I've had this set for about 3 weeks and am still amazed at the picture quality. The color and contrast is very sharp. Menus are easy to navigate and there are lots of settings. Has multiple inputs including 2 HDMI inputs. Channel changes are quick and the sound quality is pleasant.

If I had anything negative to say it would be that there is a slight flicker when switching from a 1080i HD program to regular programming (which I understand is normal) and there is a slight curvature to the screen that you notice at first but soon adjust to it. When comparing to other sets in this price range I think this is by far the best I've seen.

If you plan on using the HDAVI ez-sync feature with a Panasonic DVD recorder you better plan on purchasing the Panasonic brand HDMI cables. I found out the hard way that off the shelf HDMI cables don't support the ez-sync feature. Part numbers ar RP-CDHG30 and RP-CDHG50.

I compared many 32 LCD TV's and the Panasonic LX600 has the best picture quality. I compared LG, Sharp, and Samsung and the Panasonic has the best color and angle viewing. It's a little more expensive than some other 32 inch models but for the price you get a better product. Only disapointment is that Panasonic doesn't offer a 37 in model.

This unit has 3000:1 contrast ratio, 8ms refresh, and 500 brightness. The stand allows for the tv to be moved side to side which is a nice feature. The speakers are on the bottom so the tv fits in tight place where some 32 lcds have the speakers on the side which increases the size of the tv.

If there is any complaint, its that the remote feel cheap. Not bad, but just kind of inexpensive. Overall, I would recommend this TV to anyone looking for a 32inch LCD.

I have a space limitation and was looking for the biggest screen I could find to fit in my dimensions. I am also partial to LCD's, because I having been using one for years with my computer. This Panasonic model met my physical needs and I have been satisfied with their products in the past. In addition, prices seemed to be in a downward spiral, so I felt I was getting a good deal at time of purchase. The price spiral seems to be continuing, so do your homework to make sure you are getting a fair price.
The TV was easy to set up--but I was simply replacing an existing HD CRT TV, so all I had to do was to pull out my old CRT type and plug the old cables in. The only change I made was to convert to HDMI cables from my DVD player and my cable company DVR/cable box. I am not sure how much HDMI cables improve the picture--and they are pretty expensive.
The on screen controls seemed easy to me, but I had previously had an HD TV and I was primed for what to expect. Novices will probably find the hook up and set up process fairly complex, particularly if you are using a stand alone stereo tuner for the first time to set up a home theater.
Note this TV does not support a 1080P input--currently only used for HD/Blue Ray DVD players--it will simply convert the input to a lower quality. This was not an issue for me, as it appears that a 1080P picture provides improvement only if you are within 7 feet of a 50" TV. As I am about 10 feet from a 32", not spending the extra money for 1080P as well as the required player was a no brainer. I use cable and the HD channels (we have about 20) generally look wonderful. If you have never had HD before, the clarity can be spectacular. However, note when watching non-HD channels, the picture often looks fuzzy. This is mostly related to the HD process, although Consumer Reports indicates that this Panasonic model is only average in displaying non-HD signals. As with all my previous TV's, I was unable to get the remote to handle the basic functions of my cable box or DVD player--you may have better luck.
Price was right, quality is excellent, so if the size is right and the lack of 1080P is not an issue, I can strongly recommend this model.

I did a lot of research. I'll keep it short. I am very pleased, this one is the best in its class. Dual HDMI very good and important to have. Matte black case excellent. Brightness excellent. UPS shipping from elec expo was fine.

As the other reviewer has said, I'll keep this short, but hopefully informative. I wanted a 32 inch LCD TV with the best possible picture quality, good SDTV display along with HDTV display, the ability to fine tune the picture with many options including black level and backlight which I feel are important adjustments for an LCD screen, two HDMI inputs with HDCP and the highest contrast ratio I could find (3000:1) and last but not least, the ability to fine tune each and every input into the TV to my own preferences. This Pannie has all of the above plus more features. Originally released mid-2006, this TV has steep discounts due to Panasonic rolling out an updated version of this model that features better motion display. I took a good look at other comparable 32 inch LCD TV's in certain big box retailers and I found that none equal the TC-32LX600 display, period. I am impressed with the quality and look of this set, very sleek and modern: At first I was not too concerned with aesthetics, but now I know better!
A great buy, do a little research yourself on price before you buy and you will not be disappointed.
