Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-11-01 Summary: You have to love digital cables ... It's a shame DVI doesn't support audio also; it likely means that if you're in the market for this cable you're also going to have to find a 25' audio cable (probably digital RCAs or Optical). The great news is that this cheap alternative seems to work just as well as all the rest. I'm using it and loving it and still had enough cash in my wallet to seek out the aforementioned audio cable! ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-21 Summary: Too Clear To be Real ... Price was good when I purchased it in Jan. I was surprised at the clarity(1080p) 23in. Sound was not as fantastic. I have speakers to makeup the different. The 2 HDMI hookups work great with ROKU/Netflix. Most TV/Monitors have AGP video hookup, but this one has AGP and DVI. Great for graphic display and gaming. Has component hookup, but no composite and S-video. These are needed for standard VHS or DVD players. Used a Digital Antenna with the TV. The picture was great. Overall, I'd give the TV unit an A- ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-23 Summary: Great for College ... This TV/Monitor does exactly what I want it to do.

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-19 Summary: Great as a monitor, but make sure you set HDMI 1 as PC ...

Then choose "HDMI1" and scroll down and select "PC." This will correct the display for the PC text. Once I figured this out, I was very happy with my purchase. Beautiful picture! ...more

Feature: ... Sold Individually ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-24 Summary: Great monitor, untested as a TV ... So I don't have much to add to what other reviewers said. I am a student who wanted a bigger monitor (one I could sit a bit away from the desk) that would work well for work and videos at a decent price. I just got the monitor a few days ago and I will say I am satisfied. Super easy to setup and install. Plug and play and just used the remote to setup the colors etc. how I wanted them. Through the standard DVI hook up, the color and resolution are great both for text and videos. As previously mentioned the viewing ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-17 Summary: Picture Clarity...a good buy ... I bought this monitor a month ago..and so far so good. I like the huge size and the picture clarity. It arrived faster than I expected and did not notice any dead pixels. I decided to buy this one for it now doubles as an HDTV too! We cancelled our cable and we use a converter box..but on the monitor, we did not need a converter box, we just got a rabit-ear antenna and now we can watch TV! I just wish it had picture in picture feature where I could watch the TV and also work on the pc....I also wish it could tilt or ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-16 Summary: Very nice monitor! ... I purchased this T260HD mainly to be used as a computer monitor. The fact that it includes a TV tuner, adds to its value in my opinion. Its also a very attractive looking monitor. If your just looking to buy a TV, you might as well just buy a dedicated TV though. So far I like this monitor very much. I am upgrading from a 22" 226bw Samsung which I was happy with, but wanted something a little bigger. I haven't even needed to adjust the color, it looks accurate to me out of the box, the only thing I have adjusted was ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-24 Summary: Just plug and play! ... Works right out of the box, with a male to male HDMI cable of-course (supports up to 1080p). The only thing that sucks is that it wont output any audio =(. The reason isn't the adapter but the mini DVI port; which doesn't support/output any audio. Keep this in mind if you plan on going this route. To fix the audio problem I used a toslink (digital optical) cable with a mini toslink adapter to output 5.1 to my surround sound setup. If you just have regular stereo speakers, use a regular stereo mini plug cable instead, ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-24 Summary: Awesome picture, but weak sound. ... As often as possible I buy Panasonic products. For whatever reason I seem to have very good luck with them. Be it a VCR, clock radio, TV, cordless phone, etc it just seems like I'm always able to find products that get good reviews, contain features I want and are not unreasonably priced. For me the bonus is they last too; I actually have a Panasonic clock radio that's at least 20 years old, and it still looks and acts as though it was new. I purchased this TV -- the Panasonic TC-L32S1 -- for my 22 year old daughter, ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-22 Summary: Wowie! ... This TV is superb! The viewing angle is a little better than my PC monitor (which is great) The remote is easy to use & has features that eliminates the Samsung DVD player remote altogether. Movies look great & all I have is a regular upconverting (1080) DVD player. The stand is heavy & sturdy. The frame surrounding the screen is a bit too shiny for me, but it's not as wide as my old 26", so it's better. The ittle things are appreciated as well like... I open the box & guess what brand of batteries came with the remote. ...more
