Hey, just a word of warning about SAMSUNG and SONY,
Read several reviews of SAMSUNG LCDs and you will find that yes they have a gorgeous picture, but they often STOP WORKING within a year or two, and the reviews report that their CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE.
I have read some reviews for comparable SONY LCDs again a somewhat decent product but many have complained of EXPENSIVE REPAIRS AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES.
Panasonic on the other hand has a great reputation for CUSTOMER SERVICE.
I am planning on buying this TV for my Mom for her bedroom.
I have a Panasonic 46″ Plasma and I LOVE IT. BTW THE BEST PLASMA ON THE MARKET NOW THAT PIONEER IS DEAD.

Very good quality, much better than my Sony. The unit powered up with minor user inputs and required NO adjustments as the picture and sound were perfect.
J&R also added extra packing material which protected the tv from UPS’s shipping and rough handling. The box did not fare as well.

I recently purchased 3 different 32 inch LCDs. The first was a Samsung LN32B360C5D. Its a 32 inch 720p LCD with a 60hz refresh rate. After seeing a friends LCD with a 120hz I was hooked and quickly took mine back to best buy to upgrade to the 1080p 120hz Samsung LN32B640. Now this was a gorgeous LCD! Absolutely stunning. So good in fact that watching regular DVD through a blu ray player on this LCD was… AWESOME!! I was sold on 120hz rate even more. Old DVD after old DVD was brought back to life with an amazing 3D quality that was outstanding. But the price for this unite was 800. Almost double what I paid for my original Samsung.
SO… After watching both LCDs… one at 720p and the other at 1080p I decided that it was not the HD quality but the extra hz rate (120hz) that did the trick. Dont get me wrong. 1080p is better than 720p even at 32 inch. Marginal but the sharpness is with out a doubt there. So I decided that I could do without the 1080p as long as I could get the 120hz and maybe save a few bucks. Which led me to this LCD.
Panasonic VIERA G1 Series TC-L32G1 32-Inch 720p 120Hz LCD HDTV.
Is the picture as good as either of the Samsungs. NO. Definitely not. The 120hz works well with Blu Ray movies but not on regular DVDs like the 1080p Samsung. This has disappointed me the most. I know a lot of people out there dont like what this refresh rate does to film, or better yet how it makes film look like a soap oprea. Myself I LOVE IT. Think its just great. Gives older movies a new lease on life! This LCDs 120hz though just doesnt cut it. In fact it doesnt seem to work at all?!! I dont understand why but you dont get the depth that you get with the Samsung at all that also has the 120hz. I watched the same movies on both TVs through the same DVD player and the Panasonic sucks compared to the Samsung. No other way to put really, sorry. If someone knows something I dont PLEASE inform me.
For you out there that dont care about 120hz but want a 32 inch LCD. Go for the Samsung LN32B360C5D. Great picture… much better than this Panasonic model. Those of you that want a 32 LCD with 120hz. Well if you can afford the extra money again grab the other Samsung LN32B640. You will not be disappointed. If you are like me and am restricted by your budget… This will have to do. Plus it isnt as easy to return stuff you buy through Amazon as it is with Best Buy. I cant be bothered to box up a 3rd TV in less than a month and then pay for the shipping fees. Hope this helps.

We bought this TV for our bedroom, and it we like it very much. The set is easy to set up, and the picture is great. Based on some other reviews, we were concerned about the sound being too weak. The speakers are small and are at the bottom. We listened to the TV in several stores and had the turn the volume way up (more than other brands) to hear it clearly. However, at home this is no problem at all.
Our one big complaint is the remote, of all things. It cannot be used to control any other device. For example, you can’t use it to turn on a satellite receiver. The TV remote is the only device that can select the input for the TV. So if you want to switch between satellite and VCR, you need to use the TV remote. But once satellite is chosen, you need to use the satellite remote to switch satellite channels. It gets worse if you want to use features on the VCR remote (e.g., search). This is not a problem with the remote for a 2-year-old 50″ Panasonic TV we own. We called Panasonic about this under-featured remote, and we were told to fax our concern to a number, and maybe they would send us a better remote. After doing that and hearing nothing, we called Panasonic again and were basically told “Are you crazy? We don’t do that.” So the choice is to either use multiple remotes or buy a better one yourself.
