It is true that you can view the tv from an angle but it is not necessarily all that clear and I have found in passing that sometimes the image can look slightly disorted BUT in saying that I can still watch it relatively well and follow whatever is going on - unless I absolutely don't want to in the case of Cbeebies for my son - but that is whole different story and not relevant to the topic.

Full HD LCD TV with Superb Image Quality, Wide Viewing Angle and Advanced Networking Capabilities

The wide 178° viewing angle* ensures clear images even when viewed from an angle. The backlight's wide transmission aperture enhances the contrast between light and dark, and improves motion-image response.
*Measured at an angle where the contrast ratio is 10:1 or higher

It is true that you can view the tv from an angle but it is not necessarily all that clear and I have found in passing that sometimes the image can look slightly disorted BUT in saying that I can still watch it relatively well and follow whatever is going on - unless I absolutely don't want to in the case of Cbeebies for my son - but that is whole different story and not relevant to the topic.

VIERA Link allows interconnected operation of various AV devices using only the VIERA remote control, by simply connecting the devices to each other by an HDMI cable. VIERA Link performance has been further enhanced with LUMIX digital camera connection

Now this is a great feature, you can connect upto seven devices, and all you have to do is press the 'AV' button, then the downwards arrow, and then the 'ok' in the middle of said arrows and viola! You have whatever it is up on the screen.

The disadvantage to using the remote as a guide is , you have to point it at a specific spot.

The advantage is if the remote isn't working for whatever reason you can still watch the TV or play games on the TV using the nifty panel located literally on the top of the TV and away from sticky little fingers.

As far as the LUMIX connection goes - that is something we haven't used as we don't have the said camera. And I think the majority of people who buy it probably won't have that camera, only if you are extremely wealthy seeing as we bought this TV for about £800. Cheap by most people's standards especially for a 37" but we could only afford it due to getting quite abit of money all at once.

V-Audio Surround gives depth-sound-image effect by early-reflection data based on actual room measurement, that is generated from digital signal processor.

The sound on this TV is exceptional, however if you are watching anything that has different volumes of sound all the time like quiet talking and loud action - it turns into a bloody nightmare as you are constantly having to turn the sound up and down. And when you live in a house with thin walls, I'm surprised we haven't had complaints from our neighbours yet!

So how accurate is this information that they give in order to sell the product?

Well if it was false advertising they would surely get in alot of trouble for it.

Since getting this TV almost 2 years ago now, we have had zero problems with it, and another great advantage is:

You can hook the computer upto the TV - which is great if your playing a game with in depth graphics and detail.

All in all, I'm glad my partner persuaded me to buy this TV as it is much better than previous TVs we have had and for the most part, the images on this TV are pristine and clear cut. It is well worth the money.

Hope this has helped.
