Panasonic TH37PX70B Reviews: Viera, 37" Screen Plasma HD Ready TV

+ The picture quality is great on this product and with simple start up instructions it was easy to install.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ I actually purchased this for my mother in - law. The picture is good, sometimes pixals can be blotchy but think that is due to the digital signal quality rather then the TV. I am thinking of upgrading to a new TV myself, and affter seeing this in action I would purchase one myself.

+ Excellent product all round with very impressive picture quality and sound. Very classy looking and once up and running very easy to use.

- Manual could be better in explaning connectivity and what are considered the best options in this regard.

+ A 5* winner in all the mags and lives up to the reviews BRILLIANT!!!

- Only 2 Scart connections (would have liked to see 3)

+ brilliant picture, good design, lots of inputs

- sound quality is OK but nothing special

+ Easy to use and great picture quality. The freeview menu is easy to navigate, much easier than the phillips I had previously

+ Excellent picture quality from both freeview and cable exceptional picture quality through HD had a 40" LCD before i purchased this model and there is no comparison on picture the panasonic has deeper colours the black levels are second to none so the whole picture is crisper brighter and more lifelike

- Sound not as bad as some but still could be improved ,but saying that i never use the sound of a t.v as it is better viewed using a surround sound setup

+ Excellent digital/hd picture quality for the price. Controls easy to use and well laid out.

- Sound is good but low end bass could have a bit more oomph

+ Very easy set up and fantastic picture qualifty. Love the swivel screen too.

- Cant think of any!

+ top telly, much better than the lcds.

+ Fantastic picture, sound, alue and simply put... I could not have made a better choice

- Not enough connections for my liking but I really am nit-picking!

+ Picture is fantastic, we watched a nature program in HD, it was like being in the sea with the fish.
It was easy to tune and set up.
Build quality is very good, with a solid base which swivels.

- Have not found any yet.

+ Excellent sound and super sharp picture quality - second to none

- Slightly on the heavy side. Also risk of screen burn if icons (channel name etc) are left on screen for a prolonged period of time. Bit of an inconvenience having to change channel every couple of hours but the tv more than makes up for that.

+ This is an excellent TV - well recommended

- no bad points

+ Everything appart from below and hopefully the reliability which I bought the product for,having always had Panasonic

- Close up picture poor.
Time it takes to change between channels.ie fron No 1 to No 5 takes up to 4 seconds.

+ Absolutely fantastic product looks sleek, great picture and works well with SD images in freeview. UPscaling also excellent with our Sony DVD player. We bought this over an eqivalent LCD product after seeing the quality of plasma over LCD. We didn't want a large tv so 37" was great for us.

- None I can think of.

+ The picture at this price is sensational and absolutely wipes the floor with any lcd I've seen anywhere near the price point. Particularly for SD pictures LCD cannot touch it. I use mine for normal sky, Xbox 360 and DVD's and cannot fault it on any level. The sound is decent. I generally use external speakers but for built in speakers they are not bad at all and have more than enough volume than you'll need, if lacking a little depth.
Also, although not as snazzy as the samsungs the design is very nice. Looks stunning in our room and has a very simple timeless design.
The settings are easy to use and the 3 main picture settings (cinema, normal and dynamic) give good variation and are eay to acess so you can swich between them.

- Only 720p and not 1080p. However at 37 inch 1080 isn't actually necesary. For the 42 inch 1080 may well be a bonus though.
The frame seriously collects dust, but i'm sure this will be the case with any gloss black finish.
Difficult to find bad points to be honest. For the price I really don't think it can be beaten. We were torn between this and the samsung. My sister bought the samsung and after seeing both in a living room, for normal tv viewing there really is no comparison. the Samsung may JUST edge it on HD content but for SD, that most of us are still only watchin, the Panasonic wins quite comfortably.

+ the picture on sd is brilliant,no shadow,no blocks or picsiles even with fast sports like footy... forget lcd get this plasma you will not regret it

- remote control could be better to handle.

