Panasonic Viera TC-37LZ800 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review
I've had this TV for around two months and it is a monster -- in a good way. Picture quality, be it standard or HD, is superlative, as is the sound (my other LCD, a Samsung Series 6 32", on the other hand, has poor sound quality). Out of the box, manual in hand, I made some quick, minor adjustments and got just the picture I wanted. Colors are realistic (but can be toned up or down, depending on personal taste), contrast is perfect, blacks are really black. I thought I'd have trouble watching sports such as tennis -- small ball, lots of confusing color and superquick movement --, but there was none. The action is always smooth and crisp, even when I'm not as far away from the TV as I should be. HD picture is superb, to say the least. So lifelike I almost forget I'm looking at a screen.
Although the TV is on during the day (I have it in my home office), I didn't notice any reflections or glare from natural light. For me, no need for a matte screen. I also like that the black frame is non-intrusive. Actually, I quite like the TV's design: simple, functional, with clean lines. The remote control is intuitive and one learns the button layout easily. Menus are easily accessible and settings can be changed in a jiffy. My one tiny bit of criticism goes to the position of the volume and channel buttons (up and down): in every single TV or cable box I've ever owned, the volume buttons are on the left of the remote and the channel, on the right. The Panasonic's remote, for some odd reason, has them the other way around! In the beginning, I switched a lot of channels when I wanted to change the volume, but I've gotten used to this small quirk.
That Panasonic would dedicate so much attention, care and technology to a 37" TV makes life for us -- consumers who want fine quality screens in smaller sizes -- a lot easier and more pleasureable. I highly recommend the 37LZ800 37-inch TV.

Customer Reviews
best TV - Lynda Fowles - Bayville,NJ
looked in cosumers first & this was the best rated. We love it in the bedroom (size). Has a sharp, clear picture and easy to mount. Would always buy this in a bigger size for another room.
Amazing LCD TV - T. Foster - Longmont, CO
It's just as good as Consumer Report's had said. I love the picture quality and the clarity is amazing. However, when I switch it off each night on the power strip and then flip it back on, it wants me to program it (language, etc.). I'm trying to avoid the dreaded "phantom load" - where consumer electronics suck electricity even when they're powered off. It was more expensive than other other TVs as well - but definitely worth it.
37LZ800 - Alex Duran -
This TV is AWESOME! Best TV i have owned yet. The clear panel makes this TV. I would tell anyone to get this TV no matter how much. The 37LZ800 handles motion great. Looks better then a 120Hz TV.
