Panasonic VIERA TX-32CS510 Pro Reviews

In theory such a low-resolution screen is only for those that care more about content than quality, but the savvy buyer need only look at the maths. The provision of Freetime, Freeview HD and Netflix on the 32CS510 – all of which broadcast and stream in the exact same HD-ready quality that LED panel is build to display – makes this a correctly specified TV. Besides, Netflix usually comes down the pipe at 480p. That well-matched resolution is one reason why the 32CS510's images are so clean as well as so technically impressive. It may lack ultimate detail on Blu-ray discs, but that's about it. Gaming, Freeview HD channels, DVDs and Netflix all get a polished, colourful and contrasty treatment that's retained even at extreme viewing angles. Though the 32CS510 lacks Panasonic's latest Firefox-based smart TV platform, the myHomeScreen platform it does have is thorough and impressive. Sure, there's some overlap between Freeview HD, myHomeScreen, the remote's Netflix shortcut and the headline feature, Freetime. In fact, it's probable that you'll forget all about one or two of those features. Either way, what's left is a great value, advanced 32-incher with reliable, versatile picture quality that's only one HDMI input short of being an absolute steal.
