacks are like Hotblack Desiato's ship in Hitchiker's Guide - really, really black, man.
I'll be honest, there are a couple of minor annoyances: the remote control doesn't always work brilliantly if it's more than 8ft from the set; the remote control layout takes a good couple of weeks to get used to; and whoever worked on the layout and the wording in the instruction manual wants shooting. Luckily you won't need to refer to the manual more than once, as the on-screen menus are straightforward and the initial setup is a doddle.
These few minor annoyances don't detract at all from the satisfaction I get every time I switch the TV on and admire the picture quality.
If you're looking for a TV that gives great picture, you can stop looking. If you're more concerned about having one that turns heads when it's switched off, go ahead and buy a 50" Samsung, cram it into your living room - get rid of a sofa if necessary - and then invite your friends round to stand and watch. Just don't be surprised if they look pityingly at you when you actually turn the set on.



5 out of 5 stars Great piece of kit   May 25, 2008
 61 out of 62 found this review helpful

Having bought this screen just over a week ago, with the minimum of reviews available, i must say that i'm extremely impressed with it.

Setup was simple but with enough adjustments to keep your average videophile amused, if only for a short while. There are some very slight issues with "whiting" in corners (from backlight) when displaying completely black screen.....pretty marginal though and not distracting.

SD TV performance is fine when viewed beyond a distance of 6' or so. DVB tuner is simple to navigate with the option of using a top-up TV card for extra channels.

Sound seems ok but for the most part i'm running external a/v sources through a 5.1 system. The internal BBE Viva system seems perfectly adequate for TV purposes and has several settings for music/speech etc with a decent amount of "ooomph".

Colours are rich and vivid and blacks are the deepest i've seen on an LCD screen. Fast moving images are extremely smooth and Panasonic's 100hz Motion Picture Pro 2 + V-Real 3 tech appears to work a treat.

My current highest-def input is my Xbox 360 @ 1080i via component video and the upgrade from my old system (Sanyo PLV-Z4 projector @ 720p) is quite startling. Vivid and even Normal picture presets are so vastly more defined, clear and smooth that i'm quite happy running it in Cinema or even Eco mode for the time being.

Comparing this set to friend's HD Ready screens is a happy experience and i honestly believe that this is probably the best 32' LCD screen currently on the market. You pay a premium for kit like this but it's certainly money well spent!

Can't wait to get the full HD experience from Blu-Ray @ 1080p/24p.



5 out of 5 stars It's good   May 24, 2008

I cannot fault this TV. Picture and sound are both great. Pretty versatile in that it has all the inputs and output I require. It looks nice too.

My only complaint is with Amazon choosing City Link to deliver the item. Without instruction/permission City Link left my new TV with at a house over the road with a bloke I have never met. City Link did not even ask him for a signature.

I recommend unless you know and trust your neighbours you opt for Super delivery or first class or whatever its called - anything that will require a signature and a specified delivery date.
