Panasonic TX37LZD85 Reviews: Viera, 37" Screen LCD Full HD 1080p TV

+ Excellent quality all round. We don't have HD but I can imagine the picture quality would be second to none as the digital picture we receive is excellent.
I had a Toshiba crt set before this and thought the picture quality would never be bettered particularly on a lcd set. I was pleasantly surprised when I bought this set.

- None whats so ever.

+ Really great TV and after doing lots of research glad I went for this one. Picture is really good for most things and sound is better than I expected. Haven't got a full HD source yet so am looking forward to seeing it with that. At the moment just have standard Freeview and it looks good.

- When watching fast moving sports like football you do get a bit of blurring. Not really a problem though and might be ok from a better source. I have freeview and not the best signal strength as well.

+ Easy to use. Remote clearly laid out. Picture crystal sharp on HD programming. Unit is stylish looking with great sleek finish.

- No significant issues. Sound could be more powerful but separate Hi Fi system recommended fro all flat screen TVs anyway.

+ Easy set up; looks good; overall peformance good

- Picture not as good as we hoped, some 'outlining' around people

+ Great image and sound, reasonably compact

- Shiny surround picks up dust and reflections

+ Absolutely superb picture quality, deep blacks and vibrant colours.

+ Excellent freeview picture and is easily tuned to individual tastes.Very good for the average size lounge. I am waiting to see 1080 options when connected to Playstation 3 although the demos I have seen again are very good.
Good value for money.

- I would prefer a stand which would give more rotation for viewing .

+ Set up is so easy ,just plug in and switch on,search and store of stations is automatic,i,ve looked at this model for a long time and i must say i am not dissappointed.I have had my new 37 lcd for about three weeks and in my opinion it is faultless.Nothing more than you would expect from panasonic.

- NONE

+ The looks: fantastic - reasonably slim border - looks great in any lounge. Sound is awesome - very clear and natural which can also be said for the picture. Almost up there with their plasma range. A great trait of Panasonic pictures in general unlike some other brands which produce pretty but overly saturated, bright colours - good for animations/xbox games but will grow tiresome for a film and general viewing.
Menus very easy to use - on startup you press a button and digital channels are set up. Plug my xbox in - switch to hdmi - done.

- If i had to really really nit-pick, the black bezel surround reflects a little too much light which is not what you want when you buy an LCD.
Erm...

+ fantastic picture and sound very happy and the reviews where correct on all counts

- non so far

+ easy menu navigation

- SD picture not brilliant but perfectly watchable

+ HD picture excellent from Blu-ray player BD30

- SD picture not great. Cannot turn off 100 Hz.

+ Picture is fantastic being bright, crisp and sharp, no ghosting or other motion issues. The looks and finish of the LCD is fantastic, really pleased with it.
Don't have any HighDef devices but normal picture via scart and component video is brillant.
Well worth getting the 100Hz.

- Freeview Tuner does't give the best picture, not sure whether that is the tuner or my aerial that is at fault, however the aerial is digital approved and I even have a booster connected, so I do think the tuner that is at fault. I've got sky+ so it is not that big an issue for me.

+ Picture quality is good considering only being used with a standard definition signal. I have seen many wide screen TVs with poor picture quality over the years at friends houses (I didn't tell them though). I am pleased to say my new TV is much better than all the others I've seen.

- Sound falls well short of hi fi quality though its probaly better than most other TVs. I should not have to a buy a separate sound system in order to get good sound. It should be built into the TV.
Picture quality is not so good for faces under studio lighting with people wearing make up for TV. Faces under these conditions can look like cyber men from Doctor Who. Adjusting the settings helps and is now acceptable to me though still not great.

+ Excellent picture, even without HD source. The screen's potential can be seen by inserting an SD card and viewing digital pictures at full resolution. I have no doubt that it will excellent with a full HD source.

- The freeview signal is highly processed to remove noise and the result is that that a faces end up looking like Joan Rivers (stretched smooth and artificial!)
