Panasonic TC-L37D2 Review: 37” LED LCD HDTV

Up for Review: Panasonic TC-L37D2 LED LCD TV. After proving its supremacy in the Plasma HDTV market, Panasonic forays into the LED world this year with the intention of providing stiff competition to the leaders in the LED market. This model however does not boast of the much acclaimed 3D technology or the Internet access features. The USP of the model is the universal dock for iPod. It includes an iPod entertainment kit which allows all the music loaded onto your iPod to be played on the HDTV. The IPS panel is another important feature of this model which provides wide viewing angle and just the right kind of brightness. The LED backlights work with the IPS panel to give superb pictures even when you are not seated right in front of the TV.

The IPS panel together with the LED technology provides the correct mix of color and is also responsible for the slimness of the TV. Additionally it also cuts down the electricity bills and saves a lot of power. The LED backlights are strategically placed at the top and bottom of the panel which helps focus the light at the center. Light guides and diffusers spread the light throughout the panel and thus there is no need for LEDs to cover the entire panel. This leads to energy conservation. It also helps make the TV thinner which makes it look great when mounted on the walls.

The 120 Hz motion picture Pro 4 makes sure that there is no blurring or judder in the pictures. You can thus watch action sequences from the most adventurous movies or the sports action without any trailing of images. There is a very smooth transition between frames. The 24p Smooth film feature provides clear and film-like pictures which gives you the feeling of watching movies on a Blu-ray disc player. With the viewing angle of 178 degrees, you can view this smooth picture quality from any place in the room. There will be no washing out of colors at the edges.

With an unbelievable contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1, you can expect splendid blacks and the purest of whites. This of course makes the pictures look crisp and natural. The Intelligent Scene Controller further adds to the clarity of the images. Panasonic has included the Viera Image Viewer and Viera Link in this model. The Image Viewer lets you see the photos from your digital camera on the TV. With the Viera Link feature, you can control all the devices connected to the TV with the help of one remote. The remote itself is quite handy with the buttons on it helping in easy navigation. Although you won’t find anything outstanding in this model, still it has all the basic features and the Panasonic name to give you value for your money.
