Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-L37S1 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

This is my first LCD TV, and I absolutely love it! The picture is great, it has a wide viewing angle (meaning you can sit/stand off to the side and still see the picture clearly), and the menus are easy to navigate and pretty self-explanatory. Setup was not too bad - I managed to get it out of the box, assembled, and hooked up to the indoor antenna without help from anyone else, and hooking up my DVD player was easy too.

I highly recommend it!

There were some contradictions in the instructions on hooking up to cable box AND in the booklet on how to match the Cable Remote control to the TV.

I could not get it right, even after a little help from my friends and had to turn to COX cable to guide me thru it.

NOW its a great picture, altho the sound seems to have an echo effect on some movies.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Panasonic 37" picture quality and even happier that the available cable High Definition channels were found without the aid of a digital or HD cable box during the channel setup search. The ease of ordering and very rapid delivery have been additional incentives to this very positive buying experience.

If you want your TV to last 10 plus years without fail...go with Panasonic. It is worth a few extra dollars up front.

Good picture and adequate sound. Great for our office and second guest bedroom. There are three things to keep in mind. 1) If you move off center viewing axis much the picture drops off quite rapidly. 2) It is not a high quality sound system for which you can easily pay way more for then then cost of the TV. 3)Watching standard TV on a LCD HDTV will always be a grainy disappointment.

Now in our living room we have a 55" state of the art (for the moment) Samsung LED flat panel TV, with separate 5.1 surround sound system and HD signal from Verizon FIOS. Not even this high quality great HD viewing TV has great sound by its' self. The picture is not as grainy when watching standard TV, but still not great. The picture in HD is outstanding even way off axis and I paid four times as much for the TV and sound system as this Panasonic.

My wife, guests and myself are all very satisfied with this purchase. Are there better TVs...yes...and they cost a lot more.
