 nice cream! February 11, 2010

On the lookout for a replacement for our 19" Samsung white tv/monitor, (used in same room as a Samsung plasma their remote switches other one on when changing channel!)spotted this tv in the window of a Panasonic store on new years eve for £199.99 with 5 year warranty. Went in to buy the black and came out with the white version.
As another reviewer has pointed out, it is not glossy white, more like a cream, which I think looks nice and neutral in a kitchen or bedroom for example.
My use for this tv is as a computer monitor, occasional tv, editing recordings
from a Panasonic hdd recorder (the remote is the latest 'viera' enabled for other Panny equipment if you have any).
It does all this marvelously, and a bonus is the sd card slot as we have two Panny digital cameras.
Although this is a 19", it looked smaller than my Samsung LE19R71.
The reason for this is the Panny is a'proper 16x9' shape, the Samsung is taller so overscans (crops) more of the picture. I do not know if later Samsung small lcds are sized this way.
There is also a menu option for 'overscan off' which is welcome and uncommon on such a small hd ready tv. All this helps toward a noticeably sharper and better defined picture than the Samsung.
There is a proper power on/off button (on top) along with some odd controls...
AV button cycles through the inputs as you would expect, +/- changes tv channels when in tuner mode. However, each press of the 'F' button allows you to use +/- to change volume, contrast, brightness, bass, treble.
I think a separate +/- for volume would have been easier, as the other adjustments are purely 'set-up', hardly useful on top of the tv.
Like all modern Panasonic tvs, there is no way to power up the tv from standby (or put it into standby) other than using the remote. If it was on when power button depressed it will come on when pressed again. A minor inconvenience really (if the Samsung had this I probably would have kept it, as many Samsung owners have found, it's 'power button' is actually standby only).
The menu options are not straightforward, 'picture settings'/'other settings' etc., you tend to keep finding what you require by trial and error. I use a 42" Panny too and have not got used to this yet. The manual is there but some logic would have helped. Again, a minor gripe.
The av inputs are pretty good, 1x hdmi,1x component,2x scarts(1x RGB capable, 1x 'S' video capable), and a d-sub pc input.
I question the inclusion of component inputs in the 'hd ready' tv spec. these days though. There is no commercially available UK high definition hardware (bd players/sky hd etc.) without hdmi, so another hdmi (or dvi for digital graphics cards) would be more useful.
Where this tv really excels is in it's superb picture quality, standard or high definition, and good overall functionality, which is why I give it 5 stars.

I bought this TV for a bedroom after seeing it recommended in "Which". The colour - a sort of off-white shade - means it blends into the background more when not on. The picture is very good, sound good and the set up was easy. All in all, a good buy and I'm pleased with it.

I bought this television in white for my kitchen. It is a little large for kitchen use as it is certainly not small but I balanced that against quality. Small televisions seem generally to be poor quality and this one is certainly not that. The sound lets it down a little but is better than some I reviewed and is not a problem for the kitchen. The menus are easy to navigate and give clear information. "Which" rates Panasonic Viera very highly. I doubt if they looked at the 19" version but it obviously comes from good stock. I've got nothing negative to say about it. Great service and price from Amazon as usual.

For a 19inch TV, this Panasonic has good sound and
picture quality.
It is ideal for having as a second TV.
Recommended by 'Which' and me.
