Panasonic TX-L37DT30B 3D LED LCD TV Review

Seeing as Panasonic has been so vocal about the superiority of Plasma when it comes to stereoscopic 3D TV, it was a little surprising to see them announce that it was venturing into 3D LCD territory as early as February this year. The top-end result of this new appreciation for liquid crystal is the Panasonic TX-L37DT30B, which features HD terrestrial and satellite tuners, a decent amount of picture calibration controls, and both frame interpolation and backlight scanning technologies on board to improve motion resolution – which has long been a sore point for LCD television technology.

In fact, the Japanese manufacturer claims to have reduced the LCD panel response time to a level that allows for high quality 3D images, so much so that the traditional LCD response time limitations have “been almost completely resolved”. Strong words for sure, so let’s see how this DT30 37″ edge-LED LCD TV fares on the HDTVTest bench.

Note: The specific model we reviewed was the Panasonic TX-L37DT30B, which is the 3-pin-plug British version, although the same model may be sold in shops as TX-L37DT30 or TXL37DT30. Throughout this article, these model numbers may be used interchangeably to refer to the same tri-dimensional LED TV. While we did not test the smaller, 32-inch TX-L32DT30B/ TX-L32DT30, there shouldn’t be any drastic deviation in picture performance given similar specifications bar screen size.
