Manufacturer's Description

Panasonic TH-37PX7

1080p DIGITAL RE-MASTERING PROCESSOR
STANDARD VIDEO SIGNALS UP-CONVERTED TO 1080P HD IMAGE QUALITY THAT RIVALS TRUE HD
VIERA converts signals from TV programmes and DVD movies – the kind of content you watch most often - to 1080p high-definition signals. The result is reproduction of images faithful to the original, with superb detail and subtle picture nuances intact.This makes sure that you get all the beauty that was in the original images.

1080p DIGITAL PROCESSING CHIP-SET
PROGRESSIVE CONVERSION OF HD VIDEO SIGNAL
STUNNING IMAGE CLARITY
VIERA converts high-definition 1080i and 720p video signals to 1080p (progressive) signals to achieve even higher resolution. When a Blu-ray source is input, VIERA processes the 1080p video signals in their original form to maintain exquisite image quality.VIERA's high-resolution, high-definition images are perfect for large-screen viewing.

HD OPTIMIZER
NOISE ELIMINATED FROM DIGITAL VIDEO
SIGNALS A MUCH CLEANER IMAGE
The HD Optimizer detects and removes the kind of noise unique to digital video signals. It analyzes every scene and applies the level of noise reduction most suitable for each, helping to bring out the full image quality of high-definition sources. That's why HD images are so clear, detailed and beautiful on VIERA's large screen.

MOTION PATTERN NOISE REDUCTION
SMOOTH, CLEAR MOTION IMAGES
This function reduces the false contour noise that sometimes occurs in motion images on a plasma display panel to reproduce smooth, noiseless motion images. It detects motion patterns that tend to generate noise, and then makes the necessary adjustments to maximize image quality. This results in sharp, clear reproduction of even high-speed motion images by maximizing the superb gradation capability of the plasma display panel, thus offering improved motion image quality.

PRONOUNCED LUMINANCE MODE
CONTRAST ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO THE SCENE
VIERA analyzes each scene and adjusts the picture accordingly to assure optimum brightness. In a bright scene it enhances picture sharpness, while in a dim scene it helps reproduce crisper, deeper blacks. This mode helps VIERA deliver images with outstanding contrast.

ADVANCED 3D COLOUR MANAGEMENT
EFFECTIVE COLOUR CORRECTION WITHOUT AFFECTING COLOUR BALANCE
This system controls multiple colours at the same time without affecting neighbouring colours. By independently adjusting the colour hue, density and brightness, it brings out the full beauty and richness of every image.

VIERA DRIVER
The high-performance driver optimizes the performance of the display panel. This helps VIERA render images that have smooth, crystal-clear motion and delicate colours with rich gradation.

VIERA G10 PANEL
This provides clear, vivid display of the video signal after processing by the V-real II/V-real Pro II processor and driver. The result is deep, rich blacks and beautiful, sharp images with vivid colour even when viewing in bright light.

NEW DEEP BLACK FILTER
We reduced this filter’s light transmittance, so you can enjoy clean, beautiful images with deeper, richer blacks. We also applied an original Panasonic anti-glare process to the filter surface, to suppress external glare and reflection.

SUB-PIXEL CONTROLLER
SMOOTH IMAGES - NO JAGGED EDGES
This system corrects the image contours by adjusting each R, G and B dot, so it delivers smooth contour lines even at diagonal sections, where jagged lines are normally conspicuous on a large screen.

Customer Reviews

Superb
Three weeks into ownership and feel that my 12 month quest to find a replacement for my ageing Philips CRT TV was well rewarded.

Installation was simple, the self tuning taking a couple of minutes to find the channels. The EPG is easy to use as are all the functions available on the clearly labelled remote control.

I had thought I might have to upgrade to a digital aerial however signal quality is excellent via the existing analogue array. Sound quality is good enough and would have to be exceptional to match the old TV's surround with rear speakers.

The picture is superb watching digital TV, (haven't tried analogue but why bother?) and even with my cheap as chips DVD the colours are bright and the contrast has to be reduced to avoid eye strain.

The manual is easy to understand but not often required as the controls are intuitive however there is no reference to mounting the screen on wall brackets. The mounts are there - just hidden behind blanking plugs.

Having used this screen for a few weeks i can't think of anything negative to say - I wanted a quality Plasma flat screen to give a great picture and this Panasonic has done the job.

So far so good - now for the matching PVR..........

Better than any LCD
I brought this TV a few months ago after many trips to well known tv shops. I looked at many LCDs which were always showing a HD picture and looked great. I asked for some models to be put on standard TV or just sky,and the picture went for great to poor. This Plasma is fantastic compaired to the rest of the market 32"LCD and above. The picture is cristal clear especially through sky standard digital with no motion blurring at all,blacks are black and whites are white. It could do better with sound reproduction but for the price not a grumble.I think Panasonic are now going for LCD on there 37"TVs. I have not seen one yet but get a Plasma while you can.

Delighted
After a ton of research i'm happy i've made the right choice, standard cable sky looks great, football looks excellent as the set handles the motion excellently unlike some of the Sony's i've looked at.
I'm running everything through my PS3 with a HDMI cable and my old DVD's look fantastic, beautiful deep blacks.
Blu ray is really stunning and my games look great. All in all i'm really happy with the set as it seems to be an all round performer. I really can't fault the set, sound is find but i've got mine hooked up to a few speakers and it rocks.
Was a bit worried about the set not being full HD but my games and blu ray look so good i can't see the benefit on a set this size and i now think its a bit of a gimmick. Anyway i can't recommend this set high enough and its also excellent value and no calibration or messing when setting up, delighted.
