Panasonic TX32PB50

I am interested to read previous comments about the picture quality on the Panasonic TX32pb50 television. I have had mine for 18 months and have been very dispointed with the image - particularly when a consistant colour is displayed ie grass whilst watching a football match. I get a darker band which extends for around 3 inches on extreme left of screen and a further dark band about 2/3's across the screen which spreads over about 8 inches. The set has been with Panasonic for 10 weeks now and they acnowledge the existance of the shading but say it is "within specification" - I am exploring with trading standards as I write this article! If anyone else has this problem please let me know.

The picture size on the Panasonic TX32pb50 is bigger than tube thus you don't see the edges of the tv program your watching, tv lasted 11 months before it went down with a fault.

I always bought Sony when they were the "Rolls Royce" of TVs. My last Sony developed three separate faults in as many years, so I decided to try Panasonic. The first one had a bad curve down the left side of the picture so the dealer swapped it immediately, it's replacement occasionally won't switch on from standby unless I turn the power off and on. The picture puts a bright white edge around peoples faces etc. and small white details are disproportionately bright, giving the picture a totally unrealistic appearance. Oh yes, and the remote controller developed a fault wher it would only work if it was given a thump, that has now been replaced. £1,400 wasted

I have just bought this television form Curry's as a replacement for a faulty Sharp 32" widescreen and I paid £716 for it. I have no complaints about it yet, the picture is good especially with DVD and the sound is great especially with the surround sound rear speakers.

Don't bother with the Panasonic tx32pb50 TV.. Panasonic have always been up there but this and the pg50 are way below usual standards..