+ Briliant picture quality

- None

+ Picture quality

- Design

+ Superb picture in both SD & HD

- None

+ I loved this from the moment I got it. It is sleek, flat and sexy. The stand I bought it with is of a very good quality and the whole kit is perfect even for a small room. Picture quality is good generally even on some of my older DVDs.

- It got very confused with my sky box and which one of them was controlling the screen ratio. This I sorted by swicthing the scart control off on my sky box. Panasonic subsequently told me that it could be a faulty scart lead.
The remote control is not overly responsive for some reason and, because I want to link the sky box into my amp, I can't have sound through the plasma unless I plug more cables in. Just means I have switch the amp on even if it is to watch ten minutes of news at breakfast time.

+ sd picture

- weak sound

+ - Looks good
- Good quality of picture for the money
- Sound quality is v good for the money

- - Cannot get it to automatically switch to an AV input on start up (despite several conversations with your helpline)

- None

+ Easy to set up and use. Picture pretty good

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Excellent picture, clean minimalist styling, very easy to set up (pretty much does everything for you the first time you switch it on).

- While the sound is far from terrible, due to the limitations of space in a flat screen cabinet the bass is a bit lacking. Also the user options for fine adjusting of sound and picture are limited.
Worth noting I had to have my set replaced due to a lound buzzing from the back of the TV which suddenly appeared after 3 weeks. My replacement has been great though.

+ ease of use, sleek design.

- very poor sound!!!

+ Excellent picture on standard definition feed from sky, analogue and dvb. Wide range of inputs.

- None

+ i get great picture quality wether i view in high definition or standard definition

+ I was able to buy a coordinating stand which has castors so the unit could be moved. this made cable adjustments and cleanng much easier. Hardly any other makes do moveable stands, which for me was vital due to the location of my tv

- cable trays and clips are not as good as on some other panasonic models, wires still visable from the front,.minor adjustments in design would have solved this problem

+ Picture quality, Easy to set up

- None yet

+ Very easy to set up

- Picture deteriorates when other equipment like video, DVD connected - even through scart.

+ price, ease of use

- can't fault this tv

+ Excellent Image quality and sound

- no real bad points

+ Excellent SD picture quality.Haven't got a HD source to put through it but working on that!! Excellent build quality- would recommend to anyone.

- None, its brilliant!

+ Excellent Plasma screen, with an excellent picture quality, the reviews are definitely worth reading and are right, there's only a few 37" Plasma's worth considering and this is definitely one of them.

- The sound quality is fine but you'll need to connect to a surround sound system to do it justice.

+ Amazing picture with very deep blacks and a great range of colours. Very smooth panning with no blurring in fast screen action. Attractive design and well made

- None!

+ Amazing picture, sleek and gorgeous looking. Loads of inputs so suitable for games consoles, dvd player etc.

- Isn't full HD so not completely future proof - but will definately do for the next 3 - 5 years while HD services grow in the UK.

+ Fantastic TV and great price, Internet beater

- Price went up the week after i bought it, otherwise more people would be enjoying the same TV

+ Lots

- NoDolby sound

+ THE BEST TV IVE EVER BOUGHT. THE SIZE IS JUST RIGHT TO BE PLACED ON THE WALL ABOVE OUR FIRE PLACE AND NOT TOO BIG AS TO DOMINATE THE WHOLE ROOM.42 INCH WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO BIG AND THAT IS THE START SIZE FOR MOST OTHER COMPANYS PRODUCING THIS TYPE OF TV.

- none

+ Excellent picture quality, even the SD is very good.

- Contrast is the only point to let it down.

+ everything about it is great, really great buy and well worth the money in comparison to others on themarket at the time.

