The Panasonic Viera TX-L32S10 Our Review
When one considers entry level high definition TV sets, one scarcely expects to see a set capable of producing a full 1080p resolution. One entry level set that does just that is the Panasonic Viera TX-L32S10. This 32 inch viewable model produces very high quality high definition images and costs less than nearly all models with this capability.
Of people who have reviewed or commented on the Panasonic TX-L32S10, the biggest thing that comes up is the inability to calibrate the backlight and the colour from the main onscreen menu. It’s a really simplistic menu, too simple for the more advanced users but not an issue for most of us.
At SD and 720p resolution, the screen of the TX-L32S10 has 1:1 pixel mapping functionality, making it reproduce digital input images to the truest resolution possible. At 1080p, this no longer holds true as the pixel mapping is not able to hold the 1:1 ratio. There does not appear to be any edge enhancement, making the edges appear slightly soft at 1080p resolution. This seems to favour gamers using the higher end 60p games available for xbox 360 and PS3.
It can be an issue, but not a big one, mind you; for those who are planning on using the Panasonic TX-L32S10 HDTV as their monitor for their desktop computer. The only thing that is lacking is the ability to map to 1 to 1 pixel which may cause a bit of an issue if you’re going to use a lot of text driven applications. Other than that, you will be fine with this television. The price just can’t be beat, not when you consider all of the perks you’ll get with this TV.
The Panasonic TX-L32S10 is a gamers dream come true. There is very little input lag, making it ideal for all of your gaming consoles. Rumour has it that there is a little bit of ghost imaging from a backlight flickering, but the resolution is incredible and the ghosting is nearly impossible to detect. You’ll never lose focus on your game with this model.
Some gamers have had issues with the sound quality. When you consider the thickness available to house speakers, it’s hard to believe that the quality is as high as it is. Unless you’re used to a full theatre experience with your HD television, you’re going to be more than happy with the sound performance of the Panasonic TX-L32S10.
It’s not hard to add surround sound to the Panasonic TX-L32S10 to improve the quality of sound. Most viewers will have no issues with the sound quality at all.
Let’s face it, this is an entry level high definition TV. Many who have purchased did not believe that you could find an HDTV set with such great features and sound and picture quality for this low price. The Panasonic TX-L32S10 surpasses all of most peoples expectations from a television in this price range. If you’re ready to enter the new HDTV world, welcome to the Panasonic Viera TX-L32S10.
