Best Deal Around

This is a gorgeous TV - just the right size. The picture is so clear and sharp. The price was lower than anywhere around - I would purchase from this supplier again.

Excellent tv, great value

Great tv, looks fantastic. I bought this for my family room and the size is perfect. For me I was looking at this tv, the vizio 37 720p and a Samsung 40 in. I already own a Samsung Plasma

Pros:
1080P
Sports look great/fast response time
Excellent sound, better than my samsung plasma
Cheapest 1080P tv I have found

Cons:
No PC input, but I think I can just buy a dvi/hdmi adapter
Remote: Remote does not work right until the tv has been on for at least a minute. I use my satellite remote so this is not that big of an issue

You wont go wrong with this tv, I have it hooked up to directv, wii, 1080p dvd player and a apple tv.

beyond expectation

I just received this set today, after weeks of web and in-store research. I had always thought that the Panasonic LCDs looked a bit better than the Sonys and Samsungs at the stores, and looked very much better off-axis (important in our room). Well, all I can say is they must not have had the set adjusted very well in the store.... it looks way better at home that it even did there!

I actually chose this set not only for what I had seen in the store (a little better picture, but not by a lot as I saw it there) but because I had read some reports on the net that the Panasonic IPS-Alpha screens generally do better on standard and analog TV than most other types. We have a lot of old VHS (such as home movies) and wanted a good quality set on which these would still be watchable. I'd say the old tapes look as good on this set as on the old CRT set, other than the expected results of the screen just being so much larger showing the lack of detail. A nice surprise, even analog over the  more

Quite happy with the TV

Bought it from Amazon and got it via CEVA in 5 days (could have been shorter as it was shipped from a warehouse just 500 miles from where I live :) I almost bought the 32LZ800 for almost the same price but decided to get this due to the matte screen, I dont like the glossy screens. Also I got a Panasonic due to the IPS panel instead of the PVA variants from most other vendors. Look at all the sets at a 45 deg angle before you decide :)

Razor sharp pictures through a PS3, SDTV is not bad (after reducing the sharpness etc), no VGA input, adequate sound (though could have been a little louder).

The factory default settings are not great but it can be tuned to display pleasing results. For a 2008 TV, I am unhappy that there isnt a separate RGB control.

Overall its a good purchase. If you need a no-frills panel, this is a good choice, given that it was the cheapest 37" TV from Amazon when I bought it.

Great Picture....

Ok well this is my first review of anything here so off we go.... I purchased this TV a few weeks back and could not be happier. This is the first HD TV I have ever purchased so I did a lot of reading up on what is hit and miss. Big Hit! For a smaller living room, which we have it is perfect. I am hooked up to Suddenlink HD cable, getting Direct TV soon, a Panasonic up convert DVD player and my PS3. Amazing picture and a great value as well. I was on the fence at first but I tore that fence down and this TV is here to stay. Very user friendly, 3 HDMI inputs make connection a snap. Audio is typical for a TV but I have mine running through an Onkyo home theater receiver, so the marks are pretty good. I was really surprised how well SD channels looked; you know the difference but they looked just as good, even better that my old tube set. Watched "Night at the Museum" on Blu-ray and it was like the picture was so lifelike all my wife kept saying was "WOW" and I would have to agree. Also comes  more

Reviews about this product

After reading other comments I can confirm that people don't read carefully and gave poor reviews to this item not because they want to comment on the item itself but on the "misleading advertisement" according to them... If you look at the "More Buying Options" part, several sellers have their price below $1000 and only Amazon and other few are above $1000.
For the people that gave poor reviews: READ FIRST!! This is the place to review about the quality of a product and experience with it, not to complain about something that is not even true...!!

Quite happy with the TV except for 1) lack of VGA input 2) no RGB controls

The factory default settings are not great but it can be tuned to display pleasing results. For a 2008 TV, I am unhappy that there isnt a separate RGB control. Another bummer is the lack of a VGA input: my older laptop doesnt have DVI/HDMI. Every 32-37" LCD I have seen has this input and I didnt check this before ordering :( With a VGA port and the RGB controls, I would have given it 5 stars.

Consumer Reports Score Results

Consumer Reports gives this model the top score for 37" models. Their retail price is listed at $1400. I'd rather buy products from Amazon than third-parties offering lower prices because I trust Amazon to resolve any product or shipping problems that might occur.

1-star reviews below are ABSOLUTELY childish.

I own a 40" Panasonic Viera similar to this model and it works beautifully and reliably.

There are three reviews below each giving this product 1-star ratings. BUT, when you read why it got the 1-star, you find out that none of these reviewers own the product. They are complaining about pricing. Amazon advertised them under 1000 but it was actually 1029.99...ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? If you can't afford the extra $29.99 please stop looking around for a TV in this size range or find a cheaper brand.

I see right through these 3 reviewers. They're hoping to scare Amazon into giving them a price cut for their "Trouble and Misery". Just do it the right way ok guys? Don't ruin a products rating, that rating is reserved for people who own the item and can attest to its performance. Not con-artists trying to get a deal. That other "designer" with the one star posting embarrasses everyone in my profession.

Once again, I own a larger Viera and the thing has worked wonderfully. It's NOT a Sony XBR5  more

This is not a review ...

and neither are the other two. I understand the desire to register complaint about a misleading advertisement. However, these "reviews" worsen the situation by misleading other users of Amazon's site into believing that you are attesting to the poor quality of the product. For all the authors know, it may be the best value in the history of TVs.
