If we could judge the Panasonic Viera TX-L26X10 on performance alone, it would be nudging pretty close to bagging a TrustedReviews Recommended award. Its pictures are certainly among the very best we've seen from a 26in TV.
But in tallying up the TV's final marks we just couldn't ignore the fact that at £499, the TX-L26X10 really isn't particularly cheap considering that it's pretty much Panasonic's entry-level 26in TV. By comparison, the Toshiba 26AV505DB we mentioned in the review, while undoubtedly inferior, can be had for under £300. And even Panasonic's own new entry-level 37in plasma TV, the TX-P37X10, only costs around £60 or so more if you know where to look. But still, if 26in is the size for you, and you're willing to pay a bit more for a genuinely premium performance, then the Panasonic Viera TX-L26X10 should fit the bill nicely.Read full review
