Excellent TV from Panasonic

Review Date: April 25, 2010

Reviewer: D. Meyer, Chicago

I bought this plasma from a local electronics store [...]. This is the second flat screen I have purchased in as many days.

I first bought a Samsung LN40C650 LCD but returned it the next day because of a few issues that I couldn't get past. It had very light vertical banding in some spots (It's possible that I just got a bad one on this count), the image washed out when viewing from anywhere other than straight on, and I didn't like the way the tv dealt with motion (whether the auto-motion was turned on or not). Also, the colors didn't seem very natural although it's possible that after adjustment this would have improved.

So I decided to try the Panasonic TC-P42G25, a Plasma tv, which supposedly has none of these issues (but maybe its own inherent issue, read on). I brought it home, unboxed it, attached the stand and hooked everything up. I was able to accomplish this myself but I would recommend getting some help to do this step. The stand does swivel which is a nice feature to have. I turned it on and after a short setup wizard everything was ready to go. I live in Chicago and the tv had no problem finding all the digital channels from my indoor/outdoor antenna which you can see here - [...]

At first this tv looks a bit dim, but this is because by default the tv is set to standard brightness mode which is the least vibrant of the settings. I flipped through some of the other picture modes and THX seems to be bright and accurate, though I decided to leave it in standard mode for the first few days during the plasma "break in" period.

I popped the dvd Ashes of American Flags (concert film, rock band Wilco) into a bluray player that I borrowed from someone. This film has a lot dark areas in the concert scenes which allowed me to check out the black levels. The tv automatically recognized that I was playing something and switched the source to receive video from the bluray player.

If I had to describe the picture quality on this tv in one word it would be "amazing". Screen uniformity is perfect, no light or dark places anywhere. Colors appear natural and realistic to me. The black levels are very deep on this tv when you dim the lights a bit or close the shades in the room. Motion appears fine to me (I found the motion looked better with the blur reduction in settings turned off).

The default setting for this tv is to have C.A.T.S. turned on in the settings. This adjusts the brightness of the picture depending on how much ambient light is in the room. Some people may like this feature but I turned it off.

The sound is good for normal tv viewing. It sounded better to me when I turned on bass boost in the sound settings; It is possible to adjust the treble and bass also.

One issue that this tv has (as well as Plasma's in general from what I've read) that LCD's don't is that the black levels don't look their best in a brightly lit room. This is not a problem for me as I prefer watching in a dim, but not pitch black, environment. To my eyes the black levels look deeper than I've ever seen on an LCD.

I have not tried the network feature on this tv yet. An earlier reviewer said some of the network features may not be available yet. It won't really matter to me if this is still the case. I just want a flatscreen that does what it is supposed to do, and does it very well; This plasma delivers that.

This is a polished product from Panasonic. Please Panasonic, don't ever stop making Plasma's!

****Quick update**** 4/26. When I said that the TV automatically switched the source to receive video from the bluray player, It may have done this because the bluray player that I borrowed also happened to be a Panasonic product. As to whether or not it will automatically switch the source for another brand of bluray player, you'll have to find that out for yourself.

