Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
With its 2008 Panasonic Viera Plasmas, Panasonic brings an astonishing 1,000,000:1 contrast ration to the table. advanced pixel resolution and image-processing technology with the plasma TV's natural ability to beautifully reproduce fast moving images, so every detail is rendered with amazing clarity, and all the action is delivered with a high degree of fluidity.

What is a Plasma TV? A plasma TV is a thin, high-resolution flat panel screen that uses a matrix of tiny cells that are charged by precise electrical voltages to create a picture. Plasma displays are bright, have a wide colour range, produce deep, true blacks, have a wide viewing angle, and are light enough to be wall-mounted or placed on a stand. Plasmas come in a range of sizes.

What's New This Year?

  • Super Contrast--native contrast ratios on the PZ85, PZ800 series are 30,000:1, double last year's 15,000:1. Dynamic contrast ratios are up to 1,000,000:1.
  • new anti-reflective filter; lead-free "Tough Under Force" panel is resistant to impacts and scratches
  • Built-in SD card slot with Photo Viewer/Gallery Player software
  • x.v. colour and Deep colour (HDMI 1.3 features)
  • 24p native reproduction
  • Game Mode auto-adjusts image quality suitable to games and includes anti-image retention
  • Viera Link is now compatible with Onkyo and Yamaha home theater systems
  • At least 2 HDMI inputs on all models (4 on PZ800 series)
  • THX Certification on PZ800 and PZ850 series


Amazing colour reproduction

The incredible black reproduction of a Panasonic High-Definition Plasma TV results in impressive contrast and beautiful, natural colours. So you'll get warm, accurate skin tones, gorgeous greens, breathtaking blues and vivid reds. For colour that's as rich and bold as life itself, look to a Panasonic Plasma TV.

Consistent brightness from any angle

A Panasonic Plasma combines anti-glare and anti-reflection technology with the natural light-emitting properties of plasma, to give you a super-wide viewing range with a crisp, beautiful image from almost any angle.

Smooth, graceful motion

When you're watching sports or movies with fast-motion graphics, you want a TV that can keep up with the action. With over 900 lines of moving picture, self-illuminating plasma displays eliminate afterimages in fast-action scenes. So whether you're watching a sporting event or an action-packed movie, you'll always get the most impressive viewing experience possible.

1,000,000:1 Contrast

The Panasonic's Real Black system (a pre-discharge suppression system) and improved panel production processes combine to reproduce outstanding blacks with superb contrast. Each image is richly expressive, from bright scense, like scorching desert landscapes, to dark cave scenes. Compare the image produced by conventional HDTV on the left to the Real Black image produced on the right

Panasoninc 2008 TVs Colour Space

More colours

Viera HDTVs support the xvYCC colour profile (Extended YCC colourimetry for Video Applications), or "x.v. colour" for short. Standard RGB colour space allows the display of a portion of the colours that are viewable to the human eye. The next generation "xvYCC" colour space actually offers  an available range of colours that exceeds what human eyes can recognize.
  • Next-generation "xvYCC" colour space supports 1.8 times as many colours as existing HDTV signals
  • Lets HDTVs display colours more accurately
  • Enables displays with more natural and vivid colours

deep colour eliminates visible colour banding

Deep colour

Where x.v. colour expands the available range of colours your HDTV can display, Deep colour increases the number of colours your HDTV can display within that range, for smoother transitions from colour to colour.
  • Lets HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colours to billions of colours
  • Eliminates on-screen colour banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colours
  • Enables increased contrast ratio
  • Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white.

Connectivity

Viera flat panel HDTVs interact with an array of high-definition devices and services, making it easy for consumers to access and enjoy content as never before. As of 2008, Viera Link is compatible with Onkyo and Yamaha home theater systems.
SD Cards Videos and stills recorded on SD cards can easily be viewed via the SD slots on Panasonic Blu-Ray Disc players and Viera HDTVs.
Viera Link Viera Link means easy connectivity via HDMI cables. Finally, consumers can easily operate their Blu-Ray Disc players, DVD recorders and home theater systems with a single remote control device.
network with PCs
Equipped with an RGB input terminal, VIERA can connect with your PC and serve as a large-screen monitor.

long life

Long Life

Panasonic plasma panels are rated to last 100,000 hours, which is about 30 years of regular or 11 years of non-stop usage before the brightness of the display is halved.

Blu-Ray disc player

Get Full HD with Blu-Ray Disc Players

A Panasonic 1080p plasma television is able to render 1920x1080 pixels, but standard DVDs have a resolution of just 720x480. Blu-ray discs output true 1080p High-Definition resolution and have a storage capacity ten times greater than standard DVDs, so no pixel gos to waste.

5.0 out of 5 stars TH37PX80, 30 Mar 2008
Brought this TV after reading loads of reviews and visiting comets, currys etc. this TV won WHAT HIFI SOUND AND VISION MAGAZINE for best 37 inch TV. although not a full HD resolution, the processor on this TV deals with everthing you can throw at it , from DVD's to full HD DVD's, the picture is superb, far better than some of my frieds Full HD TV's. Freeview Picture, so often the bugbear for full HD tv's, shows no sign of smearing at all. all too often common on the full HD tv's. One thing i cant fathom out is that the TH37PX70 is more expensive than the newer TH37PX80 which is far superior in every way. when it first came out it was more expensive because it was the newer model but now on some sites it is cheaper than the previous model. DO NOT BUY THE PX70, it is an inferior model!! the TH37PX80 has a newer processor, 3 HDMI's, better speakers and is better looking. if you dont believe me, check out the Panasonic website. Save yourself hassle and Buy Plasma!! At this price it is a steal. see also the latest review in WHAT PLASMA magazine, this TV was given 5 gold stars
UPDATE 13.dec 2008
this set has just won the WHAT HI-FI 37 inch supertest for the SECOND YEAR running. cant get much more of a recommendation than that!!
Update 02.april.2009
After a year of owning this TV, i can only say what an excellent buy this was. It never ceases to amaze me with its vibrant colours and non smearing pictures and a year in i have had absolutely mo problem with it at all
i would like other people who have had this TV for a while to give me their views on what they have found, be it good or bad, so that people looking at this TV can have a good insight as to what to expect long term.
thanks..Square Eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glorious picture quality!, 10 Jun 2008
By Abbi Jackson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This television has an absolutely stunning picture! Although the screen isn't 1080p you'll think it is. Remember: if you're sitting more than 5 or 6 feet away it's not going to matter anyway. The colour is super and the sound although not Bose quality is perfectly acceptable. The quality of standard definition is much much better than a lot of TVs I've looked at over the last few weeks and bear in mind that it's going to be quite a while before 1080p is broadcast. Have no fear in purchasing this tv if you're like me and you change your tv every fews years or so anyway. This TV is an absolute steal!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bargain Plasma, 4 Jun 2008
It has taken me ages to choose a tv I started out at 32" but was so struck by the value for money of the 37" Panasonic Plasma that I researched the tv a little more. When I first saw the 37" PX80B I thought it was a rather plain looking set when compared with some of the fancier LCD screens around but the picture was good and the price was at a bargain level(sub £600); so in the end Panasonic's reputation and a host of good reviews in the press finally persauded me to take the plunge and buy the TV. I am delighted I did, I am not a big TV buff but having got the TV home I can say that the apparent plain Jane appearance in the store has gone and the TV looks quietly understated and very smart. The setting up was easy and the picture is good particularly on the freeview channels. Even the sound seems pretty good to me, at least compared to the old CRT TV it has replaced. All in all I am very happy with my purchase and the TV has more than lived up to my expectation.
