This is the type of TV that is just made for the dorm room or small apartment. Who needs all those bulky media players when you can just plug that ipod right in and stream over movies, music, and television? In this review of the Panasonic TC-L22X2 I discuss the affordability, practicality and performance of this top selling TV. At a glance this is how the TV stacks up;

Product Overview:

The Panasonic TC-L22X2 is a 22 inch television that boasts a high definition picture of 720p. This is lower than the full HD resolution of 1080p but at this size that is perfectly acceptable. At 22 inches the difference between a 1080p and a 720p isn't discernable for most viewers. The contrast ratio is rated at 15000:1 which compared to some of the other Panasonics doesn't produce the darkest blacks but it turns out to be perfectly acceptable. Personally I found it very easy to watch in a bright room. The inputs are modest with the single HDMI, component, composite inputs and PC output. Let's be honest though the included iPod dock more than makes up for the lack of other conventional inputs. The television's software promotes a streamlined sharing of media directly from the owners iPod. Even the most tech naïve individuals will be able to take advantage of all the features the TC-L22X2 has to offer. Lastly this TV is part of Panasonic's X2 series which offers a 24P playback function which allows for optimum viewing of 24 frame movies.

Product Value:

Currently priced below $200 on most online retailers the Panasonic TC-L22X2 is a steal. The bottom line is it makes for a perfect bedroom TV or student's dorm room. The ipod dock adds a level of functionality that just goes above and beyond for the price range.
