Comments about Panasonic TC-L32C12 Viera LCD TV:
Hung on the wall at the foot of the bed, 32" 720p seems just right. (1080p would be overkill--you'd have to sit much closer to detect the difference.) We really like the clean, narrow, piano black frame and the picture really pops. The product data wasn't clear about the wall mount, but it's a standard 200 x 200. The menus work intuitively, with one exception: we use the sleep timer which requires menu-down-down-down-timer-sleep-right-right instead of a single button. I was pleased, though, when we connected our computer (HDMI) and found that when the computer stopped playing video and eventually went to screensaver, the TV detected the inactivity and shut itself down. We don't really need the 'Sleep' function, most of the time. Oh, and I saw reviews that faulted the sound quality--we're not too picky, but there's nothing wrong with the sound. Very pleased with B&H[...]

Comments about Panasonic TC-L32C12 Viera LCD TV:
I watch TV a lot and have a 42" Panasonic Viera 1080i HDTV in my living room. I decided to buy this 32" TV for my bedroom. For 99% of people, this TV is a great TV. I see no problems with the picture (looks as good as my bigger TV in my Living Room), and for the people complaining about the sound... they are crazy. I usually have the sound set at 20 and it goes all the way up to 100. Overall... Great TV for a good price.

Hookups: Xbox 360 via HDMI;
HD Cable box via HDMI;
TiVo Series 2 via S-video
The screen is great. The reduction in cable clutter cannot be over emphasized. I went from 2 x comp+stereo (xbox & cable box) down to 2 cables. I have a very confined corner entertainment unit, and freeing up the cables was extremely helpful.
The sound is good. Previous tv used external speakers, but the built-ins of the panasonic don't sound any different.
My only (minor) complaint is the image is a little darker/contrasty than I'm used to, so I really had to crank it down, but that's more of a personal preference. The image quality overall is fantastic. I have two plasmas in the house as well, so I'm not seeing an HD image for the first time. This is a good display.

Comments about Panasonic TC-L32C12 Viera LCD TV:
This is my first LCD TV, and I love it -- very well priced, easy to set up, great picture quality, and very good sound. We're not interested in putting a movie theater in our small NYC living room, so this 32" does the trick. No negatives that I can see. We've had it since last May; no problems whatever. And Panasonic is a very reliable company -- I've always been happy with their products, which seem to last forever.

GREAT with a home theatre system.

Excellent value. Couldn't believe how easy it was . . .[...] take it out of the box and plug it in. Good picture and sound quality. Perfect for family room setting. Have used now for three weeks, no problems yet!

Comments about Panasonic TC-L32C12 Viera LCD TV:
I baught this tv for a bedroom, great size for this type of room. Picture is great, colors are fantastic and the hd outstanding, looks like a window on a wall...
Set up is easy, remote is quite understandable and allows for some programming.
The tv is also light to carry which can be nice too.
The only problem i can see is the sound. Ok only when you try loud, otherwise the sound quality is very nice but this is not a tv to watxh a game with friends.
Overall, i am very glad to have it and b&h had it for the cheapest.
This is my second hd flat screen, the first one is a pioner and the panasonic has the same quality.

Comments about Panasonic TC-L32C12 Viera LCD TV:
This tv was light enough for my mother to carry and set up herself and easy to set up too. Good contrast ratio, little bit of motion pixelation.
Comments about Panasonic TC-L32C12 Viera LCD TV:
I bought this for my office. I think for the 32" screen, you certainly can get 720p, and still have a great looking picture.
