If you are seriously comparing Panasonic LCD television sets, and a 32” diagonal screen is what you have in mind, you are going to have to compare the LX60 package here with the LX600 package. The biggest difference may be in price. The LX60 is going to put out a picture that is going to be hard to differentiate from the LX600 unless you are an extremely hard to please viewer. There is the same high pixel count from the 1366 x 768 resolution, and the progressive scan 480p/720p format. The picture controllers unique to the LCD line such as the In Plane Switching (IPS), and Active Light Control are here also, although they are called “normal” on this unit, and “plus” on the LX600. Still, you are going to be hard pressed to see much difference when you are watching your favorite movie, or sporting event. The picture is going to be flat out crisp, clear, and filled with brilliant color.

The sound system is the same also. Two surround sound speakers rated at 20watts per channel handle the audio. There is only one HDMI port, but that is usually all you are going to need of that multipurpose connection interface, and all of the other connection ports are also included. This includes composite video and S-video ports, as well as a complete array of audio ports. It will be a cinch to connect to just about any Home Theatre system. The V-Chip Programming Control is included as on almost every Panasonic model, and this allows you to exercise control over the programming, and block inappropriate broadcasts.

You also get the remarkable low power consumption of 126 watts, and the light weight of only 43 pounds. The Pedestal stand is included, but the extremely narrow depth of this flat screen giant and the wide viewing angle makes placement the least of your problems. Although the Plasma and DLP units grow a bit larger, when looking at pure picture quality, it is hard to beat the 32” LCD.
