The triple whammy
You want a TV that gives you a great picture. But you don't want to spend a fortune. You also want your TV to support all your media sources. Fortunately for you, Panasonic has a TV that fits all three of those needs. The TC-L37E3 is a 37" edge-lit LED LCD panel with In Plane Switching. This provides you with a vivid picture and incredible contrast from virtually any angle. In addition to improving the picture, LED lighting ensures that this television is incredibly energy-efficient, so you save big on your power bills every month. A great picture is nothing without content, though. The TCL37E3 is equipped with 4 HDMI ports, 2 USB ports, and an SD slot, so you can play all of your standard sources like Blu-ray discs, video games (there's even a special Game mode to give you an edge), and cable as well as letting you enjoy your own media files stored on a flash drive or SD card. But it gets even better. The built-in LAN port or an optional Wi-Fi adapter give you access to Easy IPTV and all the top streaming providers that come with it, like Netflix, Pandora, Facebook, CinemaNow, Napster, and Amazon VOD (although subscriptions or purchases may be required for some services). Additionally, this Panasonic LED TV is DLNA certified, so it can access content from other DLNA-compliant devices on your home network, including many PCs. This TV is a great way to enjoy all your media in one convenient place. And best of all, this 37" beauty is yours for well under a grand.

I needed an LCD television that would fit into my Armoire with a 37 opening. I was drawn to the Panasonic TC-L37E3 initially because of its high rating at Consumer Reports. Looked at a lot LCD TVs and read many, many reviews before deciding to go with the TC-L37E3. The initial setup was easy. Was watching television within ten minutes after plugging it in. High definition picture is very good . Blu-ray picture quality is excellent. The viewing angle is wider than any LCD Ive seen thanks to the IPS Alpha LED Panel. The picture looks great from anywhere in the room. Picture settings will have to be adjusted away from the factory settings but this is typical of most LCD TVs Ive seen. Sound isnt outstanding, but better than most LCDs Ive heard. There are several audio settings to suit your needs. Has a decent amount of inputs. Has digital audio output only. Will need a digital to analog audio converter if you intend to output sound through an old school receiver that has only RCA inputs. Though the specs say the television is Wi-Fi ready you will need to buy a Panasonic DY-WL10 Wireless LAN Adapter to be able to connect to your wireless network. Just plug it into a USB input. The tv will recognize it and lead you through the setup. I was streaming Netflix in fifteen minutes. Wish you didnt have to buy additional wireless LAN Adapter and analog audio converter but all in all it meets or exceeds my expectations and Im happy with my choice. I highly recommend the TC-L37E3.

Excellent picture. Good viewing angle. Agree with previous reviewer who stated that the wireless, Internet ready feature should be clearly labeled as requiring an accessory device sold separately.
