CHEAP Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-P42X1 42-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV

I waited 10.5 months to offer as accurate a review as I can. This is the first HD TV that I purchased and am I gald I did. Before I made my purchase on Amazon last July, I read as much as I can from Consumer Reports to CNET to random internet blogs and of course Amazon feedbacks. Because I had a limited budget I wanted the most for my buck, so I went to Plasma instead of LCD last year. I wanted a reliable TV and go with a reputable manufacturer that has been in the TV business, that helped me eliminate Vizio, Samsung, LG etc. br /br /The HD quality is great. I purchased a HDMI cord from Amazon instead of wasting my money on a version at the local retailer. I love the rectangular stand on this set. My parents have the older version with 2 perpendicular “feet.” This is much better looking and even a little easier to install. The remote is easy to use, although I rarely use it since everything is available on the cable box remote. br /br /Although this TV only has 2 HDMI inputs, you can solve that by using the 4-5 HDMI inputs that a receiver has. br /br /I do have 1 complaint that kept me from giving this set a 5-Star rating: Glare. This is extremely noticeable at my last house where I placed this set in the corner and hence, it was positioned 45 degrees towards my windows. Bad decision, but that was the way my living room was designed. With my current house, I have the TV against a wall and the problem is 90% solved. But this can be a big distraction. br /br /Overall, it is a reliable, beautiful, quality HD TV at an affordable price.

CHEAP Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ80U 46-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV

[...]br /br /I originally bought the TH-50PZ80U 50-Inch model but 3 days after I got it mounted on my wall I heard a loud pop sound, the picture went black and the red light started flashing a code on the front. Plasma TVs consume a huge amount of power – I think the 50 inch was running around 750 Watts. I did some research and discovered that the power supplies and internal power switching are extremely sensitive to power fluxuations. I had a surge protector in place, but that was not enough to save it. Ya need something like a Monster A/V Power Center / Filter (MP PRO 3500) or I just bought an industrial APC power filter rated for 800 Watts and only plugged my TV into it. I recommend this model: “APC BR1500LCD 1500VA 865 Watts 8 Outlets BACK-UPS” and make sure you plug your TV into the plug that says “surge battery backup” and not “surge only” – ya gotta have a filter to give a clean 60hz 110VAC out to your TV because your power from the power company is “dirty” and that can damage your TV.br /br /[...].br /br /[...].br /br /[...]. br /br /[...].br /

Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ80U 46-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV Feature
Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ80U 46-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV Overview
Panasonic TC-L32X2 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV with iPod Dock
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on June 13, 2010
CHEAP Panasonic TC-L32X2 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV with iPod Dock

After 18 years with a 25″ RCA tube TV, I finally stepped up to HD. After watching (and complaining) for three months about the inconsistent picture quality of a previous HDTV purchase (Sylvania TV/DVD combo), it’s a real pleasure to watch a quality TV with correct color and black levels that aren’t overwhelming.
Great picture out of the box, even from extreme angles; so far I’ve only upped the brightness. When I get some time, I’ll use “Video Essentials” to set everything correctly. My wife claimed that the previous TV looked fine to her; after two days with this TV she commented that the picture was really clear. She was watching “Sex and the City” on Showtime HD and said it was so clear that she could see all the details in one of Carrie’s jackets, when before she thought it was all black. She also commented on the detail in A Bug’s Life on DVD.
For me the test was Breaking Bad on AMCHD, and although the show’s palette tends toward dark and greenish, it’s far better than the Sylvania I replaced. After having watched an episode of Cougar Town, however, I’m beginning to believe that broadcast TV is a crapshoot in terms of proper color balance. DVDs are far more consistent. Speaking of which, I want to revisit a lot of my favorite movies now that I can watch them on a bigger, wider, clearer screen than I’ve ever had before.
My wife absolutely loves the iPod dock and the ability to control the iPod with the TV remote; I’d love it if my album artwork showed up on the screen. Sound levels from the built-in speakers seem anemic, but since this TV will eventually go into the bedroom, I’ll live with it. That brings me to my one major beef about the set: Although it has three HDMI inputs and various other component/composite inputs, it has no external RCA output (only optical and Viera Link, whatever that is), so I can’t hook it up to either my non-optical receiver or my wireless headphone transmitter.
Overall, though, I’m very happy with this purchase, and will definitely consider a Panasonic Viera for our next (bigger, higher-resolution) HDTV. What blows my mind is that this TV cost about the same as my 25″ RCA did back in 1992. For what it’s worth, I took the RCA to Goodwill; as far as I know it’s still alive and kicking.
Offering excellent picture performance, Panasonic’s 32-inch VIERA TC-L32X2 LCD HDTV provides 720p high-definition imagery and includes a Universal Dock for Apple iPod, which enables you to control and play music and video directly from your iPod or iPhone through your VIERA HDTV.