Very Pleased

Review Date: April 29, 2010

Reviewer: Steve, Seattle, WA

Although I have been working in the AV industry for many years I have been holding back - seen a lot of feature hype and hoopla go by but this is the first flat screen plasma I liked with a price that was reasonable.
For a couple of years now I have been looking for an HDTV with wide viewing angels - worked well in dark or well lit room without too much reflection - rich accurate color reproduction - Works well with games or sports motion - works well with over the air/cable SD signals or SD DVD play back - ease of use - easy break in - Minimal chance of image retention - Multiple input/outputs - reasonable price.
We have had our 42G25 now for several weeks and have been very pleased with our choice - did have to buy the component cables for our Wii which improved the picture quality fairly well for an SD video game. We also purchased a Panasonic Bluray player with the TV it works nicely with SD or Bluray playback - The TV's THX certified picture setting is very pleasing and color accurate for movies - I use the Custom setting for over the air and cable TV watching with a few minor adjustment tweaks I got excellent results. Both the TV and player have internet abilities - I have used utube so far works fine. Also I was easily able to updated the firmware for both TV and player. Bought a Mini DVI to HDMI adapter to use my 2 yr. old MacBook computer works fine @ 1920x1080p resolution streaming Hulu etc. There is an RGB port on the TV but only lower resolutions work - since RGB is limited anyway I would use the HDMI port if your computer is 1080p capable. The sound is a little on the tinny side for me but my wife doesn't seem to mind it personally I usually use the AV amplifier when watching TV or Movies. The TV remote is easy to use and lights up. The BR player remote is also easy use but does not light up not sure I get that - it makes it very awkward to use in the dark. So I just put everything on our Sony universal 2100 remote and the wife was happy controlling all sources with one touch screen remote that lights up.
One last thing - I'm keeping an eye on the alleged "rising black levels" but I have not notice anything yet. I'll repost if anything comes up. However I do recommend this TV to all it's a good value, sharp accurate picture and a great product.

everything OK

Reviewer: P. struble,

Arrived in just a few days Trucking company called and made delivery appointment at my convenience the next AM

Great TV - but Skype / Netflix / Twitter not available yet....

Review Date: April 21, 2010

Reviewer: Jyotika Lamba, NJ, USA

Got the TV yesterday. Bought this one from Vann's. They delivered the TV a day late.

I went by the instructions provided and let the tv lay around to warm up to room temperature for about 4 hours.

Started her up; connected it to the LAN cable first cos I was excited to watch Netflix and Skype on it. The main reason I bought this TV was because it was the next gen release of the famous G10 series TV's with THX. The TV started up and asked me "A software update is available, proceed?" I never had my TV ask me that before :o)

15 minutes later.....Started the VieraCast feature (this is where all the widgets for Youtube, Netflix, Skype, Fox Sports, Pandora, Twitter reside...) and guess what ?

Skype - Coming Soon....
Twitter - Coming Soon....
Fox Sports - Coming Soon...
Netflix - Wait... where did it go?? Huh? Spoke the the Panasonic CSR and they told me Netflix will be available by late summer. So what does that make Netflix? Coming Soon.....

1)Youtube Videos - Available and working. Saw a couple of videos too.
2)Amazon Video on Demand - Working - starts buffering sometimes and not as smooth in delivery as Netflix. Quality is good though. If you register with Amazon before May 31st - u get a 5$ credit. So I signed up and watched a free movie - 2012 on HD.

3)Weather Update - Nice, works.

The TV is by far the best I've seen. No doubt about it. I've been patiently researching the Panasonic P42G10 for over 6 months before they launched this and I pounced right on the new release for the price. Absolutley no regrets on picture quality, looks and product capability.

Im giving this 4 Stars cos Panasonic claimed they have features that work.... they dont. Well, not yet they dont. They are "Coming Soon".....

So until the next round of software updates. I guess I'll just connect my laptop and watch netflix.

Will update more soon.

The new Panasonic plasma set is an amazing step up in picture quality and varieties of options available in use, settings, and convenience if one can master all the instructions. As an old guy this was not easy. I only hope the performance continues without malfunctions developing.

Review Date: March 28, 2010

Reviewer: Sim Fan, Denver CO USA

I bought three new 32-inch LCD TVs in one week, and returned the first two because of faulty video inputs. The third TV I bought is this high-quality, Panasonic TC-L32X2 TV, which was just released in February 2010. My experience enabled me to compare three similar TVs, giving me good insight to write this review.

I initially bought two other 32-inch LCD TVs; a Vizio VO320E and a Sony BRAVIA BX 300 Series (model KDL-32BX300). I returned both of them because of identical video input problems. I connected two different brands of DVD players to each TV, and when I played DVDs, there were alternating horizontal stripes of discoloration on the screen, indicating a problem with the video inputs on the TVs. I returned both TVs to the retailer because both of these DVD players worked perfectly on two other TVs in my house, including a one-year-old Panasonic plasma.

