just got the 37LX800 from iamsobloodysick aka joseph. pricing is the best that I can find for cash and collect. delivery to ampang would be another 70-80rm. very patient service at his shop in kajang. was able to compare the different display models using hdmi and antenna source. when comparing, i make sure the panasonic tvs are set to the same mode and settings such as "dynamic" mode or "standard" mode. was able to test my purchased unit at the shop for defects such as dead pixels and backlight bleeding from corners which luckily don't have. the purchase came with free panasonic S-video cable, HDMI cable and a bag for the car boot.

as for the tv, am loving every bit of it although it's still a lcd tv afterall and the black is not as black as plasma tv. in the dark, can still see that black area is a little bit glowing. this 37lx800 is definitely better than the 37lx80 for the extra rm. the sharpness is better due to i think the sub-pixel control feature. the 100 hz helps to reduce flicker. i watch mainly TV antenna and DVD sources. when watching TV antenna source (not astro), sometimes can see a bit of noise due to the up-scaling processing. not sure if other brand/model lcd tv can do better. i also connect to my laptop to watch downloaded movies and streaming video. gotta adjust the settings for PC source and it works beautifully.

in tuning the picture, i do not like choosing the "dynamic" mode which suppose to provide 10000:1 contrast ratio and activate the intelligent scene controller(ISC). sometimes the "dynamic" mode "blacks out" the dark details compared to "standard" mode or "eco" mode. "dynamic" mode however works better when watching in daytime due to the higher contrast. i like to use "eco" mode which detects the ambient light and adjusts accordingly. This is also known as the "contrast automatic tracking system (CATS)" feature and helps to avoid having to adjust the settings during different times of the day. I think this is an important feature difference when choosing between buying the PV8 and PV80 plasma tv. Rest of the sharpness, tint, etc settings, i don't really touch cos no end to it one and i find the default setting works ok so far.

In sum, joseph is a highly recommended seller and the 37lx800 is a highly recommended LCD TV for 37" size TV!! if want 42", pls go for plasma tv!!