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.

CHEAP Panasonic VIERA C12 Series TC-L32C12 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

The Panasonic TV I ordered was out of stock, so I was upgraded to the newer model 2009 Panasonic TCL32X1. This was a Xmas present for The Girlfriend. First experience with HD. Very lightweight TV and perfect for the right space: since viewing distance in this case is only about 10 feet, the 720p screen was fine with no real need for getting a 1080p set. The instructions were clear and it was pretty easy to set up. Very cool feature: the iPod dock, which allows you to park your iPod, see your playlist on the screen and play you music through the television set. For the money, this seems to be a terrific TV.

CHEAP Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-L32S1 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

I started out on my venture to purchase a new gaming TV (mainly for my PS3). My old set was a 27″ Samsung CRT that had some really bad coloring and geometry issues. I finally got fed up and decided to start looking around for a 1080p LCD that would fit into my existing entertainment cabinet. After reading a bunch of reviews online, I discovered this horrible affliction that all LCD TVs experience – Input Lag. Generally, if a TV has a good/great picture (Sony and Samsung), it has more input lag. If you want a TV with low input lag, the picture won’t be as good. As mainly a gaming TV, I decided to try to find a TV set with great input lag numbers with a good picture. After hearing how well previous Panasonic models were for gaming, I decided to get this TV.
Well, I couldn’t be more satisfied with my purchase! Not only is the input lag very low but the picture quality is quite good. The colors are very good, but the blacks aren’t as good as a Samsung or Sony. Mind you, I haven’t had much time to go diving into the color/service menus to fine tune the display. Also, I cannot rate how well it handles SD signals as everything I’ve used it for have been 1080i/p native. Yes, the sound volume from the TV is pretty bad, as most reviewers have mentioned. But this is a non-issue if you have a receiver to hook it up to.
PROs
Excellent input lag
Good picture quality
Great price (Thanks Amazon!)
Great input select menu (press input and then hit 1-8 to immediately go to the input you want)
Very attractive design with a non-gloss screen
Lots of input options including 3 HDMI
CONs
Weak speakers
Only 1 component input*
*I had my PS2 and TiVo HD hooked up through component on my old TV. On this TV I had to go buy another HDMI cable just to have them both hooked up at the same time.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with this TV. If you are reading this and are looking for a great 32″ gaming TV, do not hesitate to buy this TV!

CHEAP Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-P42S1 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV

