Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Full-HD IPS LCD with with Freeview HD built-in, 100Hz Intelligent Frame Creation Pro, VIERA Image Viewer and Game Mode
The S20 Series includes a DVB-T2 tuner for Freeview HD providing you with a convenient, subscription free way* of watching HD contents like sport, as well as your favourite soaps, dramas and documentaries in full HD glory wherever you are in the UK*.
Even fast-moving scenes are displayed sharply and clearly. With a 50Hz video signal input, 100Hz Intelligent Frame Creation Pro makes 100 frames/second from 50 frames/second. This increases the frame count to allow natural frame-to-frame transitions, for smooth motion images with high resolution. VIERA also uses motion focus technology to greatly enhance resolution.
The wide 178°* viewing angle ensures clear images even when viewed from an angle. The backlight's wide transmission aperture enhances the contrast between light and dark, and improves motion-image response. *Measured at an angle where the contrast ratio is 10:1 or higher.
It's easy to view full-HD images with the SD card slot. Watch and show your photos and motion images right after you take them. Simply insert an SD Memory Card into VIERA to display photos and full-HD videos on the large screen. An easy-to-see, easy-to-use thumbnail display has also been added. You can also enjoy special background music, slideshow frames and transition effects.
VIERA Link allows the interlinked operation of various AV devices using only the VIERA remote control, by simply connecting the devices to each other by an HDMI cable.
In Game Mode, quicker image response increases the enjoyment of video games when a game console is connected to the TV. What's more, VIERA produces the dark images in video games more clearly. This mode works with the anti-image retention (wobbling) function, too.
*Please ensure that Freeview HD coverage is available in your local area before using this TV.

Our old Sony CRT finally gave up after 11 years so needed a replacement. After extensive research (including reference to the Which reports), I decided on a Panasonic over a Sony and in the end went for this model via Amazon Warehouse (prompt service - thanks). Have to say that this TV is great quality and exceeds our expectations. Very easy to set up (took ten minutes), picture quality on both SD and HD is excellent - colours are well defined and picture is sharp; sound quality appears better than previous models. All in all I would recommend this with only one proviso and that is to shop around as it is pricey at the moment but there are bargains to be had!

For the first HDTV in the house we finally decided against the newer LED tech, as the LED sets we viewed had slightly inferior picture quality and noticeably inferior sound to the Panasonic LCD sets whilst being £[] more expensive.
We thought the picture quality on this set to be the best of the 37" LCDs available.
No disappointment in service: it's easy to set up in 10 minutes, has all possible connections for HDMI/SCART/RF cables (take your pick) straight into the back and the picture and sound quality are both superb. The HD picture quality in particular is first class.
If you're thinking of buying into LED, you'll get the advantages of a lighter-weight set easier to mount on a wall, and the questionable benefit of slightly lower electricity consumption - but one washing machine cycle uses more power than a month's TV viewing anyway, so don't fret about that too much. The considerations (at the time of writing, June 2010) are the considerably higher price tag with LED, the inferior sound from tinny little speakers due to space restriction, and the fact you may need adaptors to plug any cables in the back as the sets are so thin that normal SCART sockets etc. can not be directly accommodated. None of these drawbacks apply to LCD sets.
The only downside of this LCD Panasonic set might be that it is a bit pricey compared to some other LCD or plasma sets, but the price will come down this summer in my view it's worth a bit extra as the whole package is so good - and it's still £[] less expensive than the equivalent LED which, in my view, ain't as good.

I reviewed the product initially via Which. It was rated top, a rating I can fully endorse. The 100hz makes a difference over similar products at 50hz.
