The first thing you'll notice about the Panasonic TX-L32D25 is the design, which is a far cry from Panasonic's usual all black. Unusually, the back and remote control are silver and the front is a deep brown colour - while this doesn't sound great, in reality it's very attractive and makes a unique feature of any living room.
The television is light and extremely thin. In fact at only 45mm in depth it's one of the thinnest led's I've seen. These light and slim features make it great for wall mounting or fitting in rooms with limited space.
The tv features full high definition viewing at 1920 x 1080 pixels and comes with two tuners, a DVB-T2 for Freeview HD and DVB-S for Freesat HD - meaning you can enjoy all the best free HD channels at the full quality that the broadcasters intended.
The screen uses Intelligent Frame Creation to upscale 50Hz signals to 100Hz, providing better frame transitions for smoother images. I found it worked well, particularly when viewing sports programmes which were crisp with little to no artefacts.
The picture quality was also impressive, with plenty of detail in bright and vivid colours from a wide colour gamut. I did find some detail was lost on standard Freeview channels but this wasn't something that translated into the high definition programmes. Personally I find 32 inch screens make it difficult to appreciate high definition at times, but games console players will find it very satisfactory.
The tv comes with four HDMI, three component and one composite input, plus a PC mini d-sub 15-pin connector, two plugs for USB 2.0 access and a LAN port.
The sound is handled by two 10 watt internal speakers which output in Dolby Digital Plus. Unfortunately for me this it is major drawback, with programmes sounding tinny and echoey and at times quite off-putting. Of course this isn't a problem if you'll be listening through your hi-fi but if you are using the internal speakers it's certainly something to be aware of.
The LED backlighting provides the panel with a huge two million to one dynamic contrast ratio, creating deep black levels on all types of broadcasts. The IPS Alpha panel has also been upgraded since the last model, providing a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees before any contrast degradation.
The tv connects to the internet via the LAN port, offering a wide range of content including live video streaming from YouTube and DailyMotion as well as on-demand slideshows with Picasa. You can even check the news, sports, weather and stocks without having to leave your sofa.
It also connects to Twitter, keeping you up to date with your friends and social networks, and Skype which, when combined with the Skype USB 2.0 camera, allows video calling from the comfort of your living room.
Overall I found the tv was excellent, but for the price it really should be. At $1250 it's very expensive compared to its competitors and far exceeds the cost of a Sony Bravia. While it does earn its price tag with all the additional functionality, if that isn't what you're looking for you may want to look elsewhere. That said, it's a great little tv which will really suit a second bedroom or study. - 40723
