It's also not 720p.
It's 1024*720. 720p is 1280*720. It'll downscale proper 720p content. I'd expect better for £700 to be honest. |

Even if that's true, are you really going to notice this? From the reviews, clearly not:

AVreview.co.uk: 9 out of 10 (Group Test Winner)
| Quote: | | "... with a perfectly respectable audio performance to round things out, the 37PX70 certainly sets a high benchmark for the rest of our LCD contenders to overcome." |
Trusted Reviews: 9/10
| Quote: | | Panasonic has created a great TV in the shape of the TH-37PX70. It may not have Full HD credentials, but the price / performance ratio is staggeringly good. If you’re looking to buy your first HDTV and don’t want anything too big, this Viera will provide you with excellent picture quality at a very attractive price. |

I know what my verdict is...

I'm sure it's a good telly, but it's not 720p, that's all I was saying. It's got 20% less pixels than a proper 720p set. That's a significant amount.
For £700 you could get a proper 720p set that won't downsize/squash/add borders to your skyHD/Console/PC. |

it's a plasma
they don't have square pixels so it's not the same issues as with an LCD
many 720p plasmas are 1024x1024 res. |

Ok, so it won't add border or display in the wrong aspect ratio, but it will downsize.
And no 720p plasmas are 1024*1024 since it's impossible to display 720p unless you've got a resolution of 1280*720 as a minimum.
Any manufacturer claiming their set is 720p without having the necessary resolution is plain lying. |

no they are not
not if the pixels are rectangular and it doesn't do 1:1 mapping, as most plasmas.
as long as the vertical height is > 720p it will be able to display 720p correctly with 1024 plasma pixels wide. |
