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

Comment: When looking for a new TV I wasn't looking for HD. Just wanted to see the subtitles or weather warnings on the screen without half of them being hidden. Even after hooking it up, we didn't know it was HD. Then we landed on a HD channel. OMG what a difference. I never saw what all the hype was about until then. The sound comes straight out at you but doesn't go all through the house which I like. We seem to be getting away with lower volume than before. Very easy to hook up. Only complaint I have is the HDMI outputs are for 2 different channels, not a line in and line out. For anyone hesitant on HD, put in a dark shot movie like All The Presidents Men or Harry Potter and prepare to be amazed. You will see what you've been missing.

Comment: While this may not be a top of the line tv, for the price you can't go wrong. Picture quality in hd is very good and standard def cable is acceptable (think it is more my cable company's quality of signal than the tv). Some have commented on sound levels, but I have had no such problem. I watch from about 6 feet away and only turn it up to about 11-12 and sometimes that can be too loud. I probably researched tvs from every angle for over 2 months before I decided on this tv. Overall this is a really good buy.

Comment: Although the size is not huge, the picture is flawless. I've seen a lot of HDTVs that handle non-digital signals poorly with lots of ghosting and muted colors, but this TV has none of that.

I would have liked a few more standard ports and a CABLECARD slot, but 2 HDMI ports, a PC, 1 component, and two standard A/V ports is good enough.

The Audio on the TV is not fantastic, but really nothing to complain about. If you are buying a TV purely based on picture quality, this is a TV you won't be disappointed with. Black levels are strong and the gamut is wide enough that colors just pop.

Comment: We are really happy with this television. It is a little bigger than we expected, but it fits quite nicely on top of the bureau. The picture and color are very good. This is our 2nd Panasonic television and so far, we are pleased with both of them. As far as the order and delivery process, it all was very simple and efficient. The tv was delivered within 10 days of ordering.

Comment: I bought this based upon my enjoyment of my TH-42PZ85U Plasma TV from Panasonic in 2007. This 32" TV is very good to look at both while the TV is on, and off. It would have gotten 5 stars if it had better sound. I do not know why, but the sound is severely lacking. One of my laptops about the same sound. Other than that, it is a great TV. I use it in the bedroom when I am going to sleep.
