User Reviews for Panasonic TC-32LX20 32

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Very nice picture quality and sleek design. Comes with SD card reader in addition to PCMCIA Type II slot for a generic PC Card reader

    Weaknesses: A little heavier than similar sized models, no direct PC video input

    Overall Evaluation: I have been using TC-32LX20 for about a week now. No issues so far. I purchased the unit from a local Coscto Store for $1800.00, after a 10% discount. It was the last one and was a display unit. I ordered HD Programming from DishNetwork after purchasing this TV and am able to watch the HD channels now. The picture quality is perfect with true HD brodcast shows. Also very nice quality with DVD player. Regular (non-HD) programming is also acceptable quality. I didnt try SD card playback feature yet. I dont have a SD card. I have several Sony Memory Sticks, so I ordered a all-in-one PCMCIA PC Card for them. I will update this review when I receive the PC Card and try out the still picture display quality of Panasonic TC-32LX20.(July 02)It is more then 2 months now and I am quite happy with this LCD. No problems, and I am still impressed with picture quality of channels like HDNet, HDDiscovery, HDMovie. Regarding the still picture viewing, I received a SanDisk 6-in-1 reader and this works nicely with the Panasonic LCD. No configuration or compatibility problem. You can browse, view, focus (x2, x4) into still pictures. One thing I noticed is, switching from one picture to another is a little slower than it should be. It takes up to 4-5 seconds for the next picture to load after you press the remote button. Looks like there is a relatively slow jpeg decoder in there.
