Panasonic VIERA X1 TC-L26X1Review - Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L26X1 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

We have a 50 "SXRD Rear Projection TV, where you pay more than $ 5000 for the state, including, I love television, but if the electric bill over $ 300.00, you must cut public services found. In addition, This television has replaced the projection lamp once a year at a cost of over $ 300! also discount local, this lamp is still over $ 250! that the body of this lamp per year. In a short time you spent enough to buy a brand new 40-50-inch LCD TV. Panasonic TV is not only smaller, but Energy Star, so that some should save on energy costs.

In the room, an old Toshiba 13 "CRT TV type, and the film was that it was not funny, which makes it a better time to replace a bedroom TV. Since I am retired and have low income, my budget was under $ 350, which corresponds perfectly to the budget. Check for lowest prices

I read somewhere that it should be the size of TV you buy should be based on the distance (in cm) of the TV, where you sit, divided by 2.5. After the completion of the distance, I use 80 ", were divided by 2.5 and 32 cm. A 32" TV would be perfect, but too big for that I wanted to sit, I left the TV and I I am a happy camper! Furthermore, it was beyond my budget! I wonder if this is your just another ploy for publicity, this is a larger entity? I think it works equally well from 3.

In comparison, Sony has a softer softer image while the image on the TV is alive and has more contrast. After working in an electronics store, I noticed that most people, a bright picture full of contrasts, when it comes to televisions and monitors prefer. I still prefer the Sony because the image is (for me) a little realism, but it's a small complaint.

One concern was the choice between a 720p and 1080p display. But from what I hear, that makes a difference on a larger TV (40 inches or more), but not so with the small screen. I am inclined to think that because they are all on the number of pixels (pixels IE), the distance between each pixel and its size. Have you ever noticed that the smaller of the old CRT TVs, the better the image quality?, Because (without being too technical), there is a fixed number of pixels horizontally and vertically on a CRT and the smaller, more points, the better the image. Done on the smaller screen, the pixels smaller and closer, making images clearer. The number of pixels in a big difference, but only to a certain extent. It was occupied by the region. In this size TV, 720P works well and you will not see much difference if 1080p.

Another concern was whether to buy a new DVD player. Connecting an old standard DVD player to an HDTV does not make sense. I was therefore necessary to consider a Blu Ray or to convert a DVD player. It 'was an easy decision, because we have about 2000 of the standard DVD. Replace all those involved with the Blu Ray would be equivalent to a high cost (about 10-20 Great), was one of these places to convert a DVD player, the obvious choice

So I bought the Sony DVP NS710H HDMI up-converting player, and combined with this TV, great works! The picture is superb, and I could not be happier. No, not as good as Blu Ray, but did not significantly improved the image of a standard DVD. However, the up-conversion only works if you using an HDMI cable. So be careful!

You can use the video out for PC, telly 15-pin VGA cable and the picture is quite good, but you need to adjust horizontal and vertical for the TV, and the resolution of graphics card. The native resolution of this TV is 1366 x 768, but you can see the different resolutions that your video card has to offer and try one for your needs. The process is fairly simple if you have the correct cables and have a 15-pin VGA output connector on your PC. But some of the latest graphics cards only have DVI outputs, so you need to get a DVI-VGA converter. When I put my Netflix movies on TV output

(Addendum dated 16 January 2010, I), now have a HD player for watching movies Roku Netflix and Amazon, and it works wonderfully. Now, I do not fight with mirror back and forth from computer monitors to television, has always been a pain, and the PC is unusable because it was used as a flux in the film. The only thing we have to remember is that you are some kind of router does not require access to the Internet and use an HDMI cable instead of the composite cable to get the best results.

As for the prospect of the poor, it is disturbing that the description of this television states that the viewing angle of 178 ° to obtain clear images even seen a corner. This is clearly not the case, as my TV is concerned. Be ', perhaps, to their point of view, because a clear picture is washed on an image, two different things. But again, it's a minor complaint, because, as often you want to see on the pages?

Image quality (when connected to cable, DSL, satellite)?
Very good, if you get a good reception from your supplier. But keep in mind that if your reception is bad, this TV will not improve image quality. In the print world, it is purely rubbish shouted. "This simply means that if you try and not copy an image or text to read, do not expect the copier suddenly clearer. I am not known whether the television, what you need for the image of" Scout, "but may also be possible in future. But now we know that all the terrestrial channels and one time only if they are TV-out, comes in.

Volume? Has much to a room. In fact, I had a little 'more than half and my wife was given another room on the ground floor, he asked me to do the volume. However, it is only 10-watt audio (output 5W 5 W) and the speakers are located below the left and right of the state. So this is a TV room or similar environment. It is not the main TV in a large room with a surround sound system connected. I did it on my 50 "Sony TV. It is not intended for a noisy environment like a garage while you are on your table saw or laundry or kitchen, while you leave the trash or run the dishwasher. No, it is intended to compete with the noise of others. So do not hesitate to place your purchase.

TV audio output of a sound or speak: it has a headphone jack, and please note that this can be done via an optical cable. Whatever you need to connect to an optical (Toslink) have input. You can purchase a converter to third parties, such as Geneva, but we know that does not convert the two versions (the cheapest model, Hi-Def (5-1 Dolby Surround) audio. Another option is to buy one of the MS Behringer speakers , which has an optical input.

Viewer SD card would have been nice if you have a USB port to the place where you can connect a flash drive or SD card reader does. There are many different types and sizes of SD cards, if you have not the right fit, does not work. For example, I used a Nikon D200 (SD card) and an Olympus Camedia C3040 camera (using a SmartMedia card), and neither fits into your TV card. I could buy the right size of an SD card, insert it into my SD card reader to transfer photos and go home, but because the additional cost and effort?

The iPod dock I have no iPod, but I'm willing to bet that is a very interesting feature that many people can. Many people out there with iPods! I hear the music Sandisk cheap, while I work outside or standing, and that's okay.

The controller: simple, large buttons for eyes tired READABLE Old read as mine! Two of my favorites are the last (before returning back from the Last viewed channel) and Mute (for these annoying ads!)

I know it's been a long discussion, but I hope I did not hit enough information for a decision to buy smart. I love this TV and recommend for its image quality, stylish and has not been too long that you could not touch an LCD TV of this price! Read more reviews
