Panasonic - 32" Class (31-1/2" Diag.) - LED - 720p - HDTV

I got this tv to put upstairs for the kids. I have connected an Apple TV to it and a DVD player through component video. The tv has a nice picture considering its price. I have two other Panasonic TVs, a 42" 720P Plasma and a 50" 1080P Plasma, both of which have a much better picture than this set but they were both way more expensive too. I stuck with the Panasonic name because they have all been very reliable so far (knock on wood)... Back to my review. Picture quality is really the most important issue with tv's and this one is very nice for its price. The Apple TV content looks great. Cable HD tv channels look great too and even the DVD player connected through component video (480p) looks very good. I do notice some pixelization and contrast is not as good as my plasmas, but overall as a secondary tv, this set is perfect and delivers great bang for the buck. That's why I gave it a rating of excellent. It was easy to set up and use and even found some channels that I can't get on my other tvs when I did the auto scan for channels (I don't have a converter box with my cable package. I just have the basic, basic cable, so my tv tuner finds the channels). The remote is of very good quality too. If you are looking for a 32" tv with a decent picture for cheap, I think this is the best one in its price range and you will not be dissapointed. If you are looking for a great picture for gaming, this is probably not the set for you... I also recommend going to Best Buy and checking it out in the store like I did. That really helped me to make my decision. I looked at a lot of tvs before making my purchase because I really wanted another plasma for better picture quality, but there are very few left and certainly no smaller ones anywhere near this price range anymore... Funny to me that I consider 32" a smaller tv these days...... I remember when my dad got a 25" Zenith console tv for the family room and we thought it was huge!

Ended up returning this TV. The colors , flesh tones all took on a neon bright texture like everyone was under a spot light. The blacks were actually too dark, too black despite turning up the brightness and playing with other settings. Nothing helped it. Details on dark clothes, dark hair, dark backgrounds were crushed, hard to make out or see. On a few channels, the picture was good, but on most, the colors were outlandishly vivid no matter what setting I chose and no matter what adjustments I made. Just didn't look natural to me. Panasonic is a good name, but I would pass on this TV. Look at it in the store before buying. I thought it was just the store settings that were way off and once I adjusted it at home, it would be great, but not so. There are better options out there in this price range. I have a 29 inch 720p LED in another brand that looks a lot better so like I said, shop around.. Kudos to Best Buy though. I saved all the packaging, neatly repacked it and it was an easy return. I will buy a TV from them again.

I was looking for a TV for the bedroom. This TV meet my needs. I have it set up with DVD (HDMI), Digital Cable box (HDMI), RoKu (Composite), Digital Antenna. One of the items I was looking for is that the USB slot has enough space to allow the use of a SD to USB card reader, in some other models there was not enough room due to other inputs. The TV has a 3 hour no activity timer that performs shut down after I fall asleep. It also has a sleep timer function but it is limited to 90 minutes, since most movies on TV last 2 hours of broadcast time I do not use the sleep timer. This TV has no WiFi, I use the WiFi of the individual attached input devices. I am using my cable remote as the control for my devices so I can not review the unit's remote control. I like the Digital Receiver function (as a fallback) since I have been without cable for several weeks after a hurricane.

This TV does everything a $199 TV should do. Good picture and sound, easy setup. Good TV for a bedroom. My only issue with the TV is the stand. I bought the TV partially as I liked the stylish stand. Turns out the photos are wrong. The stand on this TV is just the everyday center mounted stand. I called the store and asked them to check their stock and they said they are all that way. It appears there is a 39 inch model of this TV that does have the stand shown but not the 32. See photo for actual stand on this TV. Still a very good TV for price.

The TV would cut off for no apparent reason. After 3 weeks it would not turn on at all. Best Buy refused any help. Stating I did not purchese Geek Squad services. I spent over 2 weeks dealing with Panasonic customer service. The first repair company they referred me to apparently does not exist. Yet after telling them this they still kept referring back to them. Finally they referred me to another authorized repair center 2.5 hours away. Stating this was the only resolution they offered. I will never buy Panasonic ever again. Nor will I deal with Best Buy again. I should not have to pay extra for the company I purchase a product from. To assist me 3 weeks later.

My primary TV in the living room is a Panasonic plasma, so I knew they make quality tv's. What I was looking for though, was a tv that I could plug straight into the cable wire from the wall and skip the cable box since it was going in my son's room. As you may know, many of the bargain tv's really need a cable box to have a quality picture with this setup. Not the case with this one. Great picture without a box! I wanted to mention that because reviews with no cable box are hard to find. Rest assured , if you don't like paying for cable boxes in every room of your house, you can still have a quality picture with this one. Just another great product at a great price. Highly recommended for a basic bedroom tv.

I bought the 32 inch panasonic at Best Buy on 03AUG 2014. Today 29OCT 2014 - without warning - it stopped working. Power switch blinks on and off. no picture., no sound. I called Panasonic and they routed me to the nearest repair shop which is located in Pompano Beach. open 9-6 mon-fri. I asked if they had another shop since there was no way that I was going to go to Pompano and pay whatever it costs to get this thing fixed. They told me about one in West Palm Beach. IF you buy a Panasonic buy the longest insurance plan that you can afford. WHEN the unit breaks, you can bring the tv to the place in Miami-Dade where you bought it - and not to Broward County - and most important, you can get another TV set. Personally I will never ever ever buy another Panasonic TV.

This is a great top brand tv I purchased over the weekend for (2 days back) $199.99. We have purchased many Panasonic items in the past and they have all worked well. This TV does not have a PC port. The salesman at Bestbuy said that the HDMI port on my computer could be connected with the hdmi port on TV and thus can be used as a PC monitor too. Well, it does work as a pc monitor too but the sides get cut off, and therefore no access to the scroll bar. But this can be overcome by using the keyboard arrow keys or the scroll bar on the mouse, to get the page up or down.
