 Panasonic TX-26LMD70 TV - Beautiful TV! February 1, 2008

Put it this way - I have a Sony KDL32D3000 downstairs; bought the Panny for the bedroom and the Panny has the better picture. I like the Sony - to be honest in styling simplicity they lead the field - however in straight performance terms then Panny is superior, colours are superbly rendered and as for user friendliness - forget it - the menus on the Panny are both far easier to read and more intuitive to use. DVDs look superb on my Denon 3930, especially in 720p or 1080p. I would, however, recommend looking at the standard image settings. Pretty much as it is with my Sony - reduce brightness and sharpness, boost contrast and disengage all 'techy' settings (you know what i mean!) - ah, image heaven!
Forget what others say about the 100hz nonsense on the 26LXD70 - i know the 'motion pro' on my Sony makes the picture worse - seriously more blocky - the benefits of most of the recent 'spec' enhancements are speculative to say the least - in the end it is difficult to overcome deficiencies in the underlying technology.
Save your money and get the LMD70 - god knows money is getting tight enough as it is right now.
An amazing deal for a top tv! March 12, 2008

Well my first step into HDTV and i must say that this TV has far exceeded my expectations. I jumped at this TV as soon as I noticed the price drop to sub 450, and with express delivery it was with me in just 22 hours!.
One of my worries was the fact as I have a PVR which only has Scart outputs that the picture quality would be awful. When I first set the tv up, its was!, but with a little work with the settings and switching on Panasonic's noise reduction system it look almost as good as 1080p from my xbox!.
Here's a few of my favorite features, that you may not be aware of:
1. Controls of top of tv.
2. Side inputs inc headphones
3. Auto AV detection (switches over when the tv notices a new device)
......to be honest for £429! its an bargain!.

After reading the reviews on Amazon and double checking with the WHICH magazine for their review it became obvious the Panasonic LCD TV was the one to purchase. So purchased the TV via Amazon on the weekend and it arrived today (Tuesday) by 8am!! Well I can tell you that the reviews I read on this TV are spot on because this TV is superb in sound and vision! If after a 26" LCD TV then it's easy - GET THIS ONE!!!

Got this TV about 2 weeks ago from amazon and I'm really impressed with it so far. Very good picture and sound is excellent, too.
It's really easy to set up, just took it out of the box and plugged it in. Searches for available channels automatically. As we don't get Freeview the TV just got the 4 analogue channels that are available here. Will get Sky soon though, can't wait to be able to watch digital channels on this brilliant TV.
Plugging in things like DVD-Players is straighforward, and TV switches automatically to AV-channel when DVD is switched on. Again: Picture quality is brilliant! (Brightness, Contrast etc. can be adjusted to suit your own preferences) Sound is brilliant!
If you are looking for a reasonably priced LCD-TV I definitely recommend this Panasonic TV.
Cracking television - make sure you use HDMI May 27, 2008

I bought this TV for £420 in January to go with the EX77 HDD/DVD recorder. Once connected up with a decent HDMI cable it is brilliant. I really recommend that you invest in a HDMI cable. For a couple of days until the cable arrived they were connected by scart. The quality of the TV picture means that you really can tell the difference. It also stops any faffing around with RGB/Video/component settings.
The sound is also pretty good, without being truly stunning - but for quality music-based programmes I use my Quad amp and Mission speakers. The only gripe I have is that the phono audio outputs aren't controlled by the volume control. Just means I have to get off my backside to change the volume on my amp (no remote control!).
But I'm just being picky - and this won't effect many users.
It's really intuitive to use; it automatically gets the picture ratio right on older programmes (like old Top Gears on Dave). And, if you still prefer old Ceefax to the new one, you can still use the analogue tuner for that. I love the way you can go through the sub-pages at your speed, not having to read quickly in case it moves to the next one.
All in all a great television. At around the £420 mark it was terrific value for what is a premium product.
