Panasonic TC-32LX85 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

Panasonic TC-32LX85 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV-The Best Way to Watch Movies at Home

Coming from a company known more for its plasma HDTVs, the Panasonic TC-32LX85 is a pleasant surprise in the 32-inch LCD category. Attractively designed and well appointed with generous connectivity, it is also a good performer overall, although by no means perfect. I was particularly impressed with the set’s color accuracy, which is something I really don’t expect from entry-level displays. Compared with the competition, the LC-32LX85 represents a compelling value in small LCD screens when you consider its performance characteristics.

Technical Details

* 1366 x 768 Resolution
* 10000:1 Contrast Ratio
* 178 Degrees Viewing angle for maximum viewing capacity
* Viera LinK HDAVI Control lets you operate all of your home theater components by pressing a single button on your TV’s remote control
* Inputs include: 3 HDMI (1 side), 2 Composite video 1 S Video, 2 Audio inputs (for video), 1 Component . SD Memory card slot (SDHC compatible).

Design
Basic in its design, but simultaneously elegant looking, the TC-35LX85 has a glossy black finish, with a 3′ wide bezel surrounding the screen on all sides. It is a small and unobtrusive television that will fit into just about any decor nicely. Side panel AV inputs are neatly tucked away behind the right side of the screen.

The remote control is identical to Panasonic’s current plasma line of HDTVs, with an excellent ergonomic design. It is on the large side, but slender enough to fit in the hand comfortably. Unfortunately, the remote is not backlit. The internal menu graphical user interface is also quite simple and intuitive to use and navigate.

Features
The Panasonic TC-32LCX85′s offers a fairly comprehensive feature package for an entry-level 32-inch LCD TV. Its native resolution is 1366×768, or around 720p, whereas many higher-end models have a 1080p native resolution. At this screen size, however, the benefits of 1080p resolution are nearly impossible to discern with moving video, whether standard- or high-definition. If you plan on regularly using your 32-inch LCD TV as a computer monitor, however, you might want to consider a 1080p model.

Flat-screen plasma and LCD TV buying guide

November 27th, 2008 1 comment

The specifications explained

Gone are the days when you figured out how big a screen you wanted, looked at some sets, and bought the one with the best picture that fit your budget. An options explosion has littered the shopping landscape with numbers, features, and terminology that even experts sometimes have trouble tracking. So we’ve tried to boil the choices down to the basics that can actually do you some good, and we’ve noted which are important. (In audio and video, never forget that just because something has a number to describe it doesn’t mean it really matters!)

We’ve grouped the specs into three categories: important, somewhat important, and minor.

Important: contrast ratio

Contrast ratio refers to the brightest and darkest light values a display can produce at the same time. All else being equal, the higher the contrast ratio is, the better. All else is seldom equal, however.

Pumping up the maximum light output, for example, can increase contrast, but it won’t do anything to overcome poor black level, which tends to be a greater problem with plasmas and, especially, LCDs. So take contrast ratings as a very rough guide to be supplemented by eyes-on evaluation.
