5 Stars Best TV I have seen.
This picture is terrific from any angle in the room. Setup was simple. I researched many sets as well as Consumer Reports and this is tops.
5 Stars One great receiver
This is looks and performs just terrific. A fine choice as with most other Panasonic products. Haven’t been disappointed yet. Go for it.
4 Stars Great TV (when using HDMI)
The picture quality and sound are phenomenal on this TV when using HDMI cables. Even with non-HD programming, the picture quality far exceeds other 32 inch LCDs I have seen. My only complaint with this television is that when connecting auxiliary components such as an old Tivo or an old DVD player using standard RCA cables, the sound has to be turned up almost as high as possible. This occurred with anything I tried to connect using RCA cables. The picture however is quite clear even when using RCA cables.
Overall, this is a really slick looking TV with excellent picture and sound quality when using it for what its meant for.

Panasonic Viera TC-32LZ800
Pro: After one week of use in our master bedroom, my family and I must thank Panasonic for having produced such a wonderful product. I havn’t tested the Viera Link yet, but such accessories are not currently important to us. Together with the Blu-Ray DVD player, one can count the hairs on a person from a mile away!
Con: None at this time, but based on our experience with the 50 or 52 inch Panasonic LCD, I believe that the reliability will be excellent.

5 Stars Great deal - buy this, not the mfr cable!
There’s only one issue with this cable - there’s a little hard-to-see slider button that selects “HD” vs “TV” - for using it to connect a Wii to an HDTV using component connectors, you have to slide it to “HD” before it will output correctly. When on “TV” you just get black-and-white output. There’s no documentation anywhere on the package that tells you about this switch and it blends into the black color very well. That’s the only thing you need to know about this cable - it works for me and it’s nice that it’s half the price of the manufacturer cables!
5 Stars Great product!
Received the package on the scheduled date containing the promised contents. I am thoroughly happy with the purchase! Chucking my old ps2 rca cables. 100% satisfaction!
4 Stars Review for component cable for the xbox
got this within couple of days and tried it , no problems so far , one can see the difference in the picture quality when using the component cable versus regular composite and for its price this is a good bargain as most other sites tend to charge more for shipping. Note this is only for the xbox and not for the xbox360. Overally happy with this product .
1 Star Do not buy if you want all three plugged in at once!
Cannot hear audio when xbox360 is plugged in, even if it is turned off. Technically it is a universal adapter, but if you own all three, and want to keep them plugged in at the same time, this will not work. If you plug in the Xbox360, even if it is not turned on, you will not be able to hear the Wii while it is turned on or the PS3 while it is turned on.
1 Star Not what is shown in picture!
This is not what is shown in the picture. The product i got only has 3 adapters. I cannot keep the cable plugged into the Wii and the 360 at the same time. Wii will not work unless i unplug the 360. Cannot hook up my GC or PS2!

4 Stars A Brief Review
This is a nice tv….. so far as i can tell there is only one thing that’s been bothering me about it. I am using this television as a PC monitor and television. If you want to use it as the PC monitory you have to be sure that the samsung 550 is ON FIRST AND THE HDMI/DVI SOURCE IS SELECTED (in the menue) BEFORE……BEFORE…you can turn on the computer …. otherwise, the tv won’t recognize the computer and you have to hit the reset button on the pc and start over. It’s kind of a drag. Now you may be saying that maybe it’s my PC…. and maybe you’d be correct. I won’t know untill i kick 800 bucks for a new pc system which is going to be a while. Ok….. so i run the sound out from the sound card and into the back of the tv using a 3mm cable…(i think it’s 3mm, but whatever), and then run RCA cables from the “audio OUT LR” on the tv and into the back of my home stereo. So i get pretty good audio from my PC comming out my home theater. Surprising, there is no noticable hiss! I kicked out a very very cheap 40 bucks for twenty feet (or so) of think hdmi/dvi cable…..on amazon, the cable is HALF what a regular retail shop would charge!! I also got a six footer for a mesialy 10 bucks or so!! To rap it up…. i got the pc / tv / home stereo integrated pretty well. My next home stereo will have optical inputs so later i’ll be able to run those out the tv instead of the RCA cables. Here’s an afterthought….this puppy runs hot! In the winter it’s going to double as my heating. Who knows, perhaps my gas bill will be lower this winter. for now, I just turn up the energy saver function to high. It’s a cool option. I learned how to use the menue in a very short time, it’s very simple to use. The remote light up when you push the “light” button…. that’s kind of cool too….ok bla bla bla …i’m rambling…….DRUM ROLE PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GIVE THIS PRODUCT A………………………………………………………………………………………..8.5 !!!
ps the resolution on this pup is bitchen !!
5 Stars Great product
Great product - I have a 46″ Samsung and love the TV. This one is also just as high quality. However, I should have skipped the 1080p on a 32″ and stuck with the 720. With this screen size you really can’t tell the difference.
4 Stars First HDTV for us
We finally made the plunge and purchased this TV. We use it to watch TV and movies and to screen digital photos. We don’t watch sports or use it for games. The picture quality is fantastic. We also purchased an upscaling DVD player (Philips DVP 5992/37, Costco) to go with this TV until Blueray players drop in price. The combo works very well together.
Pros:
-Excellent picture quality
-USB port for viewing (and very limited editing) of photos from a digital camera. You can quickly create an onscreen slide show.
-Automatically communicates with DVD player via HDMI connection (no hunting for the video channel)
-Well written instruction manual
-Flexibility (energy saving modes, ability to change image size,variety of audio modes)
-Easy to read and understand remote
Cons:
-Lateral rotation of TV on stand is limited (maybe 45 degrees). Makes it hard to access the back of the TV if inside cabinetry.
-Does not automatically display all photos in upright position, and you have to go three levels into a menu to do this.
I use this TV to quickly screen photos from my digital camera by loading them through the USB port. I can delete the duds using the TV remote, which is a big timesaver for me (and easier on my eyes than using my computer monitor). The digital photo quality is just stunning when viewed on this TV.
I purchased an HDMI cable through Amazon for connecting the DVD player to the TV, and saved a bundle by comparison to the local vendors.
5 Stars Great HDTV
The LN-32A550 SAMSUNG is fantastic. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t tell the difference between a 720p and a 1080p in this size TV because you can.
The HDTV programs are great. Digital programs are very good and SD programs are above average depending on the channel (can’t wait for February).
Blacks are deep, whites are bright and flesh tones are natural.
There are more setting in the menue for picture and sound than any other HDTV I looked at.
3 HDMI ports and all the other ports you could want in a TV this size including a USB port for showing pictures and firmware updates.
The sound is only average but I have it in my bedroom. If you are going to put it in a family room or living room you might consider adding speakers.
Swival stand and backlit remote are great features.
The simple piano black finish and lack of chrome make this TV look sleek and modern.
1 Star Adorama Camera Tried a Bait and Switch
Purchased Lcd TV from Adorama Camera and was sent a shipping conformation date. Then a couple days later, recieved a call from salesperson asking for a $175 dollars more for the model I purchased. They claimed Amazon made the error on the model price. I told them that this was not my problem and that I expected the unit that I bought to be shipped as per the conformation I recieved. They tried to offer me a lesser unit, but I refused. I tried to get trnsfered to the owner, Mr. Mendowitz, but kept getting transfered to diffrent sales people. I insisted on talking to the owner, and was told he would call me back. Next thing I know my order was cancelled and payment returned. So I filed a complaint with the BBB in New York on this firm. Be wary of the bait and switch these guys try to get you to either pay more or accept a lesser unit.
