Home > Consumer Reviews > Panasonic TH-37PX8BA 37" Widescreen Plasma TV - HD Ready with Freeview

I bought this plasma last week (08/01/09) it was delivered before 1pm the day after which was super quick. It arrived unmarked and the box and it's contents were all in perfect condition.

Now to the TV. This page advertising or "selling" this TV do not do it justice what so ever. It is a great TV, providing a fantastic quality picture. As for HD, it displays my Xbox 360 Elite at 720p amazingly. It is also so easy to set-up, only needing a couple of screws (provided in the box) to attach it to the stand and plug it in.

When i bought it i was worried that I would regret not buying a 40 or 42" but i am not disappointed what so ever. I am glad i bought this higher quality 37" within my budget than going for a cheaper 40/42".

You will not be disappointed, one happy Panasonic customer here.

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"....:)

This was a big deal for us, the most expensive tv we are ever likely to purchase. We did some research and opted for this model. It is quite simply superb and the amazon service excellent.

Bought from Amazon, delivered when they said it would be, does exactly what all the reviews say about it!

Top end product and service, this television is'nt just good, it is the best I have ever seen bar none. Havn't got HD yet and I'm now not really sure if I need it. Seen my son's PS3 working on it and you could jump into the screen, resolution and colour rendering are so good.

Please do not spend anymore than this on a plasma, you don't need to!

Researched the product and luckily was in the process of purchasing as the sale started! Great picture without the glare of LCD television. Family love the quality and sharpness especially with DVDs. Well done to Amazon- great product and service once again.
