This one's a gem

I'm really impressed - I looked at so many TVs but kept coming back to this one --boy, am I glad I did. It's a keeper - gorgeous picture, strong tuner, excellent sound, easy to use remote control, lots of ports, works nicely with my panasonic DVD-recorder through the viera link. I am delighted with it. I was concerned that the 32 inch model might be a little too big for the space I had, so I got the 26 and I think I made the right choice. Read more
Not bad

No earphone input possible - a great disadvantage for late-night viewing. Some programs and dvds have a distorted image - wide and squashed, quite disagreeable. I like the HD clarity on programs that run on HD. I have to reset from HD1 to TV after every dvd use - a nuisance. Read more

Bought this TV about 10days ago. Found it easy to set up and use. It was between this and the Sony 26" Bravia since both have 178degree view angles. The Sony looks like a PC Monitor. I'm sure the Sony's good and there were no reviews on this Panasonic but I took a chance and I glad I did. I would highly recommend this TV to family and friends. Read more

Unpacked and pluged in tiny OTA HD antena for test purposes (bought for a friend) and was really impressed. "Men in Black" HD happened to be on and I watched it again. ATSC tuner seemed at least as sensitve as my real home set up. I want one for myself but don't need it. Read more
- Packed great. Easy setup with channel scanning options. Great HD picture from over the air. Speakers darn good for built ins. No dead pixels apparent.
- No DVI. Not a big whoop if you know this.
"Excellent LCD TV for a bedroom or small living room"

We bought this to replace a bedroom TV that finally died. We paid $508 from newegg and got it in 2 days with standard delivery. It took only 5 minutes to set up. The autoprogram took about 10 minutes to search through the cable channels but it accurately programmed them all with no effort on my part. Its a big improvement over our old 20 inch TV, but the image quality compares favorably to our 52 inch Sharp Aquos LCD. Read more
- Bright sharp image. Good sound. Easy setup. Good price.
- Can't think of any.
A really nice television for the price..

How do I get the TV, when turned on, to stay on Channel 3 when operating thru the cable remote. Now I need to use two remotes to get the set turned on to a tv station. First I have to use the Panasonic remote to turn the set on to Channel 8 but then must use the cable remote and push channel 3 to get a tv picture. Why doesn't the TV set stay on channel 3 when turned on and off. Has me crazy. Read more

Almost perfect TV

Beautiful TV. Great picture from any angle, horizontal or vertical. Only wish it had a swivel base. Only complaint is changing the picture settings. At night, I use the Cinema setting which reduces brightness. But during the day when it is brighter, I need to change the setting to Standard for a brighter picture. You have to click through a few menus to do this. It would be nice to have a auto adjust feature. Read more

I use this in my kitchen. Great picture from all angles. Good sound also. I was a little nervous about buying a fragile TV online, but it was packed well and had no problems. Read more

Even though there's a menu for adjusting Bass and Treble it could still use more depth in quality of sound. I like the Remote very much with large easy to read buttons. It would be nice if the manual were in color since it would bode for easier understanding. Picture quality is good. Read more
