Panasonic - 720p, lcd
I just received this television and am very happy with it for multiple reasons:
1. It's the perfect size for our guest bedroom (approx. 10x12). We tried a 42" plasma but it seemed to take up too much space on the dresser and dominated the room.
2. In my opinion, the picture is better than the plasma we tried (42" Samsung). Plasmas have darker blacks, but the colors just don't pop like they do on the LCD televisions we have (we also have a 52" Samsung LCD in the family room). FYI, we have a 42" Panasonic plasma in our bedroom which I like, so maybe Panasonic just makes a better TV in this price range. Who knows?
3. Set-up was incredibly easy. 8 screws to attach the base to the TV and you're done with that part. The TV leads you through a set-up procedure when you turn it on the first time: setting the language, date/time, selecting/naming input sources, etc.
4. The iPod/iPhone plug-in is a nice add-on. Basically, it's a free throw in and if nothing else, you can use it as a charger for your iPod/iPhone even if you don't want to play music with it.
I would go so far as to recommend this TV for a main television given the overall picture quality and ease of use. For the price, this one is going to be tough to beat. Panasonic TC-L37X2 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV with iPod Dock
This Panasonic is an excellent LCD TV. I was considering a 42 inch plasma, but my wife found a nice solid oak TV armoire for our new house. The TC-L37X2 was just the right size, so I went with it. The picture is crisp with great color. My only negative comment would be that the internal speakers are not very loud (they still sound pretty decent). I usually play audio through my surround system anyway, so it's not much of an issue. I would definitely recommend using an external sound system in conjunction with this TV. Overall, I'm very satisfied.
I was looking for an affordable TV for the bedroom and stumbled upon this model while surfing Amazon. All the research I did on flat panel TV's indicated that Panasonic is well respected in this arena. So after doing a little more research on this particular model and discovering that Amazon sold it for the lowest price I could find anywhere, I purchased this a week ago and I couldn't be happier.
This is a great TV for the price. I used component cables and the picture is fantastic. The iPod dock is awesome as well. Not only can you listen to the music stored on your iPod, you can also watch videos and movies stored on your iPod - bye, bye DVD player. Other reviews note poor sound quality, but it is not that bad. Sound for just watching the TV is fine, but if you are looking to crank up the tunes played through your iPod you will be disappointed because they are just average, little TV speakers. However, as a TV for my bedroom that only gets turned on in the morning for an hour or so it is a great set at a great price.
This was my first time buying a TV through Amazon so I was a little nervous. I selected Super Saver shipping and expected to receive it the following week, but it was delivered the day after it shipped from Amazon. I placed my order on Tuesday, it shipped Wednesday, and was delivered on Thursday. I am completely satisfied with Amazon's price, shipping, and the TV itself. So much that my next flat panel will be another Panasonic. If you are looking for a second TV you will not be disappointed with this model.
I recently bought this Panasonic LCD for use in our extra bedroom as a second TV, mainly for watching movies and playing games, and I could not be happier. It took some tweaking to get the picture how I wanted it, but once I found the right settings the TV looks absolutely phenomenal, better in fact that my 42in 1080p Philips LCD. For a TV this size 1080p is not at all necessary, so paying the extra money is a waste. For the price it will be tough to find a better picture than what this TV provides. It is worth mentioning that, like most TVs, the stock speakers are not up to snuff. I ended up picking up a Panasonic-brand sound bar to go with this TV and I am glad I did. Now I have great sound to match the great picture, and both items were fairly cheap and work perfectly in a smaller space. The iPod Dock is a nice feature, but again, you probably won't want to listen to music through the stock TV speakers, though it is still a convenient way to charge your iPod if you have one.
To summarize, this is a great TV for the price and size and works well as either a main or second TV. Definitely look into buying a separate sound system if you want the full home theater experience, or even decent sound. And if you need HDMI cables make sure to order some cheap ones online. Never spend more than $10 on an HDMI cable. That is all.
i have a 1 bedroom apartment and this 37 inch is perfect for it. Also I think Panasonic quality is at least equal
to Samsung. A 37 inch LCD tv is at the point where if you go to a 42, it will cost at least 150 to 200 dollars more for a panasonic or samsung. (best quality brands in my opinion) this TV has great sound, I like everything about this TV. - Panasonic - Hdtv - 720p - Lcd'
