Panasonic TX-32LZD80 - Expert Reviews

Review summary: Now offering a range of LCD TVs that is as complete as its collection of plasma screens, Panasonic has brought us this new model with Full HD 1080p. The screen itself is matt, which will be welcome news to those of you who have their TV in a bright room

Pros: - Excellent colors, - Wide viewing angle, - Very good scaling for SD images (DVDs/consoles)

Cons: - Slightly weak contrast, - Digital tuner can’t receive HD images
