With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Customer Review

I am not an expert on LCD TV, someone just needs a new TV. It will then be used in the bedroom, but now is in the family room. Although not a huge space, opens to the kitchen and the ceiling is arched. For months I studied reviews of the various models on the internet hoping to find, at least, to prevent manufacturers, problems that had service problems, along with the brand had the highest image quality rating. I also visited the showroom to seelooked better to my eye.

In my research I narrowed my search to a 720p, 1080p, because even if the price creates a superior image quality is not as critical on a 32-inch TV or smaller. To the extent that the new TVs, usually in March, was my intention to buy its way out and using the settlement price. Unfortunately I waited too long, and the two decisions that had to fire both were not available. TV meets my needs, was the price is right, and Panasonic has been one ofThe two brands that I had resolved on.

Handy and easy, out of the box all that was required by the State along with a few screws and then secure them with a few component for TV. I had a composite video / audio cable, which is good, because Panasonic does not include one. The cable consists of three male connectors at both ends – one red, one white and one yellow. Are not red and white for left and right audio and video, the yellow one. There are connectionsthe back of the box and cable TV with the same colors were so easily connected – Video output on the decoder and video to the TV. An additional step that I took to get my HD programming of local stations' was a basic indoor antenna by screwing the antenna in the name of the TV socket on the back-hook. Gave me two advantages – have been able to see the HD content in full HD without increasing the cost of my plan of basic cable – the cable and if I can do is watch TV.
<br/> I have the batteries (included) into the remote and turned on the TV. The first screen to the desired language (English, Spanish or French), next to "Display Mode – home use or store the demonstration choose asked. Then adjust the screen image has come and I would leave the default" Vivid (select Vivid, Standard, Movie, Game, or are available on request.) The darkness of the room will dictate what looks better, and the default settings are easily changed by clicking on the remote control – menu, tools,reset to default settings. Then you go to auto channel set-up, but if you use a cable, select "unused". If you have an antenna, select "Antenna" and then select "Start" to scan for channels. Next is an option for each of the inputs for the label – antenna, DVD player, cable box, etc. then the screen to set the clock for year, month, day, hour and minute. The completion message appears and you're done.

The TV is connected to a PC so it can be used as. Monitor I'm an episode of 24 during the Olympic Games. The website offers a view of the network of current season episodes, so I connected the HDMI cable from my laptop right in the TV HDMI port on the back. This allowed me to watch lost television episode, but my laptop's small screen.

The speakers are one-way 10 watt speakers and typical speaker on television. Note that there is no analog audio output or headphone jack. It is an opticaldigital audio output. I did not connect separate speakers and a receiver to improve the sound, at least not yet, but if the sound is a fundamental concern that you probably want to explore the possibilities.

The picture is absolutely fabulous and surprisingly, when a severe angle of view, there is no loss of quality. My only complaint is that the volume change is not essential as we rise. The TV has a maximum reasonable, but if the setting30 and it takes a little 'stronger, which can take up to 60 before you notice an increase in the sound. The steps seem too small.

The TV has a glossy "piano" black box, that some people feel is a maintenance problem, but fingerprints and dust thoroughly clean with a microfiber cloth and I like the look.

The set comes with a warranty of twelve months, but I bought an extended warranty for a further two years from Square Trade because it is a new model andsuch, has no history. I use the set for two weeks and so far is completely without problems, and I am very happy with the purchase, but I'll update the post if I encountered problems.

Great Bed Room TV – The Country Squire – In a Pin Oak Flat in Arkansas
I was looking for a bigger TV for the bedroom and chose 32-inch Panasonic for its image quality and reliability good I Have Another TV from Panasonic that I bought for my living room experience with a few years ago. The new Panasonic was purchased at Best Buy for $ 410 and is a new model for reviewing such substitution Consumer Reports, which was evaluated as a CR recommendation. The TV was easy to configure and image quality is great. This is the ideal size for a bedroom orTV room. The 720p is a 32-inch TV, 1080p is a nice set of this size or smaller is required.

Great HD TV at Bargain price – David Felder –
Panasonic Viera TCL32C22 bought the PC Richards at NY NJ area store unit. minimum price was $ 399, but I paid $ 349

Let me start by saying I own a video production company, so I sit watching TV all day. With HD-TV, the first time on the market, I was impressed with the quality. Further examination of more HD-TV I saw terrible artifacts due to MPEG-2 compression used to transmit signals.

After hooking up to my FIOS HD boxan HDMI cable and got the first channel I was on the YES network, because I know that will be sent to NY Yankees games in HD. I was very happy with the sharpness and colors impressed. There were no visible artifacts, even when sitting a few inches from the screen. I surfed through the channels in HD and found varying degrees of images. Some channels just stretch the image and suggest a "logo" HD on it, so you really need to get to a high definition broadcast trying to evaluate it.
<br/> The next step was to connect a DVD player with a set of analog component cables. I chose two DVDs: The BBC series "Planet Earth because of the beautiful photographs in it, and the Hollywood film" There Will Be Blood, "both for photography and sound.

"Planet Earth" is displayed in widescreen DVD / TV combination without me setting anything. From ten feet, the photos were beautiful. The color was rich and alive. Manufactures screen pages, black bloc wasobvious, but when I sat a few feet away, the MPEG-2 artifacts disappeared.

I uploaded "There Will Be Blood" in the DVD. The picture looked great and the sound was fantastic.

UPDATE July 22, 2010
Had a temporary problem, was not sure if the Blu Ray player, the FIOS box, or monitor Panasonic, but eventually discovered. Sometimes after the monitor was at least a couple of hours,the audio goes nuts. I can not describe how it sounds, dialogue descends to about 10% clay, in a voice-over-modulated distorted echo of the same dialog box (or other) plays about 90% of the soundtrack. It means that you can probably do dialog if you really listened carefully, but who wants to see a program like this?

At first I thought it was my DVD player. I recently purchased the Panasonic Viera Blu Ray Player(What's not, incidentally, is 100% compatible remote control) and I found still had time to watch a DVD the problem. The problem occurs even watch streaming video on Netflix Blu Ray.

Turn off your monitor, then again, remove the problem. Only, make sure you turn off the monitor with the FIOS remote because the remote monitor and Blu Ray (clear blue ray disc on the top menu).

Not yet decidedBut if the problem is severe enough to bring me back to TV. I did not have the box, and I'm sensing a lot of grief from the dealer. . .
