Sitting alone as a single model in the G15 LCD range Panasonic's TX-L37G15 adds some of the more interesting internet connectivity options over its G10 siblings.
Viera Cast arrives as Panasonic's solution to internet access directly through your TV. The Viera Cast button on the TX-L37G15's remote takes you straight to Panasonic's online content portal where you can choose from a limited but growing amount of content.
The G15 series also benefits from the inclusion of a built-in 'Freesat' tuner. The Freesat service currently offers over 80 subscription free channels which includes all the major terrestrial stations (BBC1, ITV etc) apart from 'Five'. You also get the BBC HD and ITV HD (exclusive to Freesat) channels. Unlike Sky or Virgin, there are no subscription charges, but it is worth remembering that access to the 'Freesat' service requires a satellite dish.
Panasonic do High Definition as well as any other manufacturer and this is the area in which the TX-L37G15 really shines. BBC or ITV HD channels on Freesat are presented with a sharpness and clarity that very few flat panel TV's can match. In fact you may find yourself watching these two HD channels whatever the TV schedule, just to experience the depth and realism the 10-bit panel can reproduce. If you can feed the screen some 1080p Blu-ray material, the results are simply stunning. The overall effect is a true home cinematic experience which at times almost compels you to reach out and touch the screen.
