For the money this is an excellent tv. Theres a little bit of motion blur which is why i didn’t give it 5 stars, but i knew there would be so i’m not too dissappointed. Its just a bedroom tv and like i said it excels at that for the price.

I bought this TV for my college dorm room and it meets every requirment I had. The price is reasonable and you’ll get a great quality TV worth every penny. I currently use mine as monitor to my Macbook (the picture quality is amazing.) I have an RCA home theater system plugged into it so I’m not a reliable source on the TV’s sound. However, I can vouge for ease of use (which is remarkably easy) and great picture quality. This TV was everything I had hoped for, and even more! The iPod dock comes in handy when I have friends over – it is a great addon to the TV and the program is very easy to use. I highly recommend this TV to anyone and everyone! If you have any questions regarding the TV feel free to ask me as I would be glad to help. Good luck in your shopping and I hope you choose this Panasonic!

This is a great TV set with:
1. Bright, colorful pictures!
2. WIDE viewing angle (images still very sharp, clear, and colorful from the side)!
3. Good audio (no audio output jack, but don't need it for bedroom use)
4. 3 HDMI inputs, Ipod jack
5. Nice looking also!

However, the main drawback (and reason I may return it) is that it will not connect to a PC properly (the native resolution is 1366x768, but it is not available thru the VGA connection, or HDMI connection either. CNET has reviewed it and they couldn't get the right connection to a computer either.). The best resolution available when you connect to a PC is 1280 x 1024, but you get 2 large vertical black bars on the sides. You cannot zoom to fill the screen either, the only available option is "FILL SCREEN," which stretches everything and make everybody in your pictures look fat.

I took my laptop to Best Buy and connected it to LG/Sony/Samsung models and they all worked perfectly (the 1366x760 resolution was available, so it wasn't my laptop that's causing the Panasonic problem, it's the Panasonic TV).
(I also tried a Samsung LN32B460 HDTV, nice set with good PC connection, but had to return it because it had horrible view angles, you had to sit directly in front to see a clear/sharp picture, otherwise, the picture was washed out!)

I don't hook up to a PC often, but if you buy a TV set that has a PC input, it should work properly, right?

If anyone has any suggestions to make the PC connection work right, please comment! Rating: 4 / 5

The TV was a gift to my 88 year old mother. It was actually delivered several days early and the delivery person set it up, connected it and disposed of the packaging-WONDERFUL! The picture is great and she loves it-THANKS!