I couldn’t decide between a plasma and an LCD, so I bought both (with the intention of returning one) and set them up side by side, my cable hookup going to both. The plasma was a Panasonic TC-P42S1, the LCD was a Samsung LN40B630. I did my comparison channel-by-channel with lots of different programming, ranging from talk shows to cartoons to action movies to football games, in both high def and standard def.
Both are very good 40-42 inch TVs, in my opinion. Once I had adjusted the settings to my liking, I was hard-pressed to say that one looked notably better or worse than the other, though each had its strengths and weaknesses.
The Panasonic plasma had slightly more vibrant colors than the Samsung LCD. Blacks were noticably blacker and dark blues and purples looked deeper. The off-angle viewing was fantastic on the plasma, too. With the LCD, a smidge of color was lost when you shifted from 0 to 45 degrees. From deeper side angles, the picture was still watchable, but definitely shifted towards gray.
However, the Samsung LCD had a brighter, crisper image. In a dark room, details stood out better, and any programming that wasn’t dark looked a little sharper. During the day, with the sun shining in, the LCD’s image held up a bit better, too.
Motion is supposedly better on plasmas, but I couldn’t really tell when comparing to a 120Hz LCD. Both TVs did equally well with typical television, and what blurs I saw seemed to be in the source material. I watched a football game for a while, but if the plasma gave a better viewing experience, it wasn’t terribly obvious to me. Then again, I’m not a big sports fan, so maybe my eye isn’t discerning enough.
Color accuracy seemed great on both TVs, but the Panasonic needed some adjusting to get there. The picture is too green with the default settings.
Both TVs did a near-equal job with standard def programming (aside from the differences above).
Sound: adequate on both. I have a surround-sound system, so I didn’t really care.
Hardware failures: I’ve read complaints about both brands — seems like it’s a roll of the dice either way. I went with a 4 year warranty.
Other stuff: the Samsung had a better remote, a nicer menu system, and more fine adjustments available. I also like the swivel stand and the fact it’s a lot lighter than the Panasonic. I didn’t try the internet features on either TV.
Overall, both are very good TVs, and all but the most picky videophiles would be happy with either. In 2009, both plasma and LCD have come a long way and which technology is “better” really boils down to your wallet, viewing conditions, and personal preference. It was a tough choice for me, but, in the end, the bright, crisp picture of the Samsung won out. I can live with marginally less vibrant colors, weaker blacks, and imperfect off-angle viewing (if I watch from the other room, I’ll swivel the screen).

CHEAP Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L26X1 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

