Sheer PerfectionIt does not get better-Panasonic TH-37PX8BA 37″ Widescreen Plasma TV

HD Models with Superb Image Quality and Advanced Networking Capabilities (2 HDMI terminals)

Every image is expressive from bright scenes, such as scorching desert landscapes, to dark cave scenes. Contrast is enhanced by the new Real Black Drive system (a pre-discharge control system) and a higher base luminance from improvements made to the panel production process. The high contrast creates deep, robust blacks and reproduces scenes with a delicate balance of light and shadow.

You can enjoy beautiful cinematic reproduction of movie images. The images that are recorded onto movie film at 24 frames per second (fps) are reproduced at two times that speed by 24p Playback. This achieves film-like reproduction than with the 2:3 processing method.

3,072 Equivalent Steps of Gradation lends natural expression to images such as sunsets. VIERA’s large colour space covers 110% of the HDTV colour standard. This wide gamut has been achieved by an advanced panel structure and a newly developed filter, which produce richer, more vivid colouring.
In addition to brilliant picture quality, VIERA models offer the easy operation made possible by VIERA Link. This feature lets you operate other connected Panasonic AV components using only the VIERA TV’s remote control unit.

I few weeks ago a bought a Toshiba 32″ that everybody raved about and sure the depth etc was good..very good BUT the haze and judder drove me crazy. I had done a lot of research prior so was very disappointed…so disappointed that i gave it away to my ladyfriend and resolved that the next time i would get a TV with a perfect picture. I read loads of reviews and in particular took stock of the expert reviewers and to my great surprise found one that said “The Panasonic TH-37PX8BA 37 is perfect”! I checked out the full spec and yes it does have 100hz and yes to all the things i wanted (don’t get confused with the power level of 50hz!) so i decided to get it. It arrived two days ago and in all honesty was a little disappointed..again!(sigh). Now…during my travels i read a review which used the expression “settling in”, a concept which i held no truck with but to my great pleasure the Panasonic TH-37PX8BA 37 has done just that and i can’t fault it…well almost..LOL! The only critisism being that i can’t use the “Dynamic” PDST setting all the time but then i really couldn’t care less because the other settings give crystal clear judder and haze free..yes haze free!!..Using my Sony upscaler it provides me with pictures which i defy anyone to say aren’t as good as full HD..The Panny really is the greatest!! There was some critisism in the expert reviews about how it handles standard definition TV but again once it settles in the Panny is amazing..in fact i was muttering to myself about the definition of Ice Age 2 because i couldn’t quite get the definition i wanted when i remembered that this was a recording from a Freeview transmition i was dealing with..the quality was so good that i had mistaken it for an upscaled DVD picture that wasn’t “just so”!

Make no mistake..i am incredibly critical and i will not live with second best when it comes to my TV. The Panasonic TH-37PX8BA 37 really does give me the best pictures i have ever seen..even in the shops looking at very very expensive systems i have not seen better..i do not beleive there is better..in theory perhaps there is but not to the human eye.
I should mention that these fantastic results do not just arrive automatically all the time but usually the picture is spot on. Sometimes-occassionally you will need to set the picture to get exactly what you want. Regarding sport: Mostly the pictures are wonderful but soccer remains a difficult area…no where near as bad as i had become used to but still a little difficult in that you will need to work the PDST settings to get a haze free picture but rest assured you will get a good picture.

In short: Get it!..do not look any further…do not hesitate..do it and you will live happily everafter in a rosy glow of contentment with your Panasonic TH-37PX8BA 37″….:)
