37" LCD's

If you think you need a 37, buy a 42 :)

Almost everyone wishes they bought the next size up after a short period of time :p

£522 was with a 5 year warranty.

Can the 42 be had for under £600 then?

From the same supplier as I checked on the 37" the 42" is £615.90 with 5yr warranty.

£559.95 with manufacturers warranty.
 
Failure rate is pretty low, I rarely encounter faulty Panasonic TV's.
Not saying they don't break as some do but personally I don't have mine insured.

Check your contents insurance on the house anyway, it may cover such things? (Or may not cover the TV at all including theft etc.)

One of the leading department stores offers 5yr warranty on all TV's and also offers price matching so I would be looking these guys up...

I have a Toshiba and on the whole I'm happy with it.
Some of you might be mixing up auto-backlight with auto-contrast.

auto-contrast adjusts the contrast depedent on the amount of light hitting the screen sensor. Lots of sun= more contrast.

This is usefull feature that I woud like to see on all tv's but it's nothing you couldn't do your self with the contrast button.

auto-backlight:
A night sequence in the movie/show will cause the backlight to dim, so the blacks look black rather than a washed out grey/black. Something light/bright will cause the backlight to get brighter.
Trouble is that it's all or nothing(not by pixel) and if the director switches back and forth between light/dark the backlight becomes very noticeable when swinging between the extremes.

This feature can die a slow painfull death, its rubbish.

Do I even need the warranty? How likely is it to break?

Well over the last 2 years we have around 250 Panasonic screens and I have only ever had one come back to me.

Wish I could say the same for Samsung, I dont even remember how many we have had come back but its quite a few.

EDIT: sorry I just found out its the HITACHI UT37MH70 that my GF bought, its VERY thin.

37LG3000 for £399

Once the correct settings are put into it its a Brilliant tv for the money.

What are the correct settings? I have been messing with the settings on mine for ages!

To the OP. My 47" LH3000 was £630 from a big highstreet retailer. The 37" must be out there for £400 or under. A lot of screen for the budget.
 
i'm pretty chuffed with my sammy 50" plasma, but its saving grace was it was cheap - a panasonic would have been better, but 1080p 50" Panasonic plasmas were twice as much.

Give up on LCDs, for freeview they're just not as good. And dont get a 37, stretch to a 42

They are, just like a Ford Ka is a good car for a bird ;)

I'd be inclined to go for a Panasonic over a Samsung and I have a Samsung 40" in my bedroom which I used to like and think was a good TV. Then I got my Pioneer.

As you say a lot of time in motor's thread, it's all about what you are used to
 
I have had my 42x10 for about a month now and my usage is similar to what you described. Mainly watching freeview which looks great. Blu ray films look fantastic also.
 
Well got my 37X10 & really impressed with it!
@Fox samsungs are good but more towards the top end of the range from my understanding, in a lot of the lower range lcd's , the panels vary depending on whats available at the time.
