Sloppy packaging
This is a word of caution about how the item is packed in its box. Somewhere between the seller and my front door, the box was damaged.

Very good 26″ LCD television and is just the right size in our guest bedroom. . . . . I believe that Panasonic beats them all hands down. . . . we replaced our very old CRT TV with this new light weight LCD and it does not take up as much space as the old unit did. . . . . . . . in my own opinion, this Panasonic LCD has the best picture and sound over the other brands, and I did a lot of comparing before buying . . . . . I really like the timer feature too. . . . . . the set-up menu and features are very user friendly. The remote is not lit. . . has no internal light. . . but I don’t think any of them have an internal light. . . . . not a complaint, but the remote has more stuff on it than I will ever use. . . . I have owned my 42″ Plasma Panasonic for over 2 years now and I am very satisfied with it too. . . . The plasma has a little bit of a better picture, colors are more vivid, than a LCD has but a plasma also cost more money too. . . . and a plasma weighs more and uses more power than a LCD TV. . . This TV only comes in glossy black, the frame and base, which looks very nice but shows every speck of dust. I even called Panasonic and complained about that. . . . . for not offering an alternate color like silver or gray. . . . I think that most all of the other brands, under 42″, also come in only glossy black this year. . . . . oh well. . . . my wife doesn’t mind the glossy black. . . . . Last month I purchased the TC-L32X1 for our bedroom and we liked it so well that we bought the TC-L26X1 LCD in the 26′ size for the guest bedroom. . . . . . this TV also comes with a dock for plugging in your ipod but I’m not into any of that stuff so I can’t say how well it works. . . . sorry. . . I have also posted a picture of our new TV here and that’s my soda pop can next to the TV so you can get an idea of the size, etc. . . . and the President just happen to be on the news when I snapped the picture. . . . . I recommend this Panasonic TC-L26X1 LCD TV. . . . . . they are very nice and well worth the little extra money over the other brands. . . . . .

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.

Had for almost two months…
Bought this for our bedroom and we’ve enjoyed it since May. The spouse really likes the included iPod docking station, to fall asleep to movies we’ve got on our iPod Classic…

The Panasonic TC-L26X1 LCD TV is a superb choice for an entry level 26″ set. I ordered it from Amazon on June 2nd (free shipping) and received it on June 5th in excellent condition. Setup was a snap and the picture is great. Sound is so-so, but adequate for a small set. I hooked it up to a Samsung Home Theater and now the sound is fine. You should be aware, however, that the only audio out connection on this set is a Digital Audio Out port requiring a Digital Optical cable. This is only necessary if you want to connect the TV to a home theater or wireless headphones (also of the Digital Optical type). In addition, you can’t find a better price than Amazon’s. I tried Best Buy (they don’t carry the model], and Bernies, who had it on sale for $499. 99, but wouldn’t come down on the price. All in all, a great set at a great price.

Excellent TV
I needed a replacement TV in the kitchen and wanted a flat screen to save space. I ordered the TC-L26X1 as it was the largest that would fit in the space I had available.

Why I Didn’t Give This Tv 5 Stars
The Panasonic Viera X1 is a very nice tv. The only problem is having to adjust the color,brightness,and contrast for different shows sometimes.

Wonderful 26″ LCD for the money
I love this LCD TV. My Sony 21″ tube TV of twenty plus years finally started to go out on me so it was more cost effective to buy a new LCD TV rather than fix the old Sony.

Good Product
We’ve had this TV for a couple of weeks now. The picture is sharp, and the colors are vivid. We bought the 26 inch size because it fits in our cabinet.

. Buy a TV via Amazon.com!!?
Could not find the model we wanted in local stores
We knew what model we wanted. We were ready to settle for a 26-in. in another brand. Still none in the big box stores around us
