5 Stars Panasonic Viera 37″ LCD HDTV TC-37LZ85 GREAT TV.
Just an amazing Picture….easy to use menu. Sound is 4 out of 5.

Rest is 5’s.

5 Stars Excellent Picture
I had doubts about the extra cost of the 1080p version over the 720p version. It is worth it.

The picture clarity, color and ease of use make it. Purchased through 6ave.com was also an

experience worth repeating, which I did for a HTIB unit. They have a price protection program

and they honored it, from their storefront, against their own web site, sweet. I will buy from them

again.

5 Stars Impressed
I just got this TV last week. We have a Panasonic 37″ Plasma upstair. I bought that TV over three years ago. At about 1/3rd the price, the Panasonic LCD is better. When comparing both TV’s, the HD channels are close. Though clearly the LCD provides a brighter picture, one could perfer the warmer picture on the Plasma. With non HD channels, however, there is no comparison. The new LCD produces a clear picture on the non HD channels. With the Plasma, on the other hand, many of the the non HD channels appear very grainy especially upon close viewing.

I read a lot of reviews before buying this TV and I can say the reviews were right on the money. I can’t imagine buying a better TV for the price ( I paid $749. + tax). As is typically the case the sound is just OK. I bought some inexpensive computer speakers and hooked them up to the earphone jack. I’m able to control the greatly improved sound with the remote.

4 Stars Great value for the Price
I bought last year’s 50 inch version of this tv (Panasonic TH-50px75u) and loved it. Last year I did months of research to find the right tv, and decided plasma was right for me. I liked the darker blacks, and plasma handles sports better than HDTVs at the same price level. The 720p resolution was great from more than 10 feet, so the price was right. I really liked the Pioneers too, but the premium pricing was too much for me. Samsungs were similarly priced, but I didn’t like the frames and that distracting blue light on the front.

So when I wanted to get a tv for my bedroom, I came back to Panasonic. I looked at several models (1080p versions, bigger versions) and ultimately decided for the price and since it was for my bedroom, that I would be happy with this version. I couldn’t justify spending 200 or more extra to get a 1080p version when cable is broadcast in 720p or 1080i.

I am very happy with the choice. Yes, if you stand within 4 feet of the set, you will see a screen door effect from the 720p resolution, but back off further than that (I am about 10 feet away in bed) and the picture is crisp and clear. At 42 in (and even 50 at normal seating distance), it is very hard to discern any resolution difference). The blacks are rich and the colors are vibrant. I also like that Panasonic was more thoughtful about where they placed the connections on the back this year, which make it a bit easier to get to them. And I find that the speakers are better quality than last year (and again, for the bedroom, just fine). I have my larger set hooked up to a receiver and speakers to manage sound in the living room.

The drawbacks: this tv doesn’t resolve some of the deep color gradients like a more expensive set would. For example, when there is a sun on the tv, you can see the rings of color subtly rather than the tv solving those into more of a smoothing effect. Not a big deal, but it is noticable. Also, I am not a fan of the stand this year as opposed to the previous year. It just seems a little cheaper, but still does it’s job.

So, bottom line, a great tv in its class. If you want top of the line, you will have to spend significantly more. But this set is still very good.

3 Stars “White Glove Service” Opinion
I recently purchased this TV for $699.00 with Amazon’s Free “White Glove” Delivery Service. While the overall ordering experience and price through Amazon was great, the “White Glove” delivery service was truly disappointing.

The set was shipped through CEVA and as promised, they called me in the morning to set up an evening delivery appointment. However, the deliveryman was alone (despite the “Dear Customer” letter he handed to me that clearly said that there were to be two deliverymen); nearly 1-1/2 hours late; and was very hesitant to unpack the tv set as promised by Amazon’s White Glove Service. He clearly wanted to get home as it was nearly 9:30 pm. If I had to do it all over again, I would have bought this tv down the street and carried it over myself. The promised deliver service was a big letdown.

Bottom line: Think twice about Amazon’s “White Glove” Service.

4 Stars Good quality product
Taking heed of previous reviews’ problems with installing the base stand, my wife and I took extra care in maneuvering the screen onto the prongs of the stand (two people are required unless you’re Charles Atlas). The quick installation guide misled us into thinking the attachment was external, but the user’s manual cleared up the confusion.

