Cheap Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L32X1 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV TC-L32X1

I bought this t.v. about a week ago from HH Gregg. I walked in, helping my parents make a decision on an upgrade (Samsung 42″ LCD) and ended up getting the Panasonic myself. First and foremost, I’m a gamer. I wanted a t.v. so that when I moved out, it would be big enough to become my “main” t.v. in my house, but also something that I could hook up an xbox 360 and (when the time comes) a PS3 as my blu-ray. The t.v. also comes with a Apple ipod dock, which I haven’t used yet, but will note when I do so.

The xbox looks and sounds great-I couldn’t ask for anything better. The images are sharp and each explosion, threat and car race are seen and heard. There are definitely some sound differences when moving through the various inputs. The t.v. volume differs from the xbox’s volume which differs from the PS2’s volume. What I mean is, in order to hear quieter conversations while playing a standard dvd in the ps2, I have to turn the volume up. However, the xbox, which I’ve hooked up using the component cables, no HDMI input (waaah), can be quieter, in the low 20’s, for me to hear everything perfectly. This is probably due to the difference in the cables as the PS2 is input using standard A/V cables (red, yellow, white).

My biggest problem with the t.v. is in watching a movie with darker scenes. The t.v. show Dark Angel uses a lot of night time lighting which the t.v. has trouble compensating for. The screen, at times, goes nearly dark trying to display the change in lighting. I have heard that this is sometimes a problem for the smaller, 720’s. As I have nothing to compare it to, I’m not sure. Just know that this is an issue. I would be interested in seeing if that carries across the board, with say, a blu-ray or HD dvd.

Anyway, if you’re looking for a good sized screen upon which you or your kids can play video games for a great price, look no further.
