Digital camera reviews of Panasonic TC-L32U22 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

Digital camera Review: 32" High Quality + Hi-Def + 1080p, makes this Panasonic a real BARGAIN!
Summary: 5 Stars

~ Our ideal location - Bought as a replacement for a Sharp AQOUS, that was in one of our Masters suites. Was Wall-mounted using this Omni-mount, go to: [...]
Both the Panasonic & Omni-Mount Look Fabulous!

Model - This Panasonic's 32-inch VIERA TC-L32U22 LCD HDTV, is the top-of-line U22 Series (there's 3 Versions), in the LCD Class, before you get into the Plasma's.
SetUp - Digital cable only, with few HD Channels, and a Sony PSP 3 as the default Blu-ray DVD & game player.
Audio-Video TIP - Whether, I'm setting up a Basic TV & DVD Player or something more Advanced, I found a Movie that has lot's of ACTION & SOUND (Dolby 5.1), whether it's on a Widescreen DVD or on a Blu-ray, I like to Use it to 'Tweak' my TV's MODE (Cinema, Game, Custom, etc) & Sound, as well, as Check for any Video stutters and/or 'artifacts'.
The movie, 'Flight of The Phoenix', circa 2006. Great Soundtrack too!
- Use the Blu-ray player's MENU, go to the 3rd(?) SCENE, where they board the plane ... turn up the Sound, step back and enjoy the Ride!

PRO's - Highlights:
* PRICE - bought it when it was on-sale for only 399.00 + free ship, plus no taxes.
* 1080p resolution, 24P Playback function for superb imagery from 24-frame movies on DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
* PIcture Results - Crisp, Clear, Bright Images, with an ultra-wide viewing angle of 178-degree's.
* Colors - Deep & Rich on the Cool-side, which is a Panasonic trademark.
* Contrast - Bright & Clean.
* Automatic Ambient Light Sensor
* Inputs: 3 HDMI & 1 digital audio output - Important to me!
* In Plane Switching (IPS) for an ultra-wide viewing angle and higher moving picture resolution that results in clear, bright images.
- Translation - Plays well with PSP 3 or XBox in rendering fast moving images, without stutter and/or diminishes Video artifacts.
* VIERA Image Viewer feature, which enables you to play slideshows of JPEG images stored on SD memory cards. - Have not used this feature yet.

CON's:
* No headphone jack
* No BlueTooth, ... OK, perhaps in the FUTURE, U Feel ME, Panasonic?

Summary of Panasonic TC-L32U22 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

Panasonic TC-L32U22 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
Offering advanced LCD technology for the highest possible picture quality, Panasonic's 32-inch VIERA TC-L32U22 LCD HDTV features an improved panel with In Plane Switching (IPS) for an ultra-wide viewing angle and higher moving picture resolution that results in clear, bright images. This U22 series model provides 1080p resolution, 24P Playback function for superb imagery from 24-frame movies on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, and a 20,000:1 contrast ratio.

This and other models in the U22 line offer Panasonic's VIERA Image Viewer feature, which enables you to play slideshows of JPEG images stored on SD memory cards, as well as the VIERA Link feature for controlling a variety of compatible components--from Blu-ray Disc players to digital cameras--through a single remote.

Adhering to Panasonic's commitment to the environment, this VIERA model--as well as all 2010 models--features improved power consumption and meets the new, more stringent Energy Star 4.0 requirements.

Key Features

In Plane Switching (IPS): The latest iteration of Panasonics IPS LCD panel features excellent light transmittance and a wide viewing angle. The wide 178-degree viewing angle--both horizontally and vertically--ensures clear images even when viewed from an angle. And the panel backlight's wide transmission aperture enhances the contrast between light and dark, improving motion-image response.

 

VIERA Image Viewer: View full-HD images with the integrated SD card slot, enabling you to view JPEG photos captured from your digital camera or camcorder on the big screen. Navigate your images via an easy-to-use thumbnail display.

 

VIERA Link: Allows the interlinked operation of various AV devices--from DVD and Blu-ray Disc players to home theater sound systems to digital cameras and camcorders--using only the VIERA remote control by simply connecting the devices to each other by an HDMI cable (see pop-up illustration).

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.

If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5
