Panasonic's V-real Picture Processing Engine now comes in the shape of V-real 4. Tweaks to the screens main picture processing circuitry have been designed to clean the incoming Standard Definition source as well as improving High Definition presentation.
Panasonic's TX-L32X10 reflects its entry level status with an HD Ready 1,366 x 768 rather than Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. More and more 32in screens with a Full HD spec are appearing on retailer shelves and although the benefits of the format on this size screen are debatable, this is a must have feature for many - especially those who like to see High Definition material in its full unadulterated glory.
It is not necessarily a bad thing that the TX-L32X10 does not come with all the bells and whistles that we have now become accustomed too even on lower end LCD offerings. The core features that contribute to good performance are largely dictated by the screens core picture processing circuitry and the quality of the panel itself.
Without any great fanfare Panasonic have upgraded their V-real picture processing engine which now appears as V-real 4. The result is a picture that is largely free of any intrusive influences and which is a good deal sharper than a great many LCD TV's which cost considerably more. Standard Definition sources still count for the majority of TV viewing and even with a poorer quality Freeview source, the TX-L32X10 performs well. Pictures are not perfect but display a subtlety that is lacking on many comparable TV's. Colour in particular is commendably vibrant without falling into the trap of becoming too 'garish'. Tricky facial tones are handled with a subtlety and precision which belies the screens budget status.
