I can understand why Panasonic has decided to come to market with a 37in Full HD LCD TV, but unfortunately the TX-37LZD70 lacks some of the key features sported by its competitors. The lack of 1080p 24Hz may have been acceptable six months ago, but these days, with plenty of HD players offering pure 24fps output, this Panasonic looks to be behind the times. Add to this Panasonic's continued insistence to not let its TVs accept a 1080p signal through component video, and it's hard to recommend the TX-37LZD70.
The above issues are a real shame, because the pictures produced by the TX-37LZD70 are generally very good, whether viewing HD or SD content, and the sound is above average for a flat screen TV. Ultimately though, if you have between £800 and £900 to spend on a Full HD TV, my suggestion would be to go for the Toshiba 42X3030D instead.Read full review
