Panasonic VIERA TC-L37DT30 37-Inch 1080p 3D LED HDTV Review
Here's an update to to my initial review below: I've now had it a week and still REALLY like it a lot.. Makes watching TV so much better.. but the main things i figured out and an very impressed with are: the DLNA and Apple AirPlay.. DLNA simply took enabling streaming the DLNA D30 net under Win Media Player .. but the GUI on the TV is what amazed me most. It's very fast to find and fill the directory and even tho i have tens of thousands of folders back to 1980, it sorts them all by date, name and preference (favorites) and builds a directory VERY fast on screen with good playback control to pause, fast forward etc during playback of content from your PC's hard drive (only thing I really miss is the means to rotate the video 180 degrees on playback).. It plays all the formats (unlike if playing from USB) including .mp4, .avi. .wmf and AVHCD camcorder all seem to play and handle the audio fine.. The other exceptionally cool thing that worked just fine with the iPhones and iPad was the Remote app ( that lets you navigate the TV options vis any iPhone /iPad.. and AirPlay.. is really great option if you have HBO GO or any number of videos and pictures on these devices ( or your friends ).. it plays any picture slideshows or video with AirPlay, along with the audio just fine up on this TV.. it's great.
Yes, it's so cool to be able to take a huge batch of pictures ( tho it does not do Movies) in the Viera Connect app, then post and sync them on Picasa with one click.. .. then play them as a slideshow on this TV in the living room with background music.. but now i can also do the same via AirPlay and pick my own Pandora channel audio too.
When i reviewed it last i had not set up the Logitec Harmony Remote .. and that works flawlessly too .. I have the Cox Cable Settop Box on HDMI 1, BlueRay on HDMI2, Apple TV on HDMI 3 and "all others" on a 5 way switch coming in HDMI 4.. that works great and a single button turns the TV, set top box, and AV switch ON or all three OFF.. and controls the volume displaying TVo'd content and channels etc.. from the Harmony remote. i have the older Logitec Harmony similar to the model 520 available now.
Could it do even MORE? .. yes I'd like a web browser, and a few other things but this TV is a huge step forward for me.. and am very pleased.
