Pros: It was stylish, AND UTTERLY BRILLIANT! I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED SUCH A GREAT PIECE OF ARTISTIC TECHNOLOGY BETTER THAN THIS. 10/10!

Cons: THERE WERE NONE, IT WAS ACTUALLY AMAZING IT MAKES VIEWING MUCH BETTER FOR ALL

Review: Overall, I am pleased with the Panasonic TX-L32D28BS TV. At the price, I would hope so. The picture is good, both digital receivers are good and the sound is good too. Even the largely unmentioned analogue tuner works well. HD is good including HD from my several external sources. Most functions appear to work very well, including connecting via wifi to my home network with the added [and pricey] dongle. I find the ability to view photos via the SD card slot and via a memory stick [flash drive] into a USB connection surprisingly useful. The TV accepts a USB hub perfectly to deal with that 2 USB port limit. It's pretty useless at dealing with almost all video files around via "Media Server" but OTOH, connecting my MacBook Pro straight into one of the HDMI ports means there's no problem playing computer video (or indeed pretty much anything) that way. That direct computer link was one of my major requirements and it works flawlessly. Viera Cast is pretty useless in range but what is there works fine. Very nice to have the page 7001 iPlayer beta functionality work very well on this TV. I understand Panasonic has still refused to implement it on 2009 models. The programme "Guides" work as required but for scheduling I tend to use the "Other Sat" option because Freesat doesn't include Sky News of course. Not Panasonic's fault. But who on earth at Panasonic thought it was OK to include those incredibly annoying advertisements in the DVB [terrestrial digital] TV guide [EPG]? They are so irritating I end up more or less never using the terrestrial EPG. Thankfully, there aren't any on the satellite EPG. As per usual I would have very much liked at least 2 more SCART sockets [apparently unobtainable from any other manufacturers either] and I have already run out of HDMI sockets even though I also used the Component Video connections for one VCR/DVD device. Now the serious bugs with the recording function when you have added the recommended hard disk via USB. I used the recommended by Panasonic brand and added a 1Tb drive. I can't quite believe that my new Panasonic TX-L32D28BS LCD TV with HD satellite and HD terrestrial built-in "tuners" has a Timer Programming limit of just 15 events. 15! Panasonic's response to my suggestion they increase this limit to (say) 45 via software upgrade was that "we have no intention of doing anything about it" and "nobody else has complained". [I programmed in a number of regular events I want to record day-in, day-out. [I'm a fan of Sky News and BBC News newspaper reviews so we are talking a number of short ones every day.] Add in a couple of weekly programmes going on at the moment and I *rapidly ran out of available slots*.] There's also the silly matter that if you schedule a programme recording (or even just a programme reminder without any recording instruction) via either EPG the TX-L32D28BS won't allow you access to the "record this weekly" or "record this daily" or "record weekdays" functions. There's a kludge way round this but it is not elegant. Panasonic's response to this bug has not been at all adequate. Then there's recording of radio. The TX-L32D28BS accepts the schedule to record radio. It behaves as if it is doing so. But in fact it doesn't. There's no sign of the recording - as Panasonic has confirmed. I DO NOT recommend you buy a hard drive to plug into the TX-L32D28BS as the TV's functionality in this area is just dreadful. YES LAD. - BUY THIS TV TODAY OR REGRET IT LATER.
