Panasonic - 32" Viera X1 Series LCD 720p HDTV — 

After our den tube TV gave up the ghost after 15 years, I began my research for a 32" TV. I want great quality at a great value -  I am willing to buy the best once instead of buying junk twice.

 

Pros:
This TV has it all- 3 HDMI plus Component input plus an iPod dock. I am currently using 4 inputs total- 2 HDMI, 1 component and 1 composite, still leaving an HDMI and a composite available. The picture is stunning, the controls simple and the iPod dock so easy my 9 year old figured it out in under 3 minutes. The picture settings are vast and seem to be input-specific. Switching inputs is easy and the picture format options are simple.

Cons:
Speakers sound tinny and the volume does not go up smoothly. 

The audio settings however are shared among all inputs which is too bad because the DVD, iPod and Cable have such different tonal qualities I'd like them to have their own settings.

SD TV is a bit grainy and pixelated, but no worse than any other LCD TV I viewed.

I wish the TV swiveled on the stand, but it doesn't.

The TV buttons are all on the right side of the unit. It would be nice if at least the Power button was on the front like my Samsung 42".

Conclusion:
I paid $333 for the TV during a great sale at Sears. It is worth that and more.
