The Panasonic TX – P50VT20E 3D plasma tv is the first hd tv VIERA NeoPDP line with support for 3D. We have already P50VT20 into force seen at shows and demonstrations but now we have this device , therefore, from a review topics.
For a long list of features to prevent we refer to our earlier article on this device , P50VT20Where you can read extended specifications . Besides the TX – P50VT20 in the VT20 series also available to Panasonic TX – P65VT20 with a 65 inch screen .
Installation
The good-sized device that is P50VT20E therefore comes in a pretty big box . Unpack and assemble , given the weight and size of the 3D TV for a job with a minimum of two persons to carry out .
The TV makes an impression with the classic dark bronze cabinet and sober design of TV and included stand . The TV makes Panasonic two 3D glasses with and in addition there are still things in the box and manuals , remote control with batteries , a screwdriver to replace the battery in the 3D glasses , a wireless LAN adapter with extension cable , cable clamp , power cord , two ferrite cores and the base with screws for mounting .
We have chosen to test the TV with the built-in hd tuner DVB -C with signal Ziggo . The P50VT20 is certified for use in CI Ziggo and we both like Neotion SMIT CI modules tested without any problem we encountered .
Besides using the built-in DVB -C tuner we’ve seen the TX – P50VT20E in combination with Panasonic DMP – BDT300EG 3D Blu – ray players and Playstation 3 games for 3D viewing . For connection to the Internet , we opted for the wired Ethernet connection.
After setting all language Dutch and the Netherlands as a country , followed by the choice of DVB -C reception with regional institutions Ziggo were smooth all stations in our area Ziggo found. The connected Blu -ray player and PS3 were immediately recognized by the TV and could then also be operated with the remote .
Picture quality and sound
The Panasonic TX – P50VT20E shows the default settings already a pretty picture but we prefer the THX setting with some minor corrections for the most natural sound. The TV offers plenty of settings for the enthusiast .
The image quality of this TV is truly excellent with nice saturated colors as deep blacks while maintaining detail in shadow and even in 2D mode, a nice plastic display . The reproduction of skin tones , still a bit more difficult aspect of some lcd TVs , this screen was perfectly fine . Especially with HD material , this beautiful TV very good to his right . In addition, the viewing angle is very significant given that this is a plasma screen .
The sound from the internal speakers is very good but the real enthusiast , such a TV usually still connect to external equipment and speakers .
On 3D movie playback from the Blu – ray BDT300EG 3D player very little to criticize . The TV offers a great depth with deep colors and smooth images . However it is important that when viewing 3D material to ensure a proper dark environment . There are two main reasons. First, make sure that such an environment less our brains have to switch between the 3D real world and simulated stereoscopic 3D image on the TV. This prevents a number of possible adverse effects such as fatigue 3D look . The second reason lies in the fact that the 3D glasses in daylight a flickering effect around the TV show . That may affect the natural look .
When watching a previously recorded broadcast 3D TV that was still a slight crosstalk occurs at very bright objects against a dark background extra . The crosstalk was less visible than previously tested in a 3D lcd monitor. For standard images , we have not really crosstalk as disturbing.
On the Playstation 3 have been a number of 3D games available and they looked at the TX – P50VT20E anyway very nice. Plasma screen gave his speed and beautiful colors a beautiful 3D effect with beautiful saturated colors.
What image of this summit is not only a 2D display device but also a very good 3D TV .
Panasonic TX-P50VT20 afstandbediening The remote
Panasonic remote to this TV is at first sight a simple , simple idea . The plastic remote is however logically and the numbers and functions are clearly displayed .
The cursor or arrow keys are easily found on the aluminum circle and have a clear then that the ease of use increases .
cursor around the area are in a semicircle large buttons for ” Viera Link ” , ” Viera Tools “and” Guide “( Electronic Program Guide) .
There are buttons available to the built-in recorder , combined with your own hard disk or USB stick in a simple way to operate.
All in all a nice remote that good in the hand but use lying on a flat surface , he has a tendency to tilt the wedge bottom.
Panasonic EPGMenus and extra features
The menus of the Panasonic look easy (gray and blue) , but is clear with regard to composition and structure .
The Viera Tools menu section is nicely implemented as a bar at the bottom of the screen with pretty icons . In this section we find Viera tools include functions such as Viera Link Control , Photo, Video, Music , 3D, Viera Cast and Media Server. These graphically sophisticated menus react quickly to the remote .
Photos, movies and music can be viewed from an SDHC memory card is inserted into the TV via DLNA or from a pc anywhere in the home network . From the SD card were pictures , video and music display fine . In a picture display can be built or own music in the background are displayed. As with all TV programs is still limited number of supported codecs . So pay attention . While the linkage with other DLNA devices have already been slow to take place was that function on the TX – P50VT20E quickly .
The Viera Cast part with components such as Youtube , Picasa , Weather and weather forecast , Bloomberg , Eurosport Tagesschau and Dutch still contains very little content. This is clearly something that still needs to be addressed to realize the full potential of this function better. There is a Skype application available beta that we have not further tested.
The Electronic Program Guide is simple but clear where we found it unfortunate that in consulting the directory sound and image of the active channel is not displayed .
Manual
In P50VT20E is a pile of manuals in several languages including Dutch . The Dutch paper version is 28 pages thick and contains the essential elements while providing a more detailed version is included on a CD – ROM .
Summary and conclusion
The Panasonic TX – P50VT20E is not only an excellent high-end HDTV , but also provides the best 3D TV images we have seen so far . Viewing angle , color saturation , black levels and detail in dark areas is excellent in terms of image and we have therefore no comment.
Plasma is also apparent in this review is still a very good quality.
The Viera Cast of the TV is still a point which Panasonic should pay more attention in terms of contents for the Dutch market .
Although this is a TV in the more expensive Panasonic model offers a good price performance , partly due to the decision to two 3D glasses and a wireless dongle and a standard with delivering HD recorder function ( to your own hard disk or USB stick ) to build .
