Panasonic VIERA E5 37" | Rated 80% by by GGobblin--GGobblin (Apr, 2012)Have seen some silly complaints about short power cord, and have seen some about the wifi adapter(I'm using ethernet cable).
Panasonic VIERA E5 37" | Rated 100% by by Vin (Dec, 2012)We have it hooked up to the Internet via an Ethernet cable (NOT wifi), and the interface and performance of all three services are faster than any other streaming devices we've tried (and that includes our Roku and our Panasonic wifi-enabled Blu-Ray player, even when hooked up via Ethernet).
