Features
High Definition Tuner: With built-in HDTV
tuners for over-the-air (ATSC) and unencrypted cable signals (QAM), you don't
have to purchase a separate digital set-top box to receive and decode HDTV/SDTV
signals.
Native Resolution: The Panasonic Viera
TC-32LX700 has a display resolution of 1366 x 768. All incoming signals are
converted to this native resolution. The HDMI digital and component video inputs
will accept 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i, and will display them as 1366 x 768.
The HDMI inputs will also accept a 1080p signal.
In Plane Switching (IPS) LCD Panel:
The wide viewing angle provided by the In Plane Switching (IPS) LCD panel lets
you enjoy an exceptional picture from the left, right, above, or below. Colors
are clear and vivid even when the screen is viewed from an angle. This LCD TV
features an extremely wide viewing angle of 178°, so whether you're right in
front of the TV or sitting off to the side, you'll still get great image
quality.
Fast Motion Imagery:
Fast pixel
response time is essential to accurate image reproduction on LCD displays. If
the response time is too long, fast motion seen during sports broadcasts and
action movies can cause blurring. This LCD TV incorporates 120Hz technology and
simulates in-between frames for an impressive response speed, helping to ensure
excellent detail and smooth motion during high-speed scene transitions.
Aspect Modes:
Depending on the input signal, you can choose one of the following aspect modes:
- 4:3:
displays a 4:3 picture at its standard size
with bars along the sides
- Zoom:
magnifies the picture uniformly
(vertically and horizontally) to fill the screen, so the top and bottom are
cut off (recommended for letter box sources)
- Full:
stretches the picture horizontally to fill the screen
(recommended for anamorphic sources)
- Just:
stretches a 4:3 picture to fill the screen but with aspect correction
applied to the sides of the screen so that elongation is only apparent at
the left and right edges of the screen
(recommended for normal TV broadcasts)
- H-Fill: enlarges
the 4:3 picture horizontally to fill the screen, the side edges are cut off
Zoom Adjust:
You can adjust vertical size and image position when using the zoom mode.
