There is no official thread, so I'll just throw in my two cents. Won't comment on PQ - fine with me. For those ehh... not IT-oriented ;-) - keep in mind that 720p TV is ALREADY more than a regular DVD can output, so don't expect picture to look better than on properly working CRT TV. If you play HD DVD or Blueray - oh yes, this will be a boost.
Back to grumbling:
1) What idiot designed built-in speakers firing down and back? Yes, they are facing down - to the desk, and not towards you - but towards the wall behind the TV. Almost down, with few degrees angle up towards the rear wall. I reduced the Bass and increased the Tremble, but it is still echoing sometimes like in a shoebox. And this is a TV that cost almost $500 a few moths ago, from such a reputable brand as Panasonic?
2) A lot of lag when switching inputs via designated button on remote or on TV set. If you have to go 5 clicks to change from TV input to PC input, you go - click... wait 2 seconds ... - click again, and so on - 5 times. If you click quickly like you used to, only the first click will register. OTH, if you enter the Inputs menu and scroll Up/Down via navigation keys, you can click as fast you wish, there is no lag (when you stop scrolling, the will be a lag before the chosen input kicks in, but this is less annoying).
Both drawbacks are not enough to replace the TV with another one - I'm convinced this is a good 32" model for the price ($400 currently), just to let you guys know of these features that nobody wrote about.
