I expected a good product from Panasonic, but it was even better. Sound problem, the other guests did not like, must be correct, because I found the volume to be perfect. AI has been reset to default, because I have changed, and I have a faint sound of that. Of course I got back.
I use it in the bedroom, where the term 19 "CRT and the difference was incredible. Angle for this incredible television.
One of the functions Iinsisted on a timer, because it's my alarm clock. This child has 5 programmable timer. These timers also respond to at least one of the evaluators minor complaint. Sure, the timer is only 30, 60 and 90 settings, but if you have one of the other timers, and only one sentence from the time when you sleep forever, for one minute.
To summarize:
Pro-Great picture, flexible timers, a universal set.
Cons-nothing found.
You set this 6ave ElectronicsAmazon. Great, super fast service and well packaged. Amazon adds favorites.

Motion Focus Technology
Even fast-moving scenes are displayed sharply and clearly. With a 60Hz video signal input, 120Hz Motion Picture Pro 3 makes 120 frames/sec from 60 frames/sec. This increases the frame count to allow natural frame-to-frame transitions, for smooth motion images with high resolution. VIERA also uses motion focus technology that greatly enhances resolution.

Wide Viewing Angle
The wide 178 viewing angle ensures clear images even when viewed from an angle. The backlight’s wide transmission aperture enhances the contrast between light and dark, and improves motion-image response.

VIERA Image Viewer
It’s easy to view full-HD images with the SD card slot. Watch and show your photos right after you take them. Simply insert an SD card into VIERA to display photos on the large screen.

You can also choose from among 3 types of background music and 4 display effects. It’s much more fun when you can view them on a large-screen HDTV with family and friends in 1920 x 1080-pixel high definition and a wide 16:9 aspect ratio.

Fine Black Panel
Panel reflections have been reduced to half those of conventional panels, to sharpen images and reduce glare. This also helps to unify the panel design with that of the VIERA lineup.

VIERA Link
VIERA Link allows interconnected operation of various AV devices using only the VIERA remote control, by simply connecting the devices to each other by an HDMI cable.

VIERA Tools
With the new VIERA Tools user interface, simply press a button on the remote control and icons such as the photos or movies from the menu screen appear. Now you can just select the one you want. This kind of easy operation means you have more fun and less hassle.

Game Mode
In Game mode, quicker image response increases the enjoyment of video games when a game console is connected to the TV. What’s more VIERA produces the dark images in video games more clearly. This mode works anti-image retention (wobbling) too.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Customer Reviews
Great TV for the Den or Bedroom – Michael A. Shields – Saratoga, CA USA
I bought it for a day "for sale on Amazon and used it for about 3 weeks. I am very impressed and pleased with the properties of the image file.
Another feature that was not considered for the purchase of an SD card slot for viewing photos. Makes my holiday photos look great!
Even when I connected through my receiver, I discovered that the volume integrated a bit 'of a room (12' x 12 ') is
I chose 1080pResolution as an old post, but I'm not going to switch to Blu-ray soon.
Overall, the prize money less than $ 400.

Great TV for the right price! – Mena Reid – USA
I like this picture of television is amazing, this is definitely one of the best television I've ever heard, I am considering one for my father. The price is great and I have a TV just 2 days after receiving the order. Size TV is perfect for bedrooms, seems to be even higher than 32 inches in other models that I have ever seen. I recommend this set.

Way better than expected. – J. Huang –
Pros: Everything you say all the others.

CONS: not buy any 2 for $ 380

Simply amazing 32-inch TV. Buy.

Great Value and Picture in a 1080P 32″ LCD TV – John C. Hitchen – Berkeley, CA USA
I'm glad I waited many years to get a larger LCD TV, because prices have fallen so much in recent years. Brand big screen has started to fall below $ 600, it was difficult to determine for themselves, to determine the size of a computer screen. I have a couple of hours on the internet and exhibition space for research and decided the price of Sony and to stay for reasons of reliability and had to be some other brands, LG, Samsung and Toshiba to choose from. Price points are very similar, with Samsung and LGupper side. Panasonic is generally considered a reliable and easy-to-TV, which is what I wanted to use. Many visitors say that many non-technical users do not need 1080p, but I bought the 720p version and the efforts to return. At the price I paid for that TV, I'm quite happy, and it is as simple as the TV that I use every hearing. Some customers complain about the speakers, but I found that they are perfectly suited for my my needs.SoThe recommendation is to go with Panasonic!
