26 Nov 2009As far as the newest crop of set released recently goes, the Panasonic Viera TX-L37S10 appears to be receiving mostly positive, but a few negative reviews. This comes as a bit of a surprise when one considers that this is an entry level model of full HD capable television sets. If one takes a realistic look at the features and specifications for this TV set, one realises quickly that it is an excellent value for the price.
Measuring its screen diagonally, the Panasonic TX-L37S10 gives you thirty-seven inches of 1080p high definition video input. This makes the newest member of the S10 series excellent when it comes to viewing contents from PS3, Blu Ray HD and the like.
While this TX-L37S10 TV does not include the new 100 hz processor being seen on so many of the higher end models, it actually suffers from less motion lag than many television sets that do have the faster processor. This is a true advantage for serious gamers.
Some complain that the onscreen menu does not allow for manual setting of the colour reproduction the way some other TV sets from other manufacturers do. While this may be important to tech savvy professional, the average viewer buying the TX-L37S10 to watch at home will not be likely to notice or care.
Now, let us see what the TX-L37S10 is proud of. Its contrast ratio of 50, 000 to 1 is certainly something to brag about. With the use of HD mode, this ratio of high contrast will certainly give one immeasurable viewing pleasure, as the images are sure to be the sharpest. If the close up feature is used, one will be amazed at the tiniest details that can be seen.
Although sound reproduction is not really one of the strong points for this TX-L37S10 TV, it is understandable as it is an entry-level one. Moreover, it is a hole that is easy to mend. Just improve on the sound by adding a home theatre. Using the RCA jacks that are already built in to add surround sound in another good idea to improve on the sound system.
Composite, S Video, PC, SCART and HDMI are some inputs included in the TX-L37S10 TV. It also has an SD slot which allows the user to view contents from external devices such as downloads from a computer or the Internet.
Consistent with the other models in the S10 series, the TX-L37S10 also has the IPS Alpha panel construction in the LCD screen. What this does is it makes the pictures appear sharper by the way, it holds the pictures. Even when watching from an extremely wide angle, one does not have to put up with bleaching effect, which is common amongst many LCD TV.
All in all, if one is in the market for an entry level 37″ viewable television, one could do far worse than buy a Panasonic Viera TX-L37S10. For the price, it is an exceptionally good value that performs far and away better than most other comparably priced televisions. Any shortcomings one might spot are not really shortcomings when considers realistically that this is an entry level TV. Those who wish for more options to calibrate the colours themselves or faster processing speeds will simply have to look at a more expensive set. This does quite well for what it is intended, better than most.
