Panasonic Viera TXP37X20 HD Ready Plasma Television Reviewed

The sole 37" plasma TV available to consumers in 2010 is the Panasonic VIERA TX-P37X20B; it's also among the first televisions available this year.If 37" is your limit, and plasma is your current TV technology of choice, then the Panasonic VIERA TX-P37X20 is, hands down, your new TV.Of course, there are still plenty of reasons to buy the Panasonic TX-P37X20B plasma television over a similar LCD screen. Topping that list are viewing angles that no LCD television can touch, a very affordable price tag, and an extraordinary contrast ratio (2,000,000: 1).

The Panasonic TX-P37X20B stands out with a 2,000,000: 1 dynamic contrast ratio. A precise light and dark balance is masterfully achieved with the help of Panasonic's original Real Black Drive panel production process, setting it even farther apart from competing LCD screens. Vibrant colours pop out of inky black backgrounds with robustness that only the most expensive new LED lit LCD TVs can match. New LED backlit and LED edge lit LCD TVs are all that can compete with the Panasonic TXP37X20B's dynamic picture.

There is no loss of brightness or contrast as your viewing angle moves away from the centre, making Panasonic's claims that the VIERA TX-P37X20 is free of viewing angle limitations completely true. LCD TVs, on the other hand, are notorious for severely diminished brightness and contrast as the viewing angle strays away from the centre. The Panasonic TXP37X20 plasma TV's self-illuminating display looks the same from virtually anywhere in the room. This ensures that you'll get the best image possible wherever you choose to sit, regardless of whether or not your favourite seat is located away from the centre of the set.

Driven with 100Hz of processing speed, you won't get the flicker and lack of stability found in 50Hz plasma televisions, but you will get smooth, natural images that help to reduce eye fatigue. Image blur in fast-paced video games is solved with the addition of the TXP37X20B's Game Mode, which works together with extraordinary contrast, truly deep blacks, and 24p (frames per second) playback to provide unique and satisfying gameplay. Movie buffs will enjoy the lack of any motion blur marring the action of a film, and appreciate the dramatic colours that the Panasonic VIERA TX-P37X20B can bring out of blu-rays - a format known for its profoundly deep colours.

Built into the VIERA HD ready panel is a Freeview digital tuner. Free-to-air digital television and radio services offered by the UK's Freeview Service on the Digital Terrestrial Television Platform are easily accessible to owners of the Panasonic TX-P37X20. Freeview currently offers more than 60 channels, including Film 4, ITV2, and BBC Three. Freeview, combined with the digital satellite services Freesat and Freesat HD, will be available to more than 90% of the UK's residents upon completion of the planned analogue to digital switchover.

All of your AV devices are brought together with VIERA Link utilizing DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) standards. Connect all of the devices with HDMI cables and your VIERA remote control will operate them all - they don't even have to be Panasonic products. Add VIERA Link to the already astounding list of features included in the new Panasonic TXP37X20, and, combined with an affordable price tag, there's really no reason not to buy this addition to Panasonic's line.
