Excellent picture quality, especially with standard definition signals (Sky, terrestrial, DVD).
The HD picture is really good (remember Sky HD etc. only broadcast in 1080i which matches this TV perfectly!) 100Hz scanning (great for fast moving action like sport and action films).
Sound quality is above average for flat screens, good bass and volume.
3 HDMI inputs. 2 Scart inputs (RGB). Built-in digital freeview and analogue tuners.
SD card reader built in. Nice remote.
Nicely designed.

Score 9.0/10+ the full variety if inputs and the fact you can rename the titles of them. picture quality.
- although the volume sounds very good at low to medium levels - when you consider that there is around 3/4 of the volme bar remaining - anything over half way and the sound distorts - most noticable of music with a lot of bass notes - but whenyou consider you cant actually see any speakers - it doesnt do bad.

Score 10.0/10+ Picture quality is as good as other people have said, even with my cheap aerial in the loft. The whole package is great and as I expected. No time at all to set up and get working. Did all my research on the internet and this kept getting great reviews overall. Well pleased.
- Does not appear to have a volume leveller. i.e to keep all channels and ADVERTS at the same level which I got used to on my old Sony. Instead it lets the volume fluctuate up and down. Upto now this is my only bad point, although important to me. I would have expected this to be a standard function on all tvs nowadays.

Expert reviews for Panasonic TH-37PX80B
TechRadar expert review
While not, perhaps, the most eye-catching set on the market today, the Panasonic TH-37PX80 is still more than attractive for most modern viewing rooms and boasts an enviable array of picture-improving technologies. The panel, with its 1,024 x 720 pixels, is HD Ready, rather than 1080p, but it is driven by the company's awesomely powerful V-real 3 processing suite, which is more than capable of Ô¨Ålling in the gaps left by that relatively modest resolution. Unusually, Panasonic has equipped this plasma set with 100Hz digital scanning, an image stability improver normally found on liquid…

TV Buyers GuideManufacturer's Description
HD Models with Superb Image Quality and Advanced Networking Capabilities (3 HDMI terminals, SD card slot)
Every image is richly expressive from bright scenes, such as scorching desert landscapes, to dark cave scenes. Contrast is enhanced by the new Real Black Drive system (a pre-discharge control system) and a higher base luminance from improvements made to the panel production process. The high contrast creates deep, robust blacks and reproduces scenes with a delicate balance of light and shadow.
You can enjoy beautiful cinematic reproduction of movie images. The images that are recorded onto movie film at 24 frames per second (fps) are reproduced at two times that speed by 24p Playback. This achieves film-like reproduction than with the 2:3 processing method.
Smooth gradation lends natural expression to images such as sunsets. VIERA brings you the wide colour range of the x.v.Colour standard and the natural colours made possible by the Deep Colour (HDMI™ V.1.3) standard through its compliance with the newest video standards. This allows one to enjoy natural images with rich expression.
In addition to brilliant picture quality, VIERA models offer the easy operation made possible by VIERA Link and the SD card slot. VIERA Link lets you operate other connected Panasonic AV components using only the VIERA TV’s remote control unit. The majority of the VIERA line-up is equipped with a slot for large-capacity SDHC cards.You can view a slideshow of your photos on VIERA’s big beautiful screen just by simply remove the SD memory card from your digital still camera, and slip it in to the slot.
