Panasonic TC-32LX60 Review

by Greg Adler

- The Panasonic TC-32LX60 is an attractive LCD HDTV. Its stylish black-and-silver frame and swiveling stand distinguish it from more generic designs, and its good combination of ports, image quality, and price ($1200 as of 12/8/06) make it a good buy, overall.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Nice Picture and sound, Powerful Built in tuner, Remote can operate DVD,VCR as well, beautiful look and finish. It does best what it's equipped to do.

Weaknesses: It doesn't have some nice to have features. No Clock, No Freeze picture function, No PIP, No PC input.

Overall Evaluation: I was looking for a good 32" TV for last one month. My search zeroed in on this beautiful TC-32LX60 model based on it's reasonable pricing and overall performance. There are so many options available at 32" size in LCD market. At first I bought Sceptre from COSTCO but returned it within a month as I continued to look for a good brand TV. My final shortlist included Samsung S3251D, panasonic and Sony 32s2010 with panasonic being the cheapest among these. I looked at these sets in CC, Fry's and BB and picture quality seemed comparable to me. Reviews on various websites suggested that sound quality is definetely better on panasonic. I ordered it online and got it below $900. After having it for a week I feel, I made the right choice. SD pictures are great. It's definately better than my old Sanyo CRT. HDTV is excellent. Colors are very natural. So many setting options to customize. I am watching DVD movies on it via OPPO 970 upconverting player. I could not be more happier with the combination of 32lx60 and OPPO. Manual operation on TV set is conveniently located on top for easy operation. The swivel stand is a nice useful feature. Design of the set is better than most of the other 32" sets. My only gripe with the set is lack of PC input. Overall this set is worth the money you spend. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for 32" LCD.
