The Panasonic Viera TX-L37S10 – Worth Considering

by Tim Watts

Panasonic TX-L37S10, the entry level HD from Panasonic, appears to have been receiving contradicting reviews. However, as one takes a closer look at its features and specifications, there is no doubt that this new model from Panasonic is indeed great value for money. First, for an entry-level model that has full HD capabilities, it is competitively priced.

Let us take a look at some TX-L37S10 details. Diagonal measurement gives you thirty seven inches of viewing screen. Capable of rendering 1080p HD video input, it is excellent for Hi Definition content viewing. Playing games from PS3 and the like will make one realise the value of the TX-L37S10.

Its processor may not have the speed of other HD units, but serious gamers find this a great advantage. The processor of the TX-L37S10 may not be as fast as its counterparts, but it is certainly not slow. Because of its speed, though not reaching 100 hz, the motion lag experienced by viewers is lessened.

Another mark down is the absence of an onscreen menu manual setting for colour reproduction on the TX-L37S10. The more tech savvy viewers may find this one big shortcoming, but for most average viewers, this will not matter at all. Some may not even notice its absence.

To compensate for the missing onscreen menu option for colour reproduction, TX-L37S10 users will be very happy about its 50,000 to 1 high contrast ratio. Viewing any content using the HD mode gives one the true sense of satisfaction that only a hd TV TV can give. Use the close up function to see the minutest details.

Although sound reproduction is not really one of the strong points for this TX-L37S10 TV, it is understandable as it is an entry-level one. Moreover, it is a hole that is easy to mend. Just improve on the sound by adding a home theatre. Using the RCA jacks that are already built in to add surround sound in another good idea to improve on the sound system.

Inputs include HDMI, SCART, PC, S Video, and Composite. The Panasonic TX-L37S10 also includes an SD input slot for playing content back from an external device, such as content downloaded from the web to a computer.

Consistent with all of its sets in the S10 series, Panasonic has included IPS Alpha panel construction in the TX-L37S10 LCD screen. This helps to hold the images together and make the picture appear sharper, even from extremely wide angles. One does not even get the bleaching effect that is common with many LCD TVs with this model, even at extremely wide angles.

To sum it all up, in spite of its minor flaws, the TX-L37S10 really is worth buying. Panasonic can indeed be proud of the newest member in its full HD TV family. Given its reasonable pricing and above satisfactory features, the Panasonic TX-L37S10 will make the buyer appreciate HD TV.
