Good Points

The Panasonic Viera range recently occupied the top eight 'Best Buy' positions in a 'Which?' survey of flat panel TVs, and having just bought the TX26LMD70, I can see why. With good, strong colours and depth of blacks, the picture is bright and natural. Sound deinition is really good, once you have fiddled around to get it to your taste. And the package is stylish and good looking. I would definitely recommend this set.

Bad Points

Not bad points, but niggles... SOUND: The sound set up has only two basic settings: Speech and Music, together with bass and treble adjustments. I have always believed that you should be able to set a sound system to 'Flat' so you can hear everything just as the sound engineer intended, so why don't Panasonic include this setting in the menu? Speakers are fine, however, so once you've set it up right, the sound is very punchy and clear. VISION: This is not a criticism of just Panasonic, but, it seems, of all digital video systems, and that is the problem of it being non-analogue. This means that all the colours have to step from one value to the next digitally. The effect of this is that it is impossible to get a smooth gradient of colour across the screen - and this in turn leads to odd fringing effects, especially when a gradient of colour is faded in or out - fringes appear to move across the screen as the brightness of the image changes. Panasonic sets in particular seem to deal with this problem reasonably well, but not entirely.

Good Points

Its just a top quality product. The sound and visual quality is perfect, and for the price you cant really go wrong. I wouldnt look back, and if I wanted a 2nd TV, I'd buy the same one over and over again. It also is amazing for the PS3 running at 1080 in HD. Top purchase

Bad Points

I cant really fault the product - I guess the only thing I have found is it sometimes changes screen size, but that might be down to the TV Channel I am watching!!
