Product Rating  
Panasonic's new Viera LCD offers cutting edge technology and stunning picture quality, all wrapped up in a stylish, sophisticated design. The TX-32LXD500 features a high quality HD panel and Viera Colour Management System (Panasonic's plethora of black box technology). With the announcement from BSkyB that they are planning to go live with HD broadcast in 2006, the LXD500 series fully prepares you for a new HD world, and the addition of an HDMI terminal ensures that the picture is second-to-none! The LXD500 series sets a brilliant new standard in high-definition viewing. Boasting a new HD panel (XGA Resolution) with approximately 1,049,068 (1386 x 768) pixels, these models relay all the detailed beauty of high-quality-image sources. Thanks to the strong 700:1 contrast level, the LCD reproduces high-quality, true-to-life images. To compliment the TX32LXD500's exquisite picture quality, it has an impressive Smart Sound Speaker System comprised of four speakers (two on each side) arranged vertically on either side of the screen. The positioning of the speakers allows the sounds to pour out right from the center of the picture, ensuring the dialogue and other sounds are clear and easy on the ear. Bass sounds are robust too, thanks to two woofer units at the base of the screen. Colour management system for more expressive and enhanced images. The merit of the new TX-32LXD500 Viera LCD extends far beyond the aesthetic appeal. This elegant beauty takes quality to a new level with remarkably crisp and lifelike images, extraordinary detail, vivid colours, pure, deep blacks and outstanding sound. This phenomenal performance is possible thanks to Panasonic's Viera Colour Management System. Real skin tones and vibrant backgrounds. Panasonic's new 3D Colour Management System changes the way colours are presented on screen. Not only does this technology alter the colour displayed by each pixel, but it can now vary the level of brightness each pixel holds. In effect, this allows a whole new array of colours to be displayed in a scene. This technology produces skin tones are more "real" than ever before whilst simultaneously ensuring that background colours, such as fresh green grass and bright blue skies, maintain their vibrancy - pictures appear to come alive with the new TX-32LXD500.

Am new to the LCD market and after a little research decided to go with Panasonic. The picture quality is crisp and clear, with robust colours, but the 'refresh rate' appears a little slow, most noticably on slow moving close ups of faces, for example. Maybe this is a 'feature' of LCDs; I never experienced anything like this with CRT TVs. I am being quite picky, here, but if you spend 1400 quid on a TV, you're entitled to be!