We spent weeks checking reviews, checking out actual sets in various stores and finally decided on a Panasonic, despite other brands (Sony and Sharp) being maybe to cheaper for this size (or close to it) during Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
I took friends and had them say what they liked best, without telling them what we liked. Three of the three people who traipsed thru stores picked the panasonic over the sony, sharp and toshiba models that were everywhere. It’s all about what you see and it’s always gonna be a crap shoot because as everyone will tell you, what you see in the store may not be the same as what you see at home, depending on cable provider/type of input, setup options, etc.
Ironically, everyone selling Panasonic has raised their prices in last week or two. (You could get the 32 inch for 9 or lower. THen it went back up to over 0. The 26 inch had reached a low of around 9 but then went back up to 0 and over for some merchants, with 9 being the lowest that we found, from Amazon.)
We had been considering a Hannspree 28 at 9, but not only could we not see it, the day we went to order, it was sold out everywhere. THat was the day when we looked at our old set and said: Enough already. 11 year-old Sharp had served us well (old CRT) but seriously, time to enter the LCD world. We could barely see the onscreen cable guide. It wasn’t easy to bite the bullet when we needed a smaller set and the 32-inch models were so cheap. (But we have no room in our bedroom and it would have been a huge (no pun) mistake to get a 32 inch as we only have about 8 feet tops from the cabinet and our bed. And that’s the ONLY place we could place it. Heck, this unit would be big in our living room. (City living but we actually have “large” rooms, they are just not wide rooms and that’s where you get limits.)
The box did indeed have some bumps, etc on it and it made us a bit nervous that the Fed Ex guy did not have it on the cart the right way up (Why does no one look at the arrows on the boxes?)
But it seems to be intact.
Frankly, the interior packaging was worrisome. THese manufacturers don’t seem to believe in any real padding or protection for these very delicate screens. I get junk stuff that costs nothing with more secure interior packing materials and real padding than this TV. (Panasonic: Pay attention!)
The trickiest part of assembly was the small screws that held the stand in place. It would have helped to have had a magnetized screwdriver because it took us a while to get each one in the proper way.
As others have noted, it’s a very bare bones info for setup and we had it up and running in like 10 minutes (it took longer to move stuff to get at the back of our old TV and our TW cable box to unplug old set and its cable.)
Here’s the best part for us, as Time Warner-dependent folks: The pix quality with just the regular cable input on back (and three component in connections) is fantastic. Which makes us wonder how astounding the HDMI will be (We would need a new box and we’ve heard about lots of problems with all of the HDMI-equipped boxes that Time Warner uses, which are all Scientific Atlanta (now Cisco?). Tons of online forums filled with complaints.)
We were concerned that pix quality would be compromised without another box. Now, we can wait. (And we’ll see how HDMI works by connecting our new Sony laptop to the HDMI connection on the set.) We really don’t want to mess with another box as we have lots of other stuff attached, including Slingbox.
Setup was fast. The options are relatively limited, but really, how much do you need if the pix looks good?
The onscreen setup is fairly intuitive (if you’ve ever used a cable company remote), so you can access features easily.
The two things we loved about this model were the iPod dock (for select iPods, nanos, touch and phones–don’t waste your time calling the Apple stores. THey can’t tell you which units work. They refer you to Panasonic.) because we have friends who have lots of stuff on their units and this is a quick way to share (video, photos). We haven’t tested that yet.
The other feature is the easily accessed on left side SD card. We love this, especially for friends and family who want to share photos. Very quick and easy. Small lag time between accessing photos (their is a slideshow feature).
A word of caution: We don’t know if it’s just our unit, or all of them, but you have to be very careful taking the SD card out. It seems to stick and you have to try the in/out bit a few times and then gently pull it out. (This has never happened on our computer or our camera, so…)
My only gripes, as it is about all these models: Speakers should be upfront, not underneath, but sound quality is still more than OK. (We’re not looking for theater quality in this size room.) And the bases should turn.
The other thing is this whole shiny black cabinet. HATE that quite frankly and it does pick up glare due to the windows and lights we have in the apartment.
But the viewing angles are good enough that we can watch the TV from the bathroom about 12 feet away and it’s not all that bad in terms of color or “depth.”
The DVDs (regular, not blue ray) we’ve played so far look outstanding. (Almost as great as they do on our Toshiba laptops, which have exceptional resolution. We often watch on the fly while traveling.)
One last thing: We could not mount this on a wall so it’s on a stand that raises it so its now about 46 inches off the floor, which is maybe a foot or more higher than our bed. So we can’t vouch for how it looks when you look “up” as you do with a wall mount.
All in all, we’re pretty satisfied. Now, let’s hope for some long-term reliability and several years of use out of this. (We’re spoiled. We had Sony and Sharp units, big ones, over the years that each lasted over a decade. We had smaller models that lasted 15+ years! We’re not big on buying just to have New New New.) Only time will tell.
FYI: I believe this model was one recommended by Consumer’s Report.

I really like this TV. I am replacing my (Philips) Magnavox 20MS233S analog TV and beginning the transition to a digital HDTV.
The picture is crisp and clear and I like the different formats you can change to your liking. The picture color adjustments are great and can be customized for each input. I also like the manual channel labels you can add – but these labels will also be erased if you rescan your TV for channels. The sound is adequate and can also be adjusted to your liking. The inputs are also decent and sufficient for my needs (I have disconnected my A/V selector; I no longer need it). I absolutely love the ipod function on this TV! I can play audios and videos with no problems! (although low-quality videos from my iPod result in low-quality, fuzzy, or blinking on the TV)
I do have a few problems with this TV, though, the reason why I gave it 4 stars. There is no composite (or is it component? i always get them confused) audio output, which is a problem for my stereo. I need to buy a converter in order for it to work with my TV. I cannot attach headphones, but I don’t see this as an issue because with a TV that large, I would feel awkward listening through headphones. I also cannot understand why I cannot view photos from my iPod on the TV (and it states in the description that the TV can do this!). Maybe I am missing something, but I cannot get this to work. Also, the “Remote” function is kind of dumb: why would I want to operate my iPod using the remote when I obviously cannot see my iPod from several feet away?
If someone can tell me how to get my iPod photos to display on the TV, please let me know.
Overall, this TV is a winner (at least a second-place winner, anyway), and I won it in a sweepstakes for no money and do not plan on reselling it.
