Panasonic TX-L32D25 television.

We are finally (but reluctantly) parting with our lovely old Panasonic 32” TV.

I bought it in 2010 after this review …

Best 32in TV in the 2010 Awards, the Panasonic TX-L32D25 is an absolute cracker

… and it has been superb ever since. It still works on everything except SD broadcasts where the signal gets very ‘glitchy’ (but only in the last 2 weeks). I’m extremely sad about this as it’s been a reliable old workhorse but I suppose 14 years service is pretty good by today’s standards.

We have a new Panasonic 40” TV on order from John Lewis next week and I hope we can get another 14 years out of that too. I’ve ticked the recycle option on the JL delivery/install so it won’t end up as landfill.

(I am welling up now so i’ll finish my update. )

Anyone else felt like this when getting rid of a TV?

That’s good going! We’ve managed a decade and thought that was pretty good. The latest OLED are dramatically better, though I still find it takes a while to dial back the contrast and saturation, and reduce or turn off the motion controls, once the new set is in place.

One thing you may find is the newer tellies seem to sound much less thin and tizzy compared to earlier flat screen models. Must admit I’ve never looked back, other than in amazement at how small the old screen looked!

I've always been excited by the prospect of a bigger & better viewing experience, so would have to say no.

Not regarding a TV no but I did feel really bad when I had to let a certain amplifier go.

We had our Panasonic 50" TV for five years and very pleased with the quality. It's currently on eBay, hopefully someone will see the value of it and purchase it soon.
Last few years Panasonic seems to have lost their presence in the big screen TV market, LG or Sony are very much the front runners. Sony Bravia screens are essentially LG that have been specifically tweaked.
There have been some recent developments judging by the various forums online, Panasonic is making a comeback with their own OLED TVs, hopefully this sets the trend for better things to come.

Had my Pannie 3D plasma since 2012 and still going strong. I'll definitely be buying Panasonic again when the time comes
