With the TC-L32U3 32" Class VIERA U3 Series 1080p LCD TV, Panasonic joins the growing number of manufacturers touting LED as tomorrow's technology available today. The vivid contrast, low operating cost, slim design and environmentally friendly attributes of LEDs are well known but recent strides in backlighting technology backed by decreasing cost have made these TVs increasingly popular.
The magic starts with the IPS (In Plane Switching) Panel which provides optimal quality even when viewed (178°) off axis. Videophiles will be able to have all the benefits of the movie theater at home with 24p Cinematic Playback, which recreates the look of movies shot for the theater screen at 24 frames-per-second with an unprecedented smoothness.
The TC-L32U3's wide connectivity includes 3 HDMI connections, component, composite and PC inputs. There's even an SD media card slot to screen videos or JPEG slide shows. And speaking of connectivity, VIERA Link allows you to control all of your compatible devices from a single remote instead of a basket full of them.
Convenience features include Game Mode which optimizes your TV's performance for the lightening-fast world of gaming, a trilingual menu and Closed Caption Decoding; for noisy environments like gyms or for the hearing impaired.
