Setup was simple. This picture is terrific from any angle in the room. I researched many sets as well as Consumer Reports and this is tops.
A fine choice as with most other Panasonic products. Haven't been disappointed yet. This is looks and performs just terrific. Go for it.
The picture lacks subtle skin tones or colors. Too harsh. Sorry I bought an LCD. Too contrast-y, even if customize the picture, I can never get it to be as soft and beautiful as a plasma or the old three-gun sets.
Panasonic could make a nice niche market with a smaller version, but I understand people at home want to cover their walls more than carry a plasma in a case. With Pelican case the kit is just under 70 pounds (airline max) and we'll likely us it in the office for scrolling information media when not on travel. A fantastic set that I can only wish was a bit smaller and lighter. One thought for later readers, if the Chinese can roll out a field sized LCD for the Olympics, I'd expect to see an LCD screen I can roll up like a poster in a couple of years. The SD is a great idea the other manufactures should also look at. The 32" was bought for a road presentation kit and is the smallest we could find with PC, TV and the SD slide connections. I'm very impressed with the product line and for my own home would definately like to see the 42" or 50" version with all the connections this one has.
The set has an SD card slot so you can watch slide shows on this TV. While we do not play video games, the set has two HDMI inputs plus one for PC. Only one complaint: we need to turn the volume up to 85 out of 100 to hear the speakers clearly. This new for 2008 Panasonic Viera 32 inch set is simply the best buy in true HDTV.For about $875 including shipping and no tax, it offers an outstanding picture, many inputs and outputs, great over-the-air reception using rabbit ears, and is fully compatible with our extensive library of 600 videotapes plus 200 standard DVDs.Cable inputs connect our old VCR and DVD players and this Panasonic does the rest.We really like the "format" function on the remote, offering zoom, 4:3, full, just, andH-fill options so you can fill the screen every time. We use zoom and full most often.This eliminates the black bands on widescreen movies and our old videotapes lose theirobsolete shape and fill the screen. I wear my Sennheiser TR120 wireless earphones to increase the volume for 74-year-old ears.
