On a computer

As usual, we hooked up this LZD80F to a desktop computer in our labs using a HDMI cable to show a Full HD image of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The results were excellent: text was clear and very well-defined, and the image shown was not resized. Like with most TVs, all that’s needed is a correct setting for the aspect ratio.

This television is the 32 inch version of the 37 inch screen we recently tested, the Viera TX-37LZD80. You can check the results of our earlier test to find out how the bigger model performed. This 32” screen is identical, apart from the fact its smaller size improves the resolution, giving the impression of a more detailed image. What’s more, its more manageable size means that it can be used as the screen for a computer, which is especially useful given how well both screens performed when connected to a PC via a HDMI cable.