Channel setup was easy but not perfect. The automatic program missed the analog signal of one station and the digital signal of another. I still haven’t been able to manually achieve those channels. We are in the fringe area of both stations, but analog and digital signals of another station broadcasting from the same location were registered properly.

A DVD player/recorder/digital tuner & analog converter hooked up easily, and now I’m pondering how to hook up a VCR when analog signals cease in February.

5 Stars Wow!!!
Having read countless reviews of HDTV’s by new owners, I recognize that we all have similar stories of agonizing decision making. I have also noticed a tendency to gush about whatever TV has been purchased. Sometimes there are thoughtful critical and reflective reviews. I’m going to gush!

I didn’t start out to buy a 720p Panasonic 42 inch plasma. My original target was a 1080p LCD in the 37 to 42 inch range. The price range was $750-$1000. I did my internet home work and created my short list of 7 TV’s. Then I started visiting showrooms.

If you can afford a 1080p set, get it. But I’m convinced that the difference with a 720p set is only visible with larger screens, and when sitting very close to the screen.

It is hard to find a knowledgeable, helpful sales clerk. I got lucky at Sears. This clerk convinced me to add the Panasonic plasma to my short list. One of the attractions of the plasma was its ability to represent motion with a minimum of blurring or smearing. Also there have been significant improvements in plasma technology. But I still wasn’t sold on the idea of a plasma set.

Then I went to another store which had an amazing display comparing sets with a 60hz refresh rate and a 120hz refresh rate. The sets were arranged vertically and displayed the same sweeping panoramic images. The difference in clarity was astonishing. Yet I could not justify paying the premium (several hundred dollars) for the 120hz refresh rate.

My understanding is that the plasma’s 450hz refresh rate produces a motion image equivalent in quality (some say better) to that of a 120hz LCD. After doing some more internet research, I concluded that buying this set was a no brainer.

I bought mine at Sears the next day, picked it up, took it home, and had neighbor help me lift it and set it on my TV stand. I could have saved money buying it online, but I had to have it NOW! (The price on Amazon fluctuates, but I could have saved $100 to $150.)

Attaching my SONY upconverting DVD player ($80) was very simple, as was connecting my old SD satellite box. The whole process took about an hour, and I was quickly watching my first DVD, the avian documentary Winged Migration with its jaw dropping cinematography. Watching my cats react to the bird images was amazing in itself.

I had some frustrations with screen images after my new Dish Network HD satellite box was installed. There are several “format” settings on both the TV and the satellite box: zoom, full, just, 4:3, etc. At first the images for SD TV channels were larger than the screen and of poor quality. It took me a couple of hours to begin understanding the concept of formats, to discover the “format” button on the satellite remote, and to figure out the right combination of TV and satellite box settings to get images to display correctly.

The HD channel images are extra-ordinary. The SD channel images are better than I could ever have imagined. These, in combination with the novelty of an image twice as big as my old TV is still producing a “wow” effect for me.

As I said at the beginning, you will probably be ecstatic with whatever set you buy. But you should give serious consideration to the Panasonic line of plasma TV’s.

5 Stars Exceptional TV
My old CRT TV in the bedroom finally broke, so the opportunity to get a new flat screen arose. I already own a large Sony LCD projection TV for the family room, so I am used to Sony’s dependability and quality. I was not disappointed with this new one at all. It looks even better than my 60 in LCD projection downstairs. Very bright and vivid picture. You won’t be disappointed with it at all.

5 Stars Awesome TV
Rec’d my TV a few days ago, so far I love it. Its my first flat screen so I’m quite impressed. Has great sound and beautiful HD. My only complaint is the stand, its not adjustable and the TV isn’t perfectly level, for the money it should be of course. I did my own little thing and adjusted it myself, stand doesn’t swivel either. Other than that so far I’m pleased:)

5 Stars Love it!!!!
I absolutely love this tv. The picture on HD is amazing. For the price and not being the top of the line XBR, it surpassed my expectations. I always buy Sony and will never buy any other brand.

1 Star Disappointed with Amazon
Sony Bravia V-Series KDL-42V4100 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

This review refers to service as opposed to product. I am truly disappointed with my Amazon.com experience and want others to be aware of what purchasing from Amazon really means. I was purchasing a TV for a new place and found Amazon’s prices attractive. What really sold me on Amazon, however, was their so called “white glove” service and price guarantee. I needed someone to unpack the TV and put it on my media unit and Amazon’s white glove service promises they will do this. The reviews on their website related to delivery were excellent and were a major factor in my decision to order from them. I made a special point of making sure that I ordered from Amazon.com and not one of their vendors. Much to my surprise, when I received confirmation of my order, it was coming from a vendor in California instead of Amazon.com. Of course, I was unaware that vendors use other delivery services such as Fedex, and Fedex is not allowed to open boxes or help the customer to set anything up.

