Hi
I want to get a 32"HD tv for the bedroom to connect to the 2nd cable box i get from virgin. THe box will be an SD box so the tv will be used for just SD broadcasts.
Does anyone have the Panasonic TX32LXD70? It's £599 in Richer Sounds but they were trying to flog me a Philips! I went to Selfridges where it's £800 so if I get it i'll go to Richer Sounds. The thing is the picture looked quite dark.
Is a good tv? Is it good for SD broadcasts?
Thanks!

All I can say is the "52" I have is very good. The "60" was better so I would expect the "70" to be better still. The "700" is brilliant for around £900. Not telling what I paid, but it was nearly two years ago so you can guessit was a lot more

I Have the TX32LXD70 for about 2 weeks now and all I can is its the best lcd tv I have seen for under £630 well worth every penny, you will not be disapointed this tv sounds perfect when connected to a 5.1 system which just tops it off. Pitcure quality is 10/10 as well as functions 10/10 . Its perfect for sport and when watching rugby its just something else. Any other questions just ask.

Regards

Pete

Hi Pete
I have just ordered one, can I ask if was easy to set up?

Chris

Hi the set up was as easy as pressing 1 button and thats the power button it finds all the analogue and freeview channels all named and in the right order, the tv gives u the option to rename all the av inputs so it makes it easy to remember whats on which , i do advise u make a couple of changes to the picture settings when u get it . PM me wen u get it and i will run them threw with you if you want , happy viewing.

Do you have a delay on the remote control when you first turn on (works perfect after 30-60 seconds).
Panasonic have told me this is usual. I guess i just need someone else's opinion.

As i'm in the TV retail biz, I have sold lots of TX32LXD70's, great TV, 100 Motion Pro is a great feature and works, hold the F button on the top of the set, it's very easy to use, and to explain to customers. Great sound and Pictute! and a FREE 5 year guarantee!

Certainly recommend it to anyone who wants a 32" LCD TV,

To turn the TV on you need to press and hold one of the number keys for a few seconds before it turns on (the led on the tv flashes red and then goes green) Its not like other tvs where u press it once and it turns on, it needs a few seconds to kick it to place. Once that happens you get a picture in a few seconds.

I've got the 26 inch version of this TV and love it!

Thanks for your help, I get the set Wed PM this week so may be in touch if thats ok

Thanks Chris

Sorry i'm not explaining myself correctly.
When i turn the tv on using the on/off switch on the top panel, the picture appears within a few seconds, but it takes a good 45-60 seconds before you can use all the functions on the remote (Channel change / volume). Once the remote is working every things brilliant.
Panasonic told me this is not unusual and was something to do with the tv checking the digital channels.
Because i personally don't know anyone with the tv, i just wondered if anybody else was having the same experience with their tv.
Once everything has settled down, can't knock it.
Fantastic picture and sound.

Great set but has anyone managed to get the Freeview channels into the order that you want-yes i know its got a "profile" setting, but you have to get into the "profile" first, i want it as default!

I've got the same set and don't recall that ever happening - I'll check it specifically for you when I get home though. Is this when on DVB or analog, or does it make no difference?

My new set arrived ontime this afternoon, it was up and running within half an hour, it set itself up with what I think is a fantastic picture and colours. I cant believe just how sharp the picture is, and my last set was a 26" Panasonic CRT which I was always so pleased with. When I was looking around at sets in the local stores, I now think that most are not set up right, as I noticed nearly all were not that sharp unless on a HD signal. So to sum up I would fully recommend this to anybody.
Pin sharp on Sky or Digital Freeview.
Lovely colours.

Camels.
I have it set to start on tv, so i guess it will be DVB.
I'll have to check if it does the same on analogue.
I'll update tomorrow (THURS).

Nope - takes a few seconds to start up (green light flashing) then remote control responds immediately.

Thanks.

Do you think this TV will get reduced in the Jan Sales??

I was told in Richer Sounds that the reason it had been reduced from 800 to 600 was that they were clearing it out of their warehouses - how true that is is open to debate of course ...

I got a really good deal and free delivery, I better not put the name on here but if you prvt me I can tell you, they are a first class company and well known

Chris

Chris i've sent you a PM
