Along with integrated 'Freesat', the Panasonic TX-37LZD81 also comes equipped with digital Freeview and analogue terrestrial tuners.
The recently launched Freesat service currently offers around 80 subscription free channels which includes all the major terrestrial stations (BBC1, ITV etc) apart from 'Five'. You also get the BBC HD and new ITV HD (exclusive to Freesat) channels. It is worth remembering that access to the 'Freesat' service requires a satellite dish.
The TX-37LZD81 sports the latest incarnation of Panasonic's picture processing engine 'V-real 3 Pro' which detects on-screen motion and activates backlight blinking to maintain resolution in those areas. Of course there is much more to V-real 3 Pro - Panasonic have apparently re-engineered almost every element of their picture processing engine in its latest guise.
The TX-37LZD81 demonstrates perhaps that a TV's basic picture processing circuitry, in this case represented by the 'V-Real 3 Pro' engine, is the main determinant of overall picture quality. Without any form of 100Hz processing this panel handles fast on-screen action with a smoothness and fluidity that few can match. It takes very fast on-screen action to create even minimal amounts of distortion.
