Product Description
The wide viewing angle provided by the In Plane Switching (IPS) LCD panel lets you enjoy an extraordinary 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. With Panasonic, it's easy for everyone in the room to enjoy the show.This widescreen TV features a width-to-height ratio similar to movie theater screens, providing a theater-like experience at home. View HDTV broadcasts and widescreen DVDs the way they were meant to be seen.HDTV broadcasts and DVDs offer more detail and better color than analog broadcasts, and it takes a high-resolution display to deliver all that picture information. The high pixel count of this LCD TV provides fine detail for outstanding HDTV reproduction. More pixels also translate into less stair-stepping artifacts; curved and diagonal edges look smooth and natural.With EZ Sync HDAVI Control, watching a movie is as easy as pressing a single button. One touch of the remote control turns on the TV and your EZ Sync-compatible components instantly and automatically. All you have to do is sit back and watch. Once you experience this kind of convenience, you'll never want to go back to yesterday's technology.If you have even a moderately complicated home theater setup, you probably have a pile of tangled cables on the floor behind it. Imagine replacing all those cables with a single cable that carries both digital video and audio at the same time. With the HDMI standard, that's exactly what you get. The HDMI connector on this TV accepts high-quality digital video and audio via the same thin cable, allowing you to run one cable from the source to the TV.

 Great Set for a Small Price! June 16, 2008
I bought this set in Oct 2007..We had been living with a 19" color set in the living room for many years, and it was time!
I had to choose a set that would fit in our small living room, yet give
good quality color and sound.
It is now June 2008, and this set is wonderful! If you have a living room that is 12x17 or smaller, this is great! . The controls are good, however, if you use playstation, or need to connect video, not too convenient..On the side... I love Panasonic..The sound is great, the picture is great.I am still very happy with this set. I can now see this set without my glasses! (well except for letters)
Highly recommended for a great view and sound! Sound is very very important to me...I have extremely sensitive hearing. Panasonic is the best in this category.

I'm new to this HDTV thing, so I was expecting a super crisp, clear image. I'm using a DVD player which is connected using either s-video or component. It seems to me the image could be crisper. Not sure if this is a failure of the TV or the DVD.
Also, I don't enjoy watching movies that are stretched out. We change the aspect ratio each time we watch a movie to see what works best. We may need an HDTV DVD player... not sure if that will allow us to use the full resolution it's capable of.
Good Value on 2nd TV April 30, 2008
I purchased this TV at my local Circuit City store at Christmastime when there was a good sale promotion going on. Like many of the reviewers, I did some preliminary research beforehand and found the Panasonic to be a good value for its features and price range. Sure, we'd all like the bling, bling of Sony! But since this was a second TV for our bedroom, we based our decision more on value/price. (Previously we had an ancient 12-inch tube TV/VCR combo so to us this was a major upgrade.) With that said, overall this has been a good purchase and I would recommend this TV as an addition to the home. Not sure I would want it as my primary TV, but for someone just starting out and on a budget it would certainly be a contender. The picture is clear and the controls are straightforward. Good sound quality. This is also the TV that our family plays PS2 on, so from a gaming perspective, it's also a winner. A couple constructive criticisms: 1) I'm constantly hitting the volume instead of the channel button because they are opposite of all the other TV remotes we have or have had in our house. 2) I found the instruction manual to be less than helpful. It's great for "out of the package" set up. But for trying to figure out some of the advanced features or delving deeper into the menu settings, forget it. And the Panasonic website wasn't a help either. When I typed the model number into the category search, this TV didn't even come up. Strange, since it's only a few months old. After digging around, I found some information, which was not much more helpful than the manual. 3) Lastly, I don't use this TV with a cable box, and I had some difficulty receiving/setting up the HD channels. Not everyone is aware that you can receive HD channels without a cable box. And this TV is capable of picking up the HD channels without a box. However, because the manual is not very helpful in explaining how to program analog and HD channels, I had some difficulty. With some tinkering and guesswork, I was able to eventually get them programmed. Panasonic has a solid reputation and is rated pretty well for reliability. They just need to put a bit more time and thought into writing their manuals!
Panasonic TV April 19, 2008

This TV is EXCELLENT. Great sound and picture. It sync'd with my digital cable box fairly easily. No dislikes. I bought this TV sight unseen based on reviews and was not disappointed.
The only concern was the condition of the the box when it arrived. The package came embedded within a larger package with popcorn styrofoam in between. The outer box looked pretty beat up (DHL was the shipper) in fact I took pics of the box prior to opening it for documentation purposes if there was damage. In the end, all was well. I ordered on a Sunday night and it arrived by the following Thursday.
To evaluate this TV, just watch CSI Miami in HD. The colors and clarity are amazing. I will finish by saying that I normally don't do these product reviews unless I am truly impressed by a product.
Very Pleased With TC-26LX70 April 18, 2008
Received the set about a month ago through Amazon and JR Music World. Absolutely no problems on order or delivery (within 5 business days).
I was not planning on using the set for HD right away so was looking for an upgrade over my 20 inch analog. I am extremely pleased with the Standard Definition reception. Has it all over the old TV which wasn't bad. Set up was simple and straightforward. The TV is located in a sun room so viewing the picture during the day can be a problem but not with this baby in Vivid mode. No fade or distortion with viewing angles either. I think Panasonic rates it at 160 degrees or so and I would agree. Sound is very good. Never have it cranked up over half-way.
Overall an excellent choice so far.
