Two new LCDs from Panasonic in our labs

Now with a range of LCD TVs that's as complete as its collection of plasma screens, Panasonic has two new Full HD 1080p screens for us to test, the Viera TX-37LZD80F and the smaller TX-32LZD80F.

Identical in all regards, apart from their size, these LCD screens feature matt panels, which will really help people whose TVs are in a brightly-lit room, or have a window at right angles to their screen.  And to make the most of the viewing angle, both screens sit on a rotating base.

Be careful, though: neither screen will make the most of the excellent resolution, as the built-in digital tuners are not compatible with the HD pictures already being broadcast in several countries and forecast to arrive soon in many more.

Perhaps the only noteworthy difference brought about by the change in size is that the smaller screen actually has a slightly higher resolution, and its form factor makes it well-suited to acting as a computer monitor as well as a TV screen.
