Customer Reviews: Panasonic TX-L32X20B 32-inch Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV with Freeview September 8, 2010 Redbird I've had this TV about a month now and I really love it. Its easy to assemble (the instructions suggested it needed at least two people, but I did it on my own) and its auto-tune feature means its really simple to get it up and running. I'm not at all technically minded but it was just a case of plugging it in and following the on-screen prompts. The picture is sharp and clear, and the same can be said about the sound. I thought that, only having a 26" screen before, the 32" screen would be a little big for my small living room but I am used to it now and am very pleased I decided on this model. Highly recommended.
will it last? July 28, 2010 michael (galloway) 8 out of 12 found this review helpful
I bought the earlier tx 32lxd7m model for my mother. I agree with the comments on picture quality and ease of setup but after 18 months the picture would not always come on at start up. This got worse and it is now being repaired. Having researched this fault online it appears that this is a common experience - so doubts about reliability need to be considered. Probably would not buy another after this.
Superior quality and the headphones don't cut-off the speaker volume. July 21, 2010 Dave Robicheaux (UK) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Purchased recently for my parents who are in their eighties.
My Dad described receiving this TV and setting it up as like having a Christmas present. He cannot sing its praises highly enough!
We purchased a Toshiba 32AV713B 32-inch Widescreen HD Ready Digital LCD TV with Freeview first and some of the comments are based on comparisons with this model. We were lucky to pay only £60 more for the Panasonic (both from Amazon) but the average price difference between the two is at least £100 which may explain some of the quality differences.
Overall the quality is well above the Toshiba which itself has numerous excellent comments for the previous comparable model.
The Panasonic quality of manufacture is excellent. Default picture settings are easy on the eye.
The user guide is comprehensive; very well written and easy to follow. It enables connection and setup with complete confidence. Especially recommended for the elderly as it gives clear, concise, well explained instructions with good cross referencing. It explains all the features fully, and gives satisfaction and pleasure of ownership through the understanding and awareness of the features.
My mother is hard of hearing and listens through headphones at high volume whilst my father and anyone else use the normal speakers. No Panasonic TVs cut-off the speaker volume when headphones are inserted (Panasonic Dealer).
The Toshiba AV model TV along with all other makes to my knowledge cuts off the speaker volume when the headphone jack is inserted this clearly did not suit my parent's needs. Toshiba Support told me that the RV and XV models do allow the speaker volume and headphone output to work at the same time.
The Panasonic TV also allows the headphone volume level to be adjusted independently from the speaker volume through the menus.
The Information banner is very useful and allows you to look at what's on other channels whilst viewing the current one.
The front facing surround is pleasing to the eye and is not so reflective as to detract from viewing the screen. The Toshiba surround is reflective and can distract the eye.
Connection to the base is very well designed for holding the TV level. (We returned the Toshiba because it was not standing level.)
Overall this is a superb product.
A great Panasonic TV July 20, 2010 Mr. Robert J. Longhurst (East Grinstead, West Sussex United Kingdom) 18 out of 18 found this review helpful
This gives you the best in LCD TVs'. Easily set up straight from the box. It self tunes all available Freeview and Analogue TV programmes. No need to twiddle with the picture or sound settings as they are pre-set to be perfect.A beautiful sleek black cabinet completes this very nice bit of kit.You can ask no more of any TV. Ten gold star rating would be nearer the mark I believe.
