| 5 / 5 | It's all about the picture quality
Rimmerabroad "R.a" (UK) - 10 June 2008 Is it just me, or is the main selling point of most LCD TVs that they look fantastic when they're switched off? Switch em on, and unless you're running a HD source, they look awful: hideous pixellation, unnatural colours, blurred motion, etc. Not that that has stopped the vast majority of people squandering their disposable income on one. In the UK, keeping up with the Joneses - in fact, outdoing the Joneses by buying the biggest screen you can afford, even if it dwarfs everything else in your living room, has become a national sport. I begrudgingly had to join the LCD fold a few weeks ago when my trusty old Toshiba CRT packed up after about 18 years of loyal service. I made sure I shopped around, read reviews, listened to advice from experts in shops, and viewed a fair few models - mainly Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, and Pioneer. Without a doubt, this Panasonic was in a field of its own when it came to picture quality. And when it comes down to it, isn't that what makes a good TV? OK, Panasonic may not be the sexiest badge, and maybe some other sets do look a bit nicer when they're switched off, but who cares? My set is hooked up to a non-HD signal, but even so, the picture quality is comparable to a good CRT set - in some respects it's better, actually. Fast-moving images are totally blur- and flicker-free (that'll be the 100Hz, I guess); whites are Persil-white, and blacks are like Hotblack Desiato's ship in Hitchiker's Guide - really, really black, man. I'll be honest, there are a couple of minor annoyances: the remote control doesn't always work brilliantly if it's more than 8ft from the set; the remote control layout takes a good couple of weeks to get used to; and whoever worked on the layout and the wording in the instruction manual wants shooting. Luckily you won't need to refer to the manual more than once, as the on-screen menus are straightforward and the initial setup is a doddle. These few minor annoyances don't detract at all from the satisfaction I get every time I switch the TV on and admire the picture quality. If you're looking for a TV that gives great picture, you can stop looking. If you're more concerned about having one that turns heads when it's switched off, go ahead and buy a 50" Samsung, cram it into your living room - get rid of a sofa if necessary - and then invite your friends round to stand and watch. Just don't be surprised if they look pityingly at you when you actually turn the set on. ... Read Full Review » |
| 5 / 5 | Great piece of kit
J. Pendleton (Oxford, UK.) - 25 May 2008 Having bought this screen just over a week ago, with the minimum of reviews available, i must say that i'm extremely impressed with it. Setup was simple but with enough adjustments to keep your average videophile amused, if only for a short while. There are some very slight issues with "whiting" in corners (from backlight) when displaying completely black screen.....pretty marginal though and not distracting. SD TV performance is fine when viewed beyond a distance of 6' or so. DVB tuner is simple to navigate with the option of using a top-up TV card for extra channels. Sound seems ok but for the most part i'm running external a/v sources through a 5.1 system. The internal BBE Viva system seems perfectly adequate for TV purposes and has several settings for music/speech etc with a decent amount of "ooomph". Colours are rich and vivid and blacks are the deepest i've seen on an LCD screen. Fast moving images are extremely smooth and Panasonic's 100hz Motion Picture Pro 2 + V-Real 3 tech appears to work a treat. My current highest-def input is my Xbox 360 @ 1080i via component video and the upgrade from my old system (Sanyo PLV-Z4 projector @ 720p) is quite startling. Vivid and even Normal picture presets are so vastly more defined, clear and smooth that i'm quite happy running it in Cinema or even Eco mode for the time being. Comparing this set to friend's HD Ready screens is a happy experience and i honestly believe that this is probably the best 32' LCD screen currently on the market. You pay a premium for kit like this but it's certainly money well spent! Can't wait to get the full HD experience from Blu-Ray @ 1080p/24p. ... Read Full Review » |
| 5 / 5 | It's good
phl8pg (Yorkshire) - 24 May 2008 I cannot fault this TV. Picture and sound are both great. Pretty versatile in that it has all the inputs and output I require. It looks nice too. My only complaint is with Amazon choosing City Link to deliver the item. Without instruction/permission City Link left my new TV with at a house over the road with a bloke I have never met. City Link did not even ask him for a signature. I recommend unless you know and trust your neighbours you opt for Super delivery or first class or whatever its called - anything that will require a signature and a specified delivery date....

| 5 / 5 | Absolutely Fantastic TV
A. M. Sibley (UK) - 15 August 2008 I will not beat around the bush and talk in all the techno-babble that you see in some reviews. All I will say is that the picture on this set it stunning! The sound is great to, I have cable TV running through it, as well as Freeview and I have no complaints whatsoever. The kids love hooking up the Nintendo Wii to it as well, and there are still loads of connections available. I bought this TV after seeing one review of it in a magazine, and I'm glad I did. If you want a TV that looks and sounds great, then look no further. I bought it when it was £779, but I see that it has since been reduced. What a bargain! Go on, buy one, you know you want to!!...

| 5 / 5 | Among the best
Sighn - 16 September 2008 Had this TV for just over a week now and must say that it is quite an exceptional set: Motion handling is top notch. You will not see much better handling of motion, on an LCD, at the moment. There is virtually no visible blur at any time. Full resolution is maintained where I would expect motion to have an LCD TV stumble. Input lag is low enough to be undetectable when playing videogames (even the Wii's pointer). This, alongside the sharp motion-handling, makes the lzd85 an ideal lcd for occasional gaming. This also means you can have an AV device directly connected to a separate amplifier without worry of sync issues between audio and video. Black response is good. Black areas appear black, as opposed to grey, with dark details maintained. Again something that can be appreciated not just when watching movies, but also when playing games. I mostly watch SD programs via the built-in Freeview tuner. I also have a standalone Freeview set-top box with upscaler (connected via RGB scart though). Comparing the two, the set-top box displays a sharper picture whereas the built-in tuner shows a cleaner picture. In fact, the picture is exceptionally clean with little to show in the form of blocky artefacts. Audio is impressive. Considering this is an LCD television, sound can be full of strength with fine treble. Though I have mine connected to a Hi-Fi system I find the TV speakers perfectly sufficient for my bedroom. Stereo separation is decent in pseudo-surround modes. Nothing is perfect though: A various number of connections but picture settings are not remembered per input. You can have two different settings where one is for the built-in tuners and the other for connected devices. Audio setting is universal over all inputs/tuners Built in Freeview is very clean but at the cost of small visual details. I'd expect the mainstream consumer to prefer the way this TV handles it's Freeview video, but why not give the consumer the choice to have such a filter on or off? VGA input limited to 1366x768. Stereo Phono-In has to be used for audio input, from a computer, if the video cable is video-only (no dedicated PC Audio-In). Definitely one of the better LCD TVs on the market that excels in both picture and audio quality. Recommended! Other points +Quality 1080p picture expresses sharp and clear images with rich colours +Wealthy number of inputs including optical/headphone/stereo-phono output +Freeview guide is responsive and easy to navigate +Swivels (hidden under base) - turn the TV enough and you'll feel it +Remote control layout and simple on-screen layout +HDMI 1 auto switches to the connected device when activated +No light-bleed of any sort (common problem) or noticeable dead pixels +Compatible with Freeview TV Top Up card +Child Lock individual channels and inputs +No viewing angle problems at all +Password & personal details entry for cases of theft -No pixel mapping for all resolutions -Remote control must be pointed towards the IR-receiver -Interpolated (calculated) motion not always applicable -Forced sharpening means poor computer display...
