Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L26X1 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Review
The 26-inch Viera TC-L26X1 LCD 720p HDTV is ideal for lovers of music and videos. The iPod Entertainment Kit lets you control and play back your iPod (not included) music and videos. Also the Viera Image Viewer provides a better way to share your digital photos, just put your SD memory card into the memory card slot, and your digital photos are instantly displayed. With Viera Link, you can control your compatible Panasonic DVD recorder, Blu-ray Disc player, home theater sound system, and HD camcorder, all with a single remote and helpful on-screen menus.
I just received this TV yesterday and all I can say so far is WOW!!!!
It is in our bedroom and looks great (picture and aesthetics wise). The iPod dock is also very nice. The sound is excellent for a small (?) TV.
One thing to note. Unless you are a magician, be sure to use long needle nose pliers to get the screws started into the stand/base when attaching it to the TV. Very hard to do with just a screw driver.
My only complaint so far is that the sleeper timer does not have a dedicated button on the remote. You have to go into 2 different menu screens to get to it. My way around that was to set each of the 5 timers the TV has so that each one goes off at 11pm Sunday night through Thursday night. This obviously is not an issue if you are using it somewhere other than a bedroom.
P.S. – Don’t be swayed by the talk about size of your TV and the viewing distance. This 26" is a perfect size for our bedroom (sits on 5 drawer dresser about 12ft from my pillow). The charts for LCD TVs had me at a 42" minimum, which is not true IMHO.
