Great TV, but size is not good for a living room!

Customer Rating:
This TV is excellent! I don't have any complaints about it. Picture quality is amazing and, when I get the iPhone in a couple of month, I will definitely connect it to the TV.

However, if you are planning to buy this for a living room, don't! 26 inch is small for a living room. My living room is 12.3 x 13.7, and I believe that a 32 inch would have been a better choice. This TV would work well for your bedroom, or a huge monitor for your desktop.

And watch out about the return policy. You pay 15% of the price of TV and the shipping cost if you return it, so it is better if you measure your room, or check a 26 LCD tv in a store before you go ahead and buy this TV.

Good TV but price seems high

Customer Rating:
This is an excellent TV. Very sttractive and works just fine. I bought mine from Amazon in February 2010 and paid only $289.99 ($315.73 with the sales tax). I am surprised that the Amazon price (now, in June 2010, it's over $500) has gone up so much.

Out Of The Box ~ Beautiful !

Customer Rating:
PROS:
Received promptly ... out of the box beautiful. The sound is as good as any, picture is perfect (no adjusting) necessary, pretty much "plug n' play".
CONS:
Nothing of consequence. Would prefer a stand alone dedicated sleep button on the remote... as is you have to go into the menue three steps, I believe it is to set it, and I'm using this tv as the bedroom unit.

I would recomend this Panasonic unit to anyone without reservations.

I love this TV

Customer Rating:
I am very happy with this TV in every way. I love it! Just be aware that unless you have HD service, the TV picture won't be in high-def. I hooked a game system up to the TV and then I was able to appreciate the HD.

This TV was easy to set up and the sound and the picture quality is great. I have a smaller Toshiba TV at home and this Panasonic TV is MUCH better in terms of picture quality and ease of set up. This TV had all the right settings immediately, whereas with the Toshiba I had to adjust the color sliders a lot to get a good picture.

GREAT Bedroom TV!

Customer Rating:
This TV has been GREAT! In my bedroom, it feels like a bigscreen. I have it set up about 10-12 feet away from where I sit in bed and I am loving it--the screen seems bigger than it really is. Picture is crisp, though you will notice the non-HD channels look grainy, but that's not the TV's fault! HD looks lovely on this screen.

I'll address a few things:

Appearance: This set is sleek and attractive! It is shiny and collects dust, but so what? Dust your TV! Not a biggie. Contrary to some other reviews, I think the viewing angle is fine--the screen is easily visible even at some extreme angles. Plus, it's a small TV--turn it a little! It is not heavy or hard to move. This is what I do.

Sound Quality: Sound quality is totally fine for bedroom use, but if you want to use this in a larger room, you may want to get some additional speakers. The speakers are on the underside of the TV which makes it look more streamlined but affects the sound level a bit. I'm thinking about getting speakers even for my bedroom, but that's just me. I like explosion sounds to boom.

Remote: The remote is easy to use, but I can't figure out how to fully sync it with my Fios remote. This may just be because I'm technologically-challenged, but I currently use both remotes. It partially synced, automatically--channel changes, etc., are on the Fios remote and volume/mute/power are on the TV remote. Oh well.

Haven't used the iPod hookup yet, but it's a cool feature to have!

Overall, I am VERY pleased with my purchase and love having this sized TV in my bedroom.
