Panasonic TX-37LZD80 more than a simple upgrade
:cool:
Panasonic have transformed the TX-37LZD70 with an injection of some of their latest cutting edge technology.
Panasonic's collective name for their image processing technology 'V-real' has evolved into the V-real 3 and V-real PRO 3. Panasonic say they have re-designed every V-real device.
There are two major constituents to the V-real 3 equation, V-real PRO 3 Processor and V-real PRO 3 Driver. The processor works on the raw video signal to optimize the incoming stream, while the Driver works with the refined signal and optimizes panel performance to this signal.
Elsewhere there are now 3 HDMI (v1.3) inputs (up from 2 on the LZD70), contrast ratio is up to a claimed 10,000:1 from 8,500:1 and there is also an SD card slot for viewing digital photos or video clips.
All this technology doesn't come cheap with the TX-37LZD80 currently retailing at a good £200 premium to the TX-37LZD70. We will be having a closer look at the 37LZD80 soon to determine whether the extra outlay is justified.
