hello all
have just got a Panasonic TX32LXD60 for only £449..
so was going to ask is it a good set ..i am very happy with the pic and the dvds look superb ..has any one found any probs with this set at all
Andy

Good price, where did you get it from?

The new LX70 is supposedly a little better in that it has 100Hz processing to make less blurring on fast moving objects but you'd be paying over £700 for that model.

I'd say that if you're happy with the pictures don't worry what anyone else says!

I have had one since November and I love it - wish I had payed the same as you though

I got the 26" model in March last year and payed £20 more, B4 any one asks it was a Del boy deal and it is a good set.

was from currys and it was the last one thay had ..and the little plastic Panasonic from the front was missing so had another 10% of for that and with it being the last one ..had some more of ..so all in £449..can not be bad
is it worth geting the gold plated scart leads ? for it ..have sky+ and dvd player running into it at the mo ..am thinking about sky HD down the line as well

I've been trying to get this particular model as i like the size & appearence of this tv & Panasonic seem to be reasonably good from what ive read but it seems it has been discontinued, however ive been on a few websites where they still have them in stock so i'm going to try find one this weekend & maybe buy it, subject to price & availibility. I do prefer the silver & black to the all black version & the newer 70 model only comes in black as far as i know.

One other thing, will it be more difficult to get parts for it if it is a discontinued model or not?

Not really but remember that LCDs are VERY expensive to repair if anything goes wrong and generally get scrapped.

Ok, thanks telly man.

Richer Sounds did have some stock, check your local store though.

are you inferring that plasmas are not expensive to repair, and dont get scrapped?

Not at all, i'm inferring that LCDs (in this case, along with Plasma) aren't repairable in the same way as a CRT.

No one mentioned Plasma in here before you?

Nope.

Generally Plasma are MORE expensive to repair, and less reliable, than LCD - but neither are cheap for repairs.

So far I've put two Plasma's in the dustbin lorry, and no LCD's - but that's only because I'm keeping the LCD's for spares!

Incidently - for a Sharp LCD costing say £599 - it will cost about £1100 to replace the LCD screen!. This is particularly excessive though!, generally to replace an LCD or Plasma screen costs about the same as it cost to buy the set originally - if the panel is even available anymore?, many Plasma panels are obselete and no longer available, and probably the older LCD's are as well?.

Anything over a couple of years old, then no, not usually.

any luck connecting this from a PC using DVI?

I am having trouble getting one to work at its default resolution.

Just for reference:

The 100Hz process does genuinely make a difference on sports (I've seen both models side by side), and you can get the LXD70 for 600 now.
