Offering excellent picture performance, Panasonic's 37-inch VIERA
TC-L37X2 LCD HDTV provides 720p high-definition imagery and includes a
Universal Dock for Apple iPod, which enables you to control and play
music and video directly from your iPod or iPhone through your VIERA
HDTV. This X2 series model also features 24P Playback function for
superb imagery from 24-frame movies on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, Game Mode
for faster image response while playing immersive 3D games, a 20,000:1
contrast ratio, and an improved panel with In Plane Switching (IPS) for
an ultra-wide viewing angle and higher moving picture resolution that
results in clear, bright images.
This and other models in the X2
line offer Panasonic's VIERA Image Viewer feature, which enables you to
play slideshows of JPEG images stored on SD memory cards, as well as
the VIERA Link feature for controlling a variety of compatible
components--from Blu-ray Disc players to digital cameras--through a
single remote.
Adhering to Panasonic's commitment to the
environment, this VIERA model--as well as all 2010 models--features
improved power consumption and meets the new, more stringent Energy Star
4.0 requirements.
Great picture and perfect size
for guest bedroom
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.
No complaints, really...
Got this because I moved into a new apartment that
already had a bracket on the wall for a flatscreen TV with a label that
said, "No greater than 37 inches". So I looked for 37-inch models online
and compared, and got this one because it was at a reasonable price and
had the extra feature of the iPod/iPhone dock. Sometimes I'm driving
home from work listening to podcasts and want to plug the iPhone in
somewhere at the house to finish listening to it.
I use it mostly with an Apple TV via HDMI (another reason I got a
720p instead of a 1080p) and it looks great. I purchased a Sharp Sound
Bar (HTSB500) separately and they work nicely together, but there's one
little bug. I linked them with an optical cable (the only all-audio-out
option in the TV) and every time the audio goes totally silent, like
when I pause the Apple TV, or even when it goes from one song to
another, the sound bar stops working for up to 6 seconds, which is
rather annoying. I'm guessing the soundbar "turns itself off" when it
detects no signal the awakes after hearing it, but the delay can be very
annoying. It works fine as long as the audio stream is not interrupted
though.
Not sure what else to say about the TV, other than it works great
for me.
