Excellent LCD TV for a bedroom or small living room

by macgyver58 on November 6, 2008

Pros: Bright sharp image. Good sound. Easy setup. Good price.

Cons: Can't think of any.

Summary: We bought this to replace a bedroom TV that finally died. We paid $508 from newegg and got it in 2 days with standard delivery. It took only 5 minutes to set up. The autoprogram took about 10 minutes to search through the cable channels but it accurately programmed them all with no effort on my part. Its a big improvement over our old 20 inch TV, but the image quality compares favorably to our 52 inch Sharp Aquos LCD. I compared this set side by side with the Sharp 26 inch and the LG 26 inch which I was considering. The local PC Richards had them all side by side. I would have boiught it there but they were out of stock. The blacks were much better and the colors were far more accurate on the Panasonic they they were on the other two sets. Overall this is a perfect set for a bedroom or small living room.
