Panasonic TC-L32DT30 REVIEW

Panasonic TC-L32DT30 WONDERFUL 3D TV.
I've owned and seen a lot of TVs in my lifetime. When I was searching for a midrange TV, something around 30 to 42 inches for the den, honestly the Panasonic wasn't my first choice (because I didn't know about it). I started with the Samsung UN32C6500. This was a 32 inch LED TV that had a very pretty design and the picture quality was okay but it just wasn't enough and it was way too overpriced. I sold that TV and then looked elsewhere. I looked at Sony, LG, Samsung, and Panasonic LED TVs. That was when I found out the DT30 series. This is the first time Panasonic has jumped into the LED TV fray, so it was difficult to find reviews and information on the TV. The reviews that I had read had only good things to say about the series. The design wasn't as sleek as the Samsung that I had or the one that I was also looking at (the UN40D6400) so I was unsure of what to buy. The difference came down to picture quality. To be frank, I didn't think that I would be paying attention to color reproduction and picture quality as much as I am now with this new Panasonic. I don't mean that in a bad way, this Panasonic produces some of the best color, black levels, and image that I have ever seen and it continues to amaze me even after the first month. Combined with essentially an all in one package, this is an wonderful TV.

Panasonic TC-L32DT30 Fantasic TV
I've only had the set for less than 24 hours and I'm greatly satisfied with it. The colors are very rich. The audio is decent. You have to adjust the treble and bass to get the sound to sound good. Most complaints, from reviewers complaining about the sound quality being bad, is due to the TV's default setting is flat. This set has the feature to boost the bass. Any who... The TV is connected to a TiVo Premier box. They work fantastically together. It The TV comes with WiFi ready. I haven't tried out the 3D. I have a player on order. I will update this review once I get the player.

Panasonic TC-L32DT30 Impressed With EVERYTHING - A Gamer's Review
I originally ordered this set in Mid-May and had it shipped via Amazon Prime, It arrived in a very timely manner and I immediately unboxed it and hung it on my wall.

The first thing I did was plug everything in and make sure it works. It did without problem. I ended up having to go out and on the way home rented a 3D Movie to play via Playstation 3 to the television. I got home, popped it in, set up the 3D glasses and settings and was AMAZED at how great the picture was. The blacks are truly BLACK (To the point where all black screens made me do a double take, thinking I turned the television off) and the colors were vibrant. I bought this blindly thinking "Hey 3D Might be cool" but have to say I am completely hooked on it now!

The next day I plugged in my laptop via HDMI and ran a few tests, Input lag and dead pixels mainly (Input lag will be covered later). I noticed a problem...

Two dead pixels, One fully black on red images and the other black no matter the color.

Panasonic VIERA TC-L32DT30  FANTASIC HDTV.
I bought this tv to replace my bedroom tv, which was previously a 32" LG. The color on this TV is very vibrant and bright and has nice picture all in all.
The 2d->3d feature is borderline useless. It adds very little depth at the cost of brightness, clarity, and sharpness. The 3d feature itself is nice, however I have yet to watch an actual 3d Blu-Ray movie on it due to the limited selection presently. The only actual 3d supported media is with Black Ops and Killzone 3 (both ps3 games) and on those it adds a very nice 3d effect, but once again i find it more of a novelty as it doesnt actually help you in any way shape or form and just ends up tiring out my eyes, but still a nice feature.
The 240hz reduces motion blur alot more but doesnt get rid of it completely. It is leaps and bounds better than my old 60hz LG and 120hz Samsung however. (I had a side by side comparison with my LG and Samsung watching the Masters)
The picture options were plentiful and allows you to change all the hues and colors to your liking. The remote is sorta cheap (arent they always?) but it gets the job done. It is missing a profile button on the remote though (the button that changes from Standard, Cinema, Custom, Vivid etc...) and I find it annoying to go into the menu everytime to change it. (I like to play games on a higher brightness than when watching TV).
I do wish the power cord was independent of the TV but thats not really a big concern.
The slim frame of the TV is very nice and looks amazing if you hang it on the wall. The IPS Panel is very glossy and gets dirty VERY easily (fingerprint/dust magnet). I find this TV very glare resistant too, much more so than my old LG. The auto brightness calibrator is very good too, especially at night.

