Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD85

The Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD85 is a 37 inch Full HD LCD HDTV that is styled in a combination of gloss black and silver. The design sports a thicker than average bezel and is complemented by a silver curved speaker bar that is fitted at the bottom of the front section.

Features

The Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD85 features 1080p HD (Blu-ray disc) which gives it a rich colour pallete and a great amount of visible detail. Besides that, it has a sharpening feature that cannot be displayed but works well against the quality of images by emphasizing the boundaries of the blocks which make up the compressed images. Inaddition to that, the Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD85 is also compatible with 24p Input and display which means that no telecine judder will be visible from Blu-ray Discs outputting in this mode, thus projecting the movie the way directors intended it to be. Additionall, the Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD85 also has standard definition integrated Freeview digital television. As for video features, the images output from the Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD85’s built-in DVB tuner are treated a little differently than those sent to the AV inputs. Besides that, they are also treated to MPEG Noise reduction which can’t be disabled. Other than that, the Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD85 also has “Game Mode” to lessen the lag in game playing, giving better responsiveness and a better game feel.

    A month or so ago we saw Panasonic's new range of LCD TVs get off to a very likeable start in the 32in shape of the TX-32LZD80 . But, while undoubtedly very good, this TV was still from the relatively lower reaches of the new range, making us wonder just what glories we might expect from TVs higher up the Panasonic tree. Well, now we're about to find out. For before us today is the 32LZD80's costlier, better specified brother, the 32LZD85. Read more

    Certainly one of the most accomplished 32in LCD TV's currently available. The TX32LZD85 stands out from the crowd with a strong performance in all areas. Read more

    It suffers from the same defect as its big brother: the absence of an HD compatible digital tuner. Read more

    The Panasonic Viera TX-32LZD85 is well made, aesthetically pleasing and most importantly a good picture even with a weak Freeview signal. It's a bit expensive for a 32" TV but does most things pretty well. The most dissapointing part is the sound quality, which is just not good enough at this price point If you can get a good deal on this set, or a free 5 year guarantee the it's a great buy. At RRP it's still a good TV, but VfM is reduced so on ly a good buy. Read more

    I purchased this model of TV approximately 10 months ago and have not looked back, it is superb. I looked for information about a 32 inch TV that would be ideal for PS3, both gaming and for watching blu ray disk and this came up top of the list. I can confirm that the picture is the best I have seen on a 32" LCD TV and the sound is superb although I would recomend a home conema system if sound is critical. There are various site on the internet that will help with... Read more

    Excellent picture quality with stunning detail from 1080i format. Watching sports was excellent and the picture stayed with the fast moving action without any signs of edge blurring. External dimensions do not overpower the room yet it still manages to give an excellent picture size. Read more
