Title of review £500 TV
What are the strengths? Clarity of Colours
Haven't tried any HD sources but DVD's through component with progressive scan highlight the quality of the screen. Colours are rich and vibrant. Built in freeview is very good and much better than cheaper manufacturers. In reality Standard TV viewing doesn't do it justice.

Sound
I've read a lot of reviews saying the sound isn't up to much. Well I can tell you for terrestrial viewing they are very good. Clear and crisp and whilst you won't get deep bass, you can't expect to, it's a flat screen TV! If you want your coffee cup to vibrate when watching movies then buy a surround sound system.

Menu functions particularly picture settings.
Take some time to set up the picture properly on each input source. It will make a big difference. Do a search for the 'Which' settings as a base.
What are the weaknesses? Picture not as sharp as CRT and Plasma counterparts.
LCD's do suffer from blurred edges especially when viewing non HD content and moving scenes. This is noticable but it just takes time to get used to. Like I said above. Having correct picture settings can counteract a lot of this.
Summary Paid just under £500 for this TV and for that price you can't go wrong. Excellent build quality, muted yet smart styling and excellent connectivity, sound and picture clarity.

If you are looking to change from a good quality CRT then you need to be buying a higher spec set. If you can afford a few hundred more the LXD70 provides a significant improvement in spec.

If your on a strict budget, shop around and buy this one.

What are the weaknesses? SPEAKERS ARE A BIT WEAK BUT IF LINKED TO A HOME CINEMA OR AMPLIFIER NOT A PROBLEM
Summary THIS IS THE CHEAPEST 32" 1080p LCD TV AROUND AND ITS A PANASONIC! THE CONTRAST RATIO IS 7000:1 I'VE SEEN SIMILAR TV'S AT ONLY 600:1

Title of review avoid this at all costs
What are the strengths? none
What are the weaknesses? see the summary
Summary was told by many that this was one of the best brands and products to buy. the first tv set was delivered and failed within the day. A second was delivered and lasted no more than two minutes. good value for money??? I don't think so.
