I did a lot of research on numerous TV's and was not totally satisfied until I saw this Panasonic Viera S1. I was planning on buying a TV with 120 Hz but the S1 handled fast motion very well. To summarize, here are the pro's and con's.
Pro: Horizontal viewing angle Great standard def. compared to other LCD. Amazing high def. Blacks comprable to Samsung unless really off angle Clarity/sharpness Vivid colors Thin attractive bezel Built quality of TV and remote Motion Focus technology Price Cons: Blacks wash out if extremely off angle vertically (probably >150 degrees) No fine control of colors Largest size is 37 inches If you are in the market for a TV this size, buy this thing and you will not regret it.

It outperforms a lot of LCD's that...Read more 77 of 81 people found the following review helpful: By RV (USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-L37S1 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Electronics) Bought this TV based on my great experience with my Pany 58" plasma. Not many reviews on the S1 as of yet, however, older model Pany LCD's had good reviews. This was the 4th tv that I purchased for the family room, which included a Toshiba 40" lcd (not Regza), a Vizio 32 lcd and a Vizio 32 plasma. The first 3 were returned and this one is a keeper.
As expected, set up was a breeze and it mounted to my articulating wall mount without a hitch. Picture settings had to be tweaked to get the proper flesh tones, but in a few minutes it looked great. Of course, I like to tinker with all of the setting in order to get familiar with the tv. Overall, picture looks great. Sound on this tv is very good. Need to adjust the settings to increase treble and base, and also to turn on the surround. Definitely fills the room with full clear sound. The tv is in a bright room and there can be minor glare depending on the time of day and viewing angle. Putting the picture...Read more 33 of 35 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-L37S1 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Electronics) I spent a lot of time deliberating over whether to buy this TV. Since it costs $100-200 less than comparable TVs from Samsung, Sony, and Sharp, I thought there must be a catch. Eventually I decided to take the risk and purchased it, and I am very happy. The picture is outstanding - I have absolutely no complaints about this TV. It looks at least as good, if not better, than any other HDTV I've seen. I would recommend it to anyone. |
