+ Clear picture, easy to operate.

An excellent picture and sound quality. It also fits perfectly into our TV cabinet!

-
As yet, not a single bad point.

+ Easy to set up.

- Slightly blurry on some stations. Not on digital yet though.

+ Much less bulky than my previous TV. Easy to instal. Can view digital channels with Freeview box.

- On/off switch does not always work first time.

+ Looks good, great picture, reasonable sound for the speaker size.

- A 4:3 picture is shown in 16:9 without the black side bars resulting in a horizontally stretched picture which I find annoying, however it is manually alterable using the Aspect button to display 4:3 with side bars. There is an Auto mode which implies that it should do 4:3 with side bars automatically but it doesn't.

+ loved everything about this tv, stylish, brilliant picture 10 out of 10

- None

+ Picture and sound quality is quite good, however as I cannot yet receive Freeview in my area I am not reaping benefit of it's image quality.

- No bad points to mention at present.

+ Overall presentation & clarity of vision & speech

- Remote can be confusing particularly when using Panasonic DVD recorder ... which to use & when

+ Excellent picture and sound quality. Easy to wall mount. Extremely easy to set up. Compatible with other Panasonic equipment I have.

- None come to mind.

+ sturdy stand
not black piano finish so forgives dust and finger prints

- Remote is mediocre - buttons are not well placed or designed for ease of use (i.e mute is within main nunber key square and not isolated/coloured I've used other TV's with far better remote design / layaout
What's on screen menu could be better - has unwanted and unecessary adverts but works well enough

+ The television is perfect for our small sitting room. The picture and sound quality are very good.

- None

+ Easy to set up and use.
Good range of programs with freeview

- Program Guide: Menu of programs is divided up into relatively small blocks.
We have a sony as well with much better menu which facilitates choice

+ everything

- on off switch a bit difficult

+ Reviewer left no comment

- TV has to be on or on standby to enable recording. Old TV could be off to do this.

+ very deep, good sound. nice aesthetic look.

- handles black only fairly - -- not deep enough

+ Controls easy to use, excellent picture and sound

- Nothing

+ Instruction booklet written for technophobes so great for me. TV very easy to set up. Adjusting picture quality easy with good results. An extremely good TV and excellent value for money.

- None

+ Good and solid, easy setup, sharp picture, fantastic for gaming

- Not many

+ Picture and sound are good. Easy to set up. Good second TV.

- Frame is a bit on the large side compared with some other makes.

+ Easy to set up, good size, like the way it automatically changes to the optimal viewing ratio.

- It was not compatible with our video and DVD recorder... when this was used the image was a sickly green hue. There was no problem with the machine on our old television (which died), or our spare one, but when connected to an HD ready tv it did this. I feel that mention should be made about compatibility, as I've now had to spend rather a lot of money buying a new DVD recorder and video.

+ A quality product. Easy to set up. Good, clear, easy to use TV guide.

- None

+ Excellent picture via bhigh gain digital aerial in reasonable signal strength location.Good looking design.Price very competitive.Easy enough auto installation.

+ Great design

- None

+ Easy to setup and easy to use.Sound great through external speakers.

- No bad points as yet.

+ Good set-up process (auto), picture and general functioning. Panasonic is usually reliable.

- Could do with another scart socket. Casing/frame is a little wide. Remote text button isn't very responsive
(I may seek replacement)

+ Elegant design, wonderful clear picture, easy to follow set up instructions, a joy to watch; the screen doesn't need to be any larger.

- None

+ Design; easy to use

- Is it just my own or do they tend to pixellation in the first 5-10 mins of being switched on?

-
Would have been better on a swivel base

+ Very good product from all points of view.

- None

+ easy to use - auto tune in / set up

- occasionally some details out of screen

- None so far

+ good value for money

- takes ages to come on when switched on

+ Easy set up, excellent picture, good sound.

- Could be more stable. Manual not easy to follow, too much technical jargon (not uncommon with loads of new technology). Not enough practical information on connecting peripherals i.e. VHS /DVDrecorder etc.