On a side note I also use to TV as my laptop monitor since my laptop has hdmi out and initially there was no sound and i had to update my VIDEO card drivers to get sound back. So if you have that problem try updating as this is a really new TV Model. (4/15/2011)

All in all for the $1044 its totally worth it and a fantastic 3d TV.

Panasonic VIERA TC-L32DT30 GREAT 3D TV.
first i want to apologize in advance for my english.second this is a beautiful 3dtv.i want to say that the 2d picture is just beautiful.but also i was looking for a second 3dtv. after buying the panasonic plasma tc-p54vt25 last december(this plasma tv has just the best 3d picture of them all,and came with the avatar 3d starter kit 2 3d glasses and avatar 3d.).i was looking for a smaller and least expensive 3dtv.i tried a sony 46 inches 700 series,and a panasonic plasma 42 inches gt25 series and both had ghosting (the panasonic not much)but especially the sony had a lot of it,so i had to return those sets to my local electronics store.in this tv the ghosting just dont exist.i think in my humble opinion(im not an expert) this is just the closest thing (if not the same) to the tc-p54vt25's beautiful 3d picture.also this tv comes with a pair of 3d glasses.i have already watched avatar3d and alice in wonderland3d.of course im gonna watch other 3d movies that i already have.at last but not least also 5 stars to amazon great sevice,great prices.

Panasonic TC-L32DT30 Best Price, SUPER QUALITY TV.
super quality TV set in every way and good looking, too
picture is flawless, colors are beautiful and rich from any source and there are many ways to set and to adjust images to taste
built is speakers have very good sound and volume
this TV stands out on the shelf among the others like it does not belong there
cannot be beat in any way and once you see the picture it will sell itself

I'm glad I traded my 37 inch LG 37LE5300 for this one,
it is a much better TV and well worth the little extra cost

plenty of inputs with USB ports and SD card slot
VIERA LINK controls and works with other enabled devices (blue-ray, dvd, camcorder, Lumix cameras) with using the TV remote only is a nice bonus and very convenient
easy Internet connection with good content
3D is perfect with the included glasses on a panasonic blue-ray player
side angle view at about 45 degrees is almost as sharp as looking at it head on - a huge plus for me
there is not one thing wrong with this set that i could think of
make sure to fully update it when powered up

no regrets I bought it, I wish I had room for a bigger one


Panasonic TC-L32DT30 Best Price, BEST TV.
I just received my 37" DT30 from Panasonic this past weekend. I purchased it from Amazon Warehouse in "like new" condition for a SUBSTANTIAL discount. The TV arrived in excellent condition and was, indeed, like new (except for the packaging). I purchased this TV to replace a 32" Sharp 720p TV in the bedroom. I choose the DT30 because it was essentially a 37" tv that has the dimensions of a 32" tv and was able to fit in my wife's armoire (which I would ditch and put an even larger tv in its place if it were up to me). I have to say though that, for a 37" tv, this Panny really packs a big picture. The image quality is truly jaw dropping right out of the box. The color gamut is remarkable and vibrant. The blacks are inky dark and even in high contrast scenes, I saw no evidence of blooming of flashlighting that is often complained about on some other LED-LCD TV's like the Samsung UN40D6500. The IPS panel makes a huge difference--there is no meaningful loss of clarity in the picture when watching from wide angles. This is a TV designed with gamers in mind. According to many of the techies that post on AVS Forum, the tv's 2ms response time is no joke and there is absolutely no lag on this tv. For gaming this is the number one tv on the market period.


Panasonic TC-L32DT30 Best Buy, AMAZING TV!!
This tv will blow you away. It seems to have everything. It does not have the ability to use the "passive" type glasses for 3D. You are forced to purchase the "Active Shutter" type of glasses. These are alot more expensive. The other problem is that the remote is using IR signals that are hard to duplicate. This is an issue if you plan on haveing a remote programed to replace the need for multiple remotes. I use a Logitech and it is able to be updated via internet. Even with that capibility i have been unable to duplicate its signal. This is the first time i have experienced this problem. As far as price is concerned! You can get a much larger 3D TV for the price. I needed a TV that would fit in a 29.6 inch opening and was forced to purchase this unit. There are 65in units available in the same price range. If you do buy this one make sure you adjust the sound from the factory settings. It will sound pretty bad when you first plug it in. And unfortunatly they thought it would be a good idea to put the plug ins and jacks up high on the TV. It does cause the need for longer cables.
