The TX-L32E5B is one of Panasonic’s new LED TVs in the 2012 VIERA range. It doesn’t have the 3D capabilities and features of its bigger siblings, but it still packs a punch. Read on to learn more about this excellent 32-inch set.
The Panasonic TX-L32E5B uses a technology called Backlight Scanning. This gives you a 150Hz image refresh rate with a mega contrast ratio. It has an IPS LED display that gives you sharp clarity across the entire spectrum so you get brilliant colors and deep blacks while you watch. You get smooth, sharp images every time, even as the tempo increases on the screen.
One of the benefits of having a 32-inch LED TV is that it will fit perfectly into any room without looking out of place or incongruous. The TX-L32E5B is large enough for the living room, yet compact enough for a bedroom or kitchen. However, you still get fantastic Full HD 1080p screen quality whether you’re watching Blu-ray discs or using the Freeview HD tuner. Several HD channels are available these days for free without having to subscribe to a cable or satellite provider. These include BBC HD, ITV HD and 4 HD.
Since the Panasonic TX-L32E5B is Wi-Fi ready and uses Panasonic’s VIERA connect system, there are a multitude of multimedia options at your disposal. Add a dongle to one of the two USB inputs and you have a worldwide network of wireless entertainment to immerse yourself in. Some of the smart apps include BBC iPlayer, Facebook, LoveFilm, Twitter and YouTube and many more are free to download. There are numerous apps for all ages and interests. If you don’t already have a wireless connection at home, don’t worry, as there’s an Ethernet port for connecting and connecting.
The Panasonic TX-L32E5B is DLNA-enabled, so you can easily share, view, watch, and listen to files from any PC or laptop on your network. The integrated SD card reader allows you to view images from your digital camera, ideal for family gatherings. Things have developed and progressed a lot since the days of vacations being shown on a projector! Similarly, files and photos can be viewed from a memory card via a USB port.
As expected, the Panasonic TX-L32E5B has a large number of connections and inputs/outputs. These include an optical digital output, a component video input, a composite video input, a headphone output, and the aforementioned USB clamp. A quartet of HDMI inputs means easy access to any high-definition device you want to connect.
From a listening perspective, the TX-L32E5B offers very respectable audio quality. This is aided by V-Audio Pro Surround sound that pumps out 20 watts of power from the speakers. For the most purists, a sound bar will be the order of the day to improve the sound and get the bass that many flat screen televisions lack.
The Panasonic TX-L32E5B is a great choice if you’re looking for a 32-inch LED TV that’s packed with features yet easy to use. Coming up to the £400 mark, it’s worth considering.