- none

+ amazing quality picture yet it isnt 1080p. value for money what a bargain

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very clear picture even though we are non HD at the moment
Looks great
Sound is okay but you really need a home cinema system

- Very difficult to hide the wires at the back even with all the clips that are supplied

+ Picture quality is fantastic even without a HD signal - the picture from the built in digital TV receiver is way better than I had expected. Watching the 6-nations rugby on this TV from the built in receiver was a joy. I looked at a lot of LCD screens before choosing this plasma but the picture quality on the LCDs just wasn't as good. The LCDs can boast great specs but for some reason that doesn't translate to a great picture. I'm so glad I chose this plasma.

- Nothing.

+ Best 37" all rounder out there
Perfect for PS3 & 360
I dont have 5.1 speakers or a large living space and this TV having tried LCD a 32" from Sony its perfect for my needs.
Blurays play fine at 24fps even though Panasonic make no mention of this in their guides...they should!

- I have noticed a clicking noise from the back of the unit itself

+ Very impressed with the picture, especially from DVD using either HDMI or Component out. Freeview picture very good also but channel dependent (Otherwise 10 for picture). A great looking product. A good remote and menu system and good sound for most things. Fantastic value for money.

- None

+ Great natural colours compared to the LCD.

- Slight bluring of moving images, i.e. sports(this is no reason not to buy this tv, it is no worse than an LCD screen, but with Sky HD this is not a problem.

+ Very happy with the purchase. This is the first time I have bought through the internet. Always resisted in the past. Would be happy to do so again in the futute.

- None

+ the television is brilliant sound the quality of the picture and the over all appearance of the television on the stand so i would recommend this televison to anyone

+ Sleek design with stand, looks good. Good picture quality. Numerious input options including VGA.

- None so far.

+ Great picture quality, truly deep blacks wit a fast refresh time and clarity.

- Lacks depth of sound quality alone. Invest in a good surround sound system too.

+ fantastic depth in the picture, whilst on the stand looks like it worthy of sitting in any room.

- none

+ Neat design overall.

- Image quality could be crisper.

+ Good quality product with simple design. Does exactly what I want from a TV. Good picture and sound and easy to use and set up.

- Can't think of any

+ Brilliant picture

- Only 2 HDMI

+ First class picture: Sleek design: Easy set-up.

- Sound:

+ great picture though not full HD, sound good enough but not brilliant, nice design.

- hard to fault at the price

+ Having previously had an LCD this plasma TV has far better picture quality especially watching football and fast sports.

- Probably would have liked another scart/ AV socket on the back

+ Reviewer left no comment

- stand is extra

+ You can adjust the set to suit the viewer, ours is wall mounted and can be seen from nearly any point in the room. The quality of the picture is excellent. Black and white pictures are very clear without dark pools of light.

- Bought a high quality bracket and now feel reassured it won't fall off the wall.

+ Design, picture quality are very good

- Sound is ok but you will need a home cinema system if you want top quality sound

+ A wonderful visual experience. It even look sgood when switched off!

- none that have appeared so far

+ Very good picture

- 1) Over complex remote control.
2) Too many button presses when browsing through available channels/programmes and selecting channels to view (always given the option to record instead of view, which is a tad silly). Be good to change the defaults such that one always browsed movies.
3) Could ditch the internal speakers.if this would reduce the frame surround size still further.

+ Price
Image quality

- Sound not very strong

+ Picture has good depth, no motion blur. Great design and value for money.

+ a very good product.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Excellent picture, very good sound, looks great when purchased with the stand. It is secure and doesn't just sit on top of a table.

- When checking the TV Guide does not allow you to watch or hear the programme at the same time.

+ Easy set up. Crystal clear picture via cable, Freeview and DVD. Sound has depth and more volume than I need.

- HD pictures almost indistinguishable from standard definition.

+ Excellent picture

- None so far

+ the best tv in the 37-42 inch range that I came across and I looked at dozens before buying

- none so far

+ Simple and quick setup. Great connections for all my equipment. Upscaled DVDs look fantastic so can't wait to get HD tv and HD DVD this year.

- None that I can think of. Well maybe that it looks smaller now fter a few months so wish I had opted for the 42".
