So it's finally time, you're going to give catching up with television technology a chance. If you're like most people, you really don't have much capital to expend right now, so odds are, you think you're not going to get really good quality if you get a cheaper high definition TV. You will be agreeably surprised when you check out the Panasonic Viera TX-L32S10. This is an entry level high definition TV that impresses most people who see it. Surely there are some negatives, but not many and they are far outweighed by the pluses.

Of people who have reviewed or commented on the Panasonic TX-L32S10, the biggest thing that comes up is the inability to calibrate the backlight and the colour from the main onscreen menu. It's a really simplistic menu, too simple for the more advanced users but not an issue for most of us.

With SD and 720p resolution, there is a 1 to 1 pixel mapping capability, making the clearest resolution possible. With this Panasonic TX-L32S10 1080p resolution, there is not 1 to 1 mapping but the quality is incredible. There is no edge enhancement but that doesn't seem to cause any issues, in fact, those using 60p games through xbox and their PS3's seem to really like this set.

Not being able to map at a 1 to 1 ratio causes an issue if you are trying to use the Panasonic TX-L32S10 as a monitor for your computer. You may have some issues with it if you're running heavy text applications but otherwise, you are not going to have any problems with this high quality HD television. You surely won't find this quality anywhere else for the price.

You may think that you're going to lose somewhere with this low priced set, probably with the sound quality. However, once again, you'll be pleasantly surprised. The sound quality is great, especially when you look at the placement of the speakers - pointing slightly downwards. Panasonic was obviously trying to make front presentation as good as possible on the Panasonic TX-L32S10 but they could have taken a little more consideration when it came to placement. However, this doesn't cause any lack of quality sound.

The quality of sound on the Panasonic TX-L32S10 is incredible, especially considering the placement of the speakers. A little more thought could have been given to the placement but it is obvious that Panasonic was attempting to point the speakers out so that viewing from the front of the TV would be perfect.

Anyone wishing to improve the sound production to make the viewing experience on the TX-L32S10 more like going to the cinema can add a high quality home theatre sound system or a surround system with ease.

Let's face it, this is a very basic, entry level HD television. However, the Panasonic TX-L32S10 is full of surprises. I really can't believe the low price that you pay for this high of quality images. You will find that there is sharpness with this model that you just don't find elsewhere, especially not for the price. If you are one who has issue with slight colour issues, you may be unhappy with the redness of skin tones, but again, it is really not an awfully big issue. Most people will never notice it. Just keep in mind that you're getting an awful lot for a little price tag.