Then I bought the Panasonic TC-L32X2 TV listed here. After the initial setup, the first thing I tested was the video output from a DVD player, and was relieved to find that the video was crisp and clear, with no stripes of discoloration like on the other two TVs. Then I flipped through the channels from a direct cable TV input (no cable box), and the TV output was excellent as well, and definitely better than the other two TVs that I had to return. Also, the build of the TV was noticeably of higher quality than the other two TVs. The remote has plenty of features, and is not cheap (like the ones that came with other two TVs).

This Panasonic TC-L32X2 TV comes with one cable TV input, one set of component video inputs (red/blue/green video and red/white audio), two sets of composite video inputs (red/white/yellow), three HDMI inputs, a PC input, an iPod dock with connector cable and rear input, an SD camera card input, and a Dolby digital audio output.

In love

Reviewer: K. Shepard, Chicago, IL

I absolutely love this televison. At such a low price I did not expect too much but it arrived within only two days (that's with the free shipping too!) and was amazing! The only complaints I have are that the base collects dust very easily, and also when assembling make sure you have a very long thin screwdriver or else it'll be quite a battle putting this thing together. Other than that, I love this tv and set up was a breeze!

Awesome

Review Date: May 9, 2010

I love it!

Review Date: May 14, 2010

Reviewer: Mary, Pennsylvania

This Panasonic TV has a great, clear picture. The 720p is perfectly fine for a 32 inch. I looked at plenty of TVs before I purchased this one. It was very easy to set up & the price was right!

All I can say is....

Review Date: May 9, 2010

Reviewer: E. Knight,

This TV is not Blu-Ray compliant! I bought this TV and use it as a second monitor for my computer. I have Blu-Ray player on my computer, and started getting an error message after a few seconds of playing. The HDCP error, meaning because this TV has recording capability it will not play copy write protected Blu-Ray. If you don't mind not being able to play Blu-Rays, then this TV is a good buy.

Reviewer: Lee T. Maggione, Slidell,La

I bought this plasma TV last week. It was set up by a professional to my in wall surround system. The picture on this TV is really clear and crisp. I think it is much better than and LCD or LED that I looked at at Best Buy and Walmart.

Reviewer: F. Magnus,

I bought this TV about 6 months ago. The refresh rate on this TV is excellent. The colors are unbelievable, especially with Blu Ray. Auto Racing is the true test though. I,ve never had any blur or bad picture. This TV is a fantastic buy at a fantastic price.

Amazing TV at an Amazing cost!

Review Date: May 8, 2010

Reviewer: C. Freeman, Santa Ana, CA United States

I've been in the market for a new TV for a long while now, but finally my old 42" bit the dust and it was time for an upgrade. I did a fair amount of research in regards to both quality and price and this tv was hands down untouchable. Amazing picture, great black levels, and finally an option for HD picture that allowed my mac mini to be connected without overscan, the picture ratio is prefect. Amazing tv, looks great, great price and a great picture. I'm very satisfied so far. Speakers leave something to be desired, but with a TV this big you're going to want to hook up a 5.1 or 7.1 anyway.

I did lots of research

Review Date: April 21, 2010

Reviewer: Brian, SLC Utah

I did a lot of online research and spent a lot of time at electronic stores before I finally decided on this TV. Great features, great picture, great price, and Panasonic is the best brand name in plasmas in my oppinion. I've had this for almost 3 months now, and cant think of one thing I could complain about. I wish there was a PC hookup, but I knew that this model did not have one before I purchased, so I cant really complain there. I would make this purchase again if I had to do it all over again. I would strongly recommend this TV.

Great TV

Review Date: May 12, 2010

Reviewer: Chrisc,

Great picture and awesome black levels. One issue that I found with my set, is that the standard picture setting seems somewhat noisy / grainy. If you experience this, change to the cinema setting and make your adjustments there. Blu-ray Avatar looks nothing short of stunning, and I am not aware of any of the lag that another reviewer described.
