TC-L32C3 Customer Reviews

I wanted a 2nd TV for our less often used family space in our lower level. My only requirements were that it be reasonably priced, at least 32″, and interface with my older DVD player with component connections, and my older VCR with composite connections (yes, my kids still watch the occasional VHS movie). Frankly I didn’t care if it was internet connectable for Netflix, or had a specific refresh rate. After viewing a bunch of TVs and brands side by side at my local “Good Purchase” store, including generic knock-off brands, it was clear this model of Panasonic simply had the best picture for the price. The contrast, colors, and view-ability of the IPS panel really stood out against other TVs in this price range. After checking Amazon, Amazon had the lowest price anywhere. The box came with a hole in the side, but I guess that is not necessarily the fault of Amazon. Still the TV is not double-boxed when shipped, so fortunately whatever made the hole did not get through far enough to damage the TV. The TV was easy to affix to the stand (8 screws total) and the setup of the channels is VERY easy. The TV displays instructions for each step of the way so you always know what is going to happen or what to do if you want to exit a menu area. Of course at 32″ it does seem a bit smallish compared to my awesome Sharp 46″ TV in our main family room, but it will suffice for the amount it will get used. Of course it would be nice to have double the connections on the back, so I guess realistically I would give it 4.5 stars out of 5, but it does come with 2 HDMI, 1 Component, and 1 Composite. For the price of this TV it is what I would expect. I would rather have fewer connections and a quality picture than a sub-par picture with twice the connections. This would also make an excellent TV for a bedroom and for that you would likely not need that many connections anyway. Panasonic has a sleeper with this gem with its quality picture, IPS panel and at a very competitive price $three-twenty-nine with free shipping!

Review 2

I was (correctly) guided by the previous reviews to purchase this set and am more than satisfied. The ultimate decision was based upon on the fact (at the time of this writing), there was only one 3-star review and none lower. Oft times, an overall high rating becomes questionable when there are a handful of 1-star comments, indicating there are potentially one or more fatal flaws not noticed by everyone. Not so here. This set appears to have no deal-breaker problems.

While this is not the best 32″ television out there, for the money, it cannot be beat. Keep in mind this is a 720p set versus 1080p, however, the quality of the picture is very impressive and it is bigger bang for the buck compared to expensive models. While not as good as a 1080p set, those cost nearly double and are only slightly better than this. Please note, the features are pretty basic, but there is still a lot of TV here. Set-up takes only minutes, adjustments are simple and effective, the sound is not remarkable but is acceptable, and picture is simply magnificent for 720p… far, far better than expected… clean, sharp and bright. To acheive this, the backlighting and brightness may need to be manually adjusted, but only takes only seconds. If you are on a budget or just want a good quality 2nd HDTV, this is highly recommended for the purpose.
