Panasonic TC-L37S1
Television sets have been around for so many years already, yet they keep on getting better and better and the Panasonic TC-L37S1 is just one of them. But there are some people that simply won’t abandon their old CRT TVs that are still fully functional and big enough to please the family.
This is one of the greatest challenges that major television manufacturers face because the bigger, thinner, and better LCD displays cost more. HDTVs haven’t been so attractive to average consumers until recently and the Panasonic TC-L37S1 is built to replace the older models by offering many impressive features while keeping the cost less than $1,000.

Technical Features
The Panasonic TC-L37S1 offers full 1080p HDTV resolution so you can enjoy your favorite movies in their best quality and enjoy the latest games in hi-def. It also offers a 178 degree wide viewing angle so you can see the wonderful visuals with good brightness and clarity from any spot of the room. You may encounter glares during the day when viewing on certain angles, but the “Vivid” picture mode takes care of it. Combined with the sleek design, there should be no issues when setting up the home entertainment system and room layout.
It has a contrast ratio of 15,000:1 which is excellent for deep blacks. Although the number of color settings are limited, the Intelligent Scene Controller which includes both gamma correction and backlight control allow even better options to improve the contrast further for greater emphasis on deep blacks as well as clean whites, and color transitions. Plenty of connectivity options are included as well coming with 3 HDMI connections for all the other entertainment devices and component and PC inputs.
Actual user review:
“I’ve had this tv for almost two weeks now and have not had any problems with it so far. the picture quality is outstanding when it is connected to hi-def tv channels. standard-definition channels also look great on this television. the tv does have some glare in rooms with windows but does’nt seem to be very problematic at all so don’t let that be a reason not to buy it. I have my xbox 360 connected to the tv via hdmi and all games I’ve played on it look really good. the television has great sound quality so that makes it even more ideal for playing video games as well. if you are looking for a great budget hdtv for playing video games and watching movies in high definition then you should look no further than this panasonic TC -L37S1 HDTV and get one ASAP!” -J.Gosnell (USA)
Technologies & Extra Features
Because the Panasonic TC-L37S1 is geared towards affordability, don’t expect too many flashy technologies on this device, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing because the quality overall is pretty good and it still manages to squeeze in the Motion Focus technology which provides improved resolution during high-speed action scenes. Not all HDTVs manage to do this including some 1080p ones.
The VIERA Image Viewer which is popular in the larger TVs is also included complete with SD card slot so you can take your SD card of your camera and immediately plug it into the TV turning it to a huge digital photo frame with some basic features that is good for sharing pictures to others.
The VIERA Link is also featured enabling you to use a single remote to control any other Panasonic devices eliminating a messy pile of remotes. This is definitely the TV of choice if you have several Panasonic devices.
The Panasonic TC-L37S1 also makes a great gamer’s TV not only because of its high resolution no matter what action is taking place, but the Game Mode as well so you can easily switch your settings to the best configuration before you start playing. This is a pretty good TV to have if size isn’t a major factor or if you are willing to modernize your living room without spending a fortune.
