General Comments
Having spent over 2 months researching all the 32 inch Widescreen TVs on the market at all major electrical outlets by viewing all the sets on display i found the Panasonic TX-32PD30 picture quitity was second to none,i was always drawn to this tv & then found myself comparing all TVs to this model. The only other TV which in my opinon come close was the Philips Pixel plus, The Pansonics colour palette is rich & vidid, The levels of detail on terrestrial TV/DVD is pin sharp, & this is what caught my eye & finally made my mind up to buy this TV. The connectivity features included at the back of the tv are 4 Scarts(2 of which appect RGB/super VHS)& progessive scan Which requires a suitable DVD player,Summary Nothing i have seen in the current market of 32inch widescreen TVs can match the Pansonics Detail/contrast & colour palette levels & its the best i have seen.

With ref to my above review I have since found a way of turning the greens down in the picture via the service menu. To acess the service menu acess Sound settings turn the Bass up to 100% and the treble down to 0.Then hold down the '-/v' button on the TV's front panel and press INDEX on the remote. Be warned though, all your Picture settings for the channel you're on (Brightness, Contrast etc.) will be reset to their defaults every time you do this. So it's best to either do it on an input you don't use (like AV3) or change the Picture to a setting you don't use (like Dynamic). This way the settings for your primary usage mode will be preserved. Once you're in service mode you can use the RED and GREEN fastext buttons to scroll through the available settings, and the YELLOW and BLUE buttons to alter the values.In the green section I have reduced the greens from 512 to 507.The picture has become more natural,100% improvement. Pressing STR saves the changes for the setting you're on, and the N button exits and returns you to normal viewing mode.
