User Reviews about Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L37X1 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

I bought this for the bedroom and overall quite happy. The picture, setup, remote all are excellent and easy. My only knock is the sound volume and quality. To my ear, it needs a high volume to be heard and they you get some distortion. I played with bass level and found a setting I could live with. I also have a large bedroom so a smaller room may not even have this issue. Either way I would buy again. -- Great Picture-OK Sound

We are very happy with this TV. After returning a plasma 42" because of the glare and poor picture quality, we are thrilled with the size and picture quality of the Panasonic 37". Our viewing area is about 10' away and we don't feel the need for anything larger than this. Great purchase and great price!! -- Glare is gone!

This set was replacing a 4-year old Panasonic 37" that developed a problem with controlling some of the features with the remote control, like the volume for example. The picture and sound were still great, in fact better than the new one. The new set doesn't have as many ancillary equipment inputs and outputs as the set it replaced. For example, it doesn't have an analog audio output which I like to use with earphones occasionally. The promotional description says "Analog audio: yes". It must be referring to the fact that the internal speaker output is analog because I couldn't find one for my earphones. I don't think I would have bought it if I knew this. -- Bill's reaction

This is our second LCD in the house and was quite a bargain for $500 new. We use this one for the living room so it's in with our entertainment center. It was very easy to hook up but took me forever to realize that there was no way of programming the channels from DISH satellite using their instructions. Simply got out the DISH instructions and reprogrammed the DISH remote to use with this tv. BAM it did everything for me and worked in just a few seconds with full control. The sound is great for normal tv especially when you use the "surround" option. When viewing movie DVD's the sound can be so low that you have to turn it up to 100 to hear some dialog. So I decided to hook tv up to our old fashioned Stereo Amp and use those speakers. It's too bad one has to still use an amp to boost the signal (or powered speakers) and two wires are still required to the speakers as has been forever. The color coded hookups are easy to follow but nowhere do the directions tell you to use the Original Remote to change the INPUT source to see the video. So I had wonderful sound but no picture. That was maddening until I figured it out to use the TV original remote to pick inputs. Instructions must be written in Chinese and translated using a mirror? Useless waste of paper. NOW this TV is totally amazing. When my wife was gone I turned up the volume and one of her vases on the wall shelf fell off from the bass(when hooked to stereo):) My bad. Fortunately it wasn't an heirloom. Now that I understand the method to these new electronics it is quite easy to install any component even with older technology like S-Video cable, RCA plugs or Computer USB. This set has every conceivable connector. It will be years before I buy a Blu-ray DVD (if ever) and be able to use the HDMI inputs. When kids visit they can use the ipod/gamer stuff. Fortunately this equipment lasts for a decade or more. I just donated our last still working VCR to charity and I bought it in 1999 for $95. -- Great TV lousy written Instructions for Old School Person.
