Reviews of the Panasonic Viera TC-37LZ85

CNET Review
The Good: Reproduced relatively deep black levels; solid screen uniformity and off-angle viewing; good shadow detail; connectivity includes three HDMI, two component video, and one SD card slot.
The Bad: Inaccurate grayscale leads to reddish tinge; can't adjust color temperature; lacks an analog PC input.
The Bottom Line: Despite being saddled with inaccurate color, the Panasonic TC-37LZ85 remains an otherwise decent entry in the smaller-screen 1080p LCD race.
