That number 600 at the end of this model’s stock number is Panasonic’s way of telling us that this is the full package. This is a 32” diagonal screen LCD television that is set up with just about every feature the Panasonic can cram into it to produce a viewing experience that is almost unreal. The resolution is 1366 x 768 giving a total pixel count of 1,049,088. Matched with a contrast ratio of 3000:1, and featuring a response time of 8ms, the LX600 can handle any type of HD signal, and display a picture without any distortion. The very fast response time, or refresh rate, insures this to be true even on fast action broadcasts such as sporting events.Other special features include In Plane Switching (IPS), LCD Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Active Light Control. Each of these cutting edge technologies controls the pixel display to insure brilliant color reproduction. The IPS allows a 178 degree view angle which means you can be looking at the screen from above, below, and to either side, and the picture remains the same.

The TC32-LX600 comes with the other standard features that you can expect from Panasonic. Two surround sound speakers put out 20 watts per channel, and there are built in sleep timers, and three language on screen menus. It also has Panasonic’s standard V-Chip program controller that allows parental control over programming. There is the normal array of connections including two HDMI-HDCP interfaces that allow connection to just about anything you might want to connect to in your Home Theater set up. Composite video, S-Video, and all the other basic connections have rear ports also. There is even a head phone jack.

Perhaps, one of the most remarkable things about this 32” TV is its low power consumption. It is rated at a mere 126 watts. It is also no more than 5” wide, and weights a mere 43 pounds. It can be set on the pedestal that is also included, or really with its low size and weight, and that 178 degree viewing angle, could be placed just about anywhere. There is not enough space here to describe everything this unit contains, but it is certainly a clear choice for the person looking for the very best picture quality for a reasonable cost.