My other frustration with Amazon was the price guarantee. After reading reviews about how good Amazon was about honoring price guarantees, I felt confident that should the price drop, they would honor it. Well, the price did drop but when I contacted Amazon, they said that because it was a vendor, they do not provide any form of price guarantee. The delivery dates were not accurate either, and as a result, because I travel, I won’t be able to set up my TV until after the holidays.

Needless to say, the overall experience was awful, and I would never order items of this size and value from Amazon again. Order from a local company such as Best Buy and you will get your TV on time, get assistance with opening and positioning it, and get a real price guarantee.

5 Stars WOW!!
I cannot believe the “steal” price I got on this TV. I hooked it up with the Bravia surround system and it was too simple. The picture is amazing. At first we were a little concerned it would be too big for our small room but we were wrong.

5 Stars Great product at a great price!
Arrived safely before promised delivery date. Setup was a breeze. Picture quality on digital channels outstanding, analog channels better than previous analog TV (12 year old Sony). I was concerned about picture quality (for example drop-outs on digital channels) because although we are on cable, this particular outlet had been split into three therefore giving weak signal. But the digital channels are incredible. Price I paid was much lower than best offers from Best Buy and Circuit City.

5 Stars 32 Inch Sony 720p
This is simple enough. Sony/Amazon kept reducing the price on this set, and I grabbed it at a figure considerably below the usual electronics retail stores. It was to be installed in a small sitting room. It arrived one day before predicted. The shipper brought it upstairs, unpacked it, plugged it in and from that point forward, it’s been a joy to watch. Still working on setting up the various menu options, but I’m highly pleased, and…oh yes, the quality of HD programming is fantastic, as is the image from my Sony BluRay DVD. All in all, I’m very satisfied with this purchase.

5 Stars LOVE IT
I owned a plasma for 4 years (zenith 42″ edtv) and I loved it… looked great, sounded great, etc. I tried for the past couple of years to upgrade to full hd to no avail. I tried a 50″ samsung (terrible color, horrific sound) and a 50″ philips (decent, but not “great”). This sony BLEW MY MIND. Great picture, great sound, great build quality. You can’t go wrong. JUST BUY IT

3 Stars Samsung 46 inch is much better
We purchased a Samsung 46L650 from amazon but due to the $ 200 cash rebate issue (they promised cash rebate which turned out to be a sport memoribilia rebate) we returned it and got this sony instead. Since we got chance to view both samsung and sony, I can see definitely that Samsung screen looks much wider and bigger as compared to sony. The picture quality was also better with samsung plus they are cheaper too. One good feature of Sony was that you get good sound system but overall samsung wins in the looks. Also make sure you buy a power surge protector with such big ticket items. Trust me its worth the extra cost.

Hope this helps!

5 Stars A perfect HDTV
We researched the HDTV’s & went several times to different stores to see the picture quality. This set is as near to perfection that we could find. The size is perfect for our room(12×11). The quality of color, vividness & definition allows you to see every crease & wrinkle on the face. Color is life like & sharp so that your experiencing almost a 3D quality. We purchased the set from Amazon getting the best price around. Shipping took longer than expected but the wait was worth it. I highly recommend this set over a Samsung (which was our 2nd. choice). The glass screen on Samsung reflected everything. Amazon’s white glove service set everything up for us so that we only had to sit & enjoy.

5 Stars Very Impressive
I am very impressed with the clarity of the picture. The colors are absolutely brilliant. Very happy with purchase.

4 Stars Never received this product.
I actually canceled this order in favor of a Panasonic plasma TH-46PZ85U.

This TV was one of the best I’ve seen in the stores, but I wanted a plasma for better fast-action displays.

I’ve come to conclude that even with plasma there is some blur because there is blur in the broadcast of most channels. ESPN, ABC, CBS, etc all have blur. This is due to the camera focus, camera motion, and even MPEG compression of the signal.

So don’t shy away from an LCD, especially with 120Hz refresh. Just make sure you check it out in a local store - let your eyes be the judge.
