A great LCD TV picture needs lots of two things: pixels and video processing power. Panasonic's 32" TC-32LX60 aces both of those requirements. Its high pixel count (1366 x 768) is more typical for a 50" plasma - on this smaller screen, the result is pinpoint-sharp detail. Panasonic's advanced color processing technology applies color correction on the fly, reproducing skin tones and other shades with greater realism. The new advanced LCD AI enhances picture contrast by increasing the gradation steps according to the displayed scene. Increased steps of gradation in white areas articulate minute differences for a realistic picture. Likewise, increased steps of gradation in dark areas enhance the sharpness and crispness in blacks. resulting in improved contrast and superior picture quality.
Along with the clean picture, this set has a new clean, sleek and slimmer design that will look right at home in your bedroom or living room. The built-in TV tuner gives you access to all of your standard broadcast and cable channels, and when you're ready to move up to high-definition programs, simply connect an HDTV tuner supplied by you cable or satellite provider.
The TC-32LX60 offers a generous array of hookup options, including three composite inputs, two S-video inputs, one component video input, plus a pure-digital HDMI input for use with an HD tuner or "upconverting" DVD player. Key Features:
