    Today plasma TV comes to us from the people at Panasonic, which together a pretty impressive model with their Panasonic TC-P50U2. The TC-P50U2 Plasma HDTV has what is considered as old-tech inside, but can still hold his own against some 2010 spec TVs. What makes this TV special is the 600Hz Sub-field Drive, so if you’re in the sport, the 50-inch Viera TC-P50U2 the TV for you. Some of the specs are as follows: 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 6144 Shades of Gradation, JPEG compatibility, and much more.

    The Panasonic TC-P50U2 is a fifty-inch 1080p plasma television that a 600Hz Sub-field Drive System, Viera Link offers to let you control all your various devices from a remote, a game mode to reduce blur in high speed video situations (such as those often found in gaming), the VIERA Image Viewer system, two ten watt speakers with surround sound capabilities, three HDMI ports, two component inputs, two composite video inputs and one digital audio input.

    This is a surprisingly nice photos, sure, it is 1080p, but we have seen some 1080p images, which are exactly like they are eligible. This does. And the sound is very nice too, but again, not as good as anything. It has some additions to his ten-watt speakers, which never hurts. Plus, it actually play a little better with older hardware or newer, with a somewhat unusual relationship of HDMI to component / composite slots.

    And given that Amazon wants less than $ 999 for one of these, which is not half bad, really, you end up with a pretty solid value for a pretty decent price. The Panasonic TC-P50U2, but it will not be the best television you’ve seen lately, will still be a quality addition to your home theater system.

    The Panasonic Viera U2 series seem to share in the category of affordable 1080p plasma with the S2 series. These plasmas have a 1080p panel with 600Hz Sub-field Drive Panasonic and an antireflective filter using the TV in bright rooms. Viera Link is a single remote control using Viera Link products with all connected. 3 HDMI inputs, 2 USB ports, PC input and Viera Image Viewer round of the feature set of the TC-P50U2.

  • Panasonic TC-P50S1 Plasma HTDV Review

    Date: 2011.01.24 | Category: Panasonic | Response: 0

    Many consumers tend to opt for mid-level products, as they are a good quality product to enjoy, without breaking the bank for. Panasonic knows this oh-so-good, and their 50-inch plasma TV, Panasonic TC-P50S1 is proof. Without fully packed with features including THX certification, Viera Cast Add-ons, or 24p Cinema mode (found in the most expensive series such as G10 and V10), the S1 series boast exceptional black levels, color saturation and dependable.

    You’ll also find a good deal for this Panasonic plasma TV, because this is cheaper than the newer plasma TVs from the same manufacturer. With NeoPDP panel and 1080p resolution, the S1 is more than a step up from the entry-X1 series, placed closer to the top of the line plasma TVs, rather than a low-level products. All in all, Panasonic TC-P50S1 is a mid-level plasma in terms of price, but not exactly the run of the mill HDTV.

    Features

    When a new series is launched, the key questions hover around the new opportunities it presents the latest product released by the same company. We have seen where Panasonic TC-P50S1 stands of the newer series, such as G10 and V10, with focus on luxury goods. One thing that should be noted that the S1 series is the first series that Panasonic has implemented the new NeoPDP panel.

    As plasma TVs are known to consume more energy than LCDs, due to their demanding display, this is a battle in which the plasma manufacturers have all their weapons. Panasonic came out with a new panel, and while products are still major energy consumers, they are more efficient than other plasma TVs. The S1 plasma TVs have 1080p resolution, while the previous X1 series has only a 720p resolution. Shades of Gradation better contrast ration and come to complete the picture, rising over S1 X1 series.

    Design

    If Panasonic TC-P50S1 is more for the budget minded consumer, it is also less attractive than the more luxurious counterparts, in terms of design. It does not have a swivel base, but this does not mean that this plasma model will not complement the room where it will be installed. The company decided to keep the old design, but it made a concession, with more rounded corners, and opting for the hidden speakers, which is considered the newest craze in the flat screen TVs.

    Panasonic VIERA TC P50S1 Angle Panasonic TC P50S1 Plasma HTDV Review

    Panasonic TC-P50S1 still looks elegant enough with its glossy black frame, marked only by a small silver lining. Naturally, the company has too much in making the S1 series fan, but if you do not mind having a good quality plasma TV with last year shows, then this aspect should not be bothersome.

    Performance

    The strongest point of Panasonic TC-P50S1 its overall excellent image performance, especially given the incredibly deep levels of black, which can easily compete with the expensive series such as G10 and V10, but also those represented by the formerly known as the best Plasma TV ever made by Pioneer Kuro. It is true that this model does not come with THX certification, which means you are not the best colors enjoy a plasma TV, and it has no special skills to offer for viewing 24p video sources, but all in all, in his price category, offset by the good quality level, Panasonic TC-P50S1 rightly be considered the best choice when looking for a mid-level plasma TVs.

    Conclusion

    If we take into account the fact that the Panasonic TC-P50S1 is a mid-level product, the conclusion is a positive. It is not true, the fancy features found in the top of the line products such as Viera Cast Internet connection or THX certification, but the lack in this department will help a lot in keeping the price down. On a less expensive price than hanging on a higher level of plasma TVs you can enjoy 1080p resolution, great contrast, awesome black levels, good color saturation, all of which make for an overall great picture quality, in fact, what budget minded consumers would find in a middle class plasma TV.

  • LG 50PX950 Plasma 3D TV Review

    Date: 2010.12.28 | Category: LG | Response: 0

    LG is an ambitious brand. After the number one in the U.S. for mobile phones the company is focusing its attention on television: It wants the number one there too. And it hopes to achieve this by offering as the PX950 plasma TVs and the upcoming LEX8 LCD.

    Design

    LG has a few different design features in the last few years, with the most obvious is limitless, and a secondary aesthetic to what we call “glass painting”. The new 50PX950 connects these two.

    With the PX950, you get a flush screen with a “hidden” like the LX9500 LCD bezel, but at the edges, it goes on the blue theme of the previous plasma range – even if not entirely successful, it is subtle. For closer inspection of the fit and finish not like television sets from premium rivals.

    The 50PX950 is a plasma TV and so it is not supermodel thin, but much slimmer than its Panasonic competition. Everything is held upright by a tempered glass base and a clear plastic podium.

    The remote control? It’s a good – indeed, one of our favorites. The buttons are big, feel the ergonomic and easy to use without looking at. Our only slight bugbear is that you must press a button in the upper right corner to run the backlight.

    If you’ve been following the coverage you can about both IPTV and 3D, and will have been either confused or upset about the fact that it is suitable for both. For us, the money has always been on internet TV, but it is much less “sexy” in 3D. Despite that, the LG has to offer is still the only TV at the time of writing to BigPond movie and TV downloads.

    But is 3D that LG wants to sell to you, and in a bit of a coup there, the first THX-certified, the 3D to the quality of 3D images to be improved fetched. The TV will convert material into 3D and back again, and the record is a single set of glasses.

    The panel itself is a 1920×1080-pixel plasma, which promises a TruBlack filter, better blacks and less reflection features. For us is important as a TV as the LG 47LE7500 is distractingly reflective in a lighted room.

    The TV is well connected and has Ethernet and wireless networks (via a supplied USB dongle). You also get four HDMI ports (but no audio back channel support) and two component inputs. If the sound of content on-board to hear the TV channel you can use the optical to your receiver via digital output. A VGA input is also included.

    3D performance

    While the industry is still jumping up and down about 3D is the general public not so impressed by her. But this could change all the TV? As the “world’s first THX-certified 3D TV from LG” – see what they did with the quantifiers it? – We were excited to see how this TV in that which has carried out a quite appalling turnout this year.

    What does THX certification to do 3D? Now LG has a history of working with THX “accurate” to ensure sound and image. This is evidenced in the wealth of professional-yet-simple setup options on his TV. The THX 3D mode is to extend this by offering reduced crosstalk and better pictures.

    LG Infinia 50PX950 Side LG 50PX950 Plasma 3D TV Review

    In the test, we found it worked as planned. Switching between “Standard” mode and “THX” mode, we found the color palette was less hyperactive and more “natural” on the “Monsters vs. Aliens” 3D Blu-ray and spectral crosstalk was reduced. Unfortunately, there were still traces of crosstalk in the guide wires from the Golden Gate Bridge, the Panasonic and Sony systems could reproduce this scene better.

    Funny, proposes the TV you “a break of 10 minutes to 15 minutes per hour” every time you engage 3D mode and we can not see too many people stop a movie half of their eyes to do exercises. But it’s nice to know that they care.

    2D performance

    we will find the LG secure Actor – Move to 2D content – honest because sometimes, there are a lot of it about. It blitzed the synthetic tests such as playback of video content and the ability to “jaggies” to overcome, suggesting, it should also lead with the most content.

    But what can not the synthetic tests assess how well the TV play movies every day, so we invited our BDX2000 Toshiba player with the Mission Impossible III Disc, trawled through the picturesque bridge scene and pressed Send.

    The opening was sent flying by with a little wiggle and no moire in the fence that runs alongside the road treated. But as soon as the vision cut to Tom Cruise’s face the problems started, and yes smarty-pants, we know, but there was more wrong than that. Plasma may have trouble distinguishing between colors tend to a line between colors graduated as a smooth surface to leave. The skin tone on Tom’s face was spotted as he’d had a lifetime of drinking cheap port.

    LG Infinia 50PX950 Stand LG 50PX950 Plasma 3D TV Review

    Strangely, we found that this is a side effect of the THX mode – the colors were a little too “hot” and drag the slider down a bit of color we could eliminate them. Otherwise, noise was kept to a minimum and the TV was between digital sums (bad) and film grain to distinguish (good) competent.

    Go to “Batman Begins” on Blu-ray and the picture that greeted us was detailed and deep, and the gradation problem was less pronounced. The black levels may not like the Sony HX800s this world or the Panasonic Plasmas are made, but it’s closer to find in there, and us, this is important.

    This depth was was still in evidence on the King Kong DVD and TV confidently track movement without the “contrails” we’ve seen us on models like the Panasonic Viera TH-P65VT20A. Colors were natural, with King Kong’s fur looked like fur and not some form of gray-green licorice.

    His visual beings as we are, sound quality is on a TV usually something that we do not think about. But if you do not have a sound system then the LG makes a good fist of the dialogue and sound effects. We were pleased with how full and uncompressed it sounded impressed, and Mumbly players could be relatively well understood.

    The switch to the IPTV platform, we NetCast Fired Up BigPond movies and found the interface to be friendly and easy to use. The quality of the image depends on the source material, but pulling up a free copy of schlocky 80s cash-in-Masters of the Universe, we found that the picture was blocky and not worth the zero dollars that we paid for him.

    Conclusion

    LG TVs have a history of consistent performance, but it’s usually something small that prevents them from ever full credit and a reflective plate is one example. We were pleasantly surprised, then the LG 50PX950 has found no such glaring issues. It is a top performer at a good price.

    One might think that would be boring to read and review-one flat to another, if not deafening. And it would be if the technology were static. Fee-fie-ho-hum, will introduce a new flat screen of the scrum.

    But the technology is not static. LCDs, Plasma, HDMI, LED backlighting, side lighting, local dimming, dramatic black levels, improved Internet capabilities and shows the future potential for higher resolution and perhaps even 21:9 (2.35:1) aspect ratio sets-all have kept our interest high, and cause us to learn and write about it.

    And oh yes, the little thing called 3D. It seems lately to be big catch, especially in your local multiplex. The 3-D action promises to be, just as intense this fall on the retail floor of the local video store.

    The 50-inch Panasonic TC-P50VT25 is the smallest of the four sets in the all-3D VT25 series. Apart from 3D, an optional network camera (not tested), and a few additional features like a 96-Hz setting for the playback of 1080p/24 sources, its features are almost identical to those of the Panasonic TC-P50G25.

    The 3-sets that we have seen so far, all two of them, including this one-time effect have different and individually controlled menus for 2D and 3D operation. While the TC is THX certified for P50VT25 2D in its THX picture mode, it is not currently for 3D THX-certified. The cinema screen replaces the THX option in the 3D menu screen setting.

    Of the five picture modes Custom offers the broadest range of controls, particularly in its Pro settings menu. The latter includes white balance, a limited color management system, several levels of gamma, brightness, and three panel options.

    Panasonic TC P50VT25 Back Panasonic TC P50VT25 Plasma 3D TV Review

    Because the Custom picture mode offers additional controls, increase the brightness (in particular, the Panel brightness control), and because all the brightness you can get in 3D to have to overcome the format of the inherent losses, I have custom 3D view and THX mode for 2D.

    Panasonic 3D sets offer no 2D to 3D feature conversion of a 3D simulation of a 2D source. The company seems to feel that the only true 3D experience, the format of a long-term success rather than short-term gimmick, and this is certainly a defensible position. This omission meant that I was a 3D calibration on the TC-P50VT25. 3D measurements, with working 3D glasses are made, and you can not activate the glasses with 2D test pattern. We need more posts on this with future 3D Sets as a 3D model is available, or rates, which provide a 2D to 3D conversion feature. Incidentally, this is how we calibrate the Samsung UN46C8000 3D HDTV. While subjective color judgments are risky. The Panasonic 3D color was more than acceptable in the Custom picture mode on the limited 3D source material available.

    The Panasonic set-up menus also offer a range of specialized 3D control. 3D input device format offers Auto, Native, side to side or up and down options. Typically, you should leave this control in the car, but if the machine will not display a 3D source correctly, you can try the other selections. There is a left/right swap control, in case the eye images have become reversed. It is unlikely, but you’ll know it when you see him, as it looks really weird. There is also a diagonal line filter. Corresponding to the manual, the “triggers unease by the reception of a signal Quincunx matrix caused”. The last time I experienced a quincunx matrix, after I took the red pill.

    3D performance

    I will discuss further the overall performance of the Panasonic in the usual 2D generic categories (color, resolution, black level, video-processing) a little bit. The issue at hand is the 3D performance of the Panasonic and was outstanding in this respect.

    Panasonic TC P50VT25 Panasonic TC P50VT25 Plasma 3D TV Review

    I checked this set 3D performance exclusively with Blu-ray 3D content played back on Panasonic DMP-BDT100 Blu-ray player 3D. In the Custom picture mode, with the contrast to maximum (100), the panel brightness control to High, and the gamma to 2.2 if the Panasonic a crisp 3D images, even in modest lighting. He had more pop than I remember from the Samsung UN46C8000, although the set is no longer on hand for a direct side-by-side comparison.

    The Panasonic 3D quality seems to be mainly limited to the original material. It’s no big surprise. The Panasonic has most of the best 3D, while it showed clearly in the worst problems. The latter included live-action shots of the Grand Canyon on Panasonic demo CD. While some of the shots were good, others did not see better than standard definition.

    Scenic shots of the Canadian wilderness looked so spectacular that I break the old kayak and shoot me some rapids wanted (until I realized I had not an old kayak and even a new one). During a clip looked palpably from the sights of Rome real, more preferably from Rome I would have to be here and antics less clown face jugglers, although some viewers enjoy the jugglers “popping-out-of-the-screen”.

    Of the four 3D Blu-ray movies on the animated hand, is Monsters vs. Aliens simply the most fun while Coraline makes the most of the 3D medium. Although Coraline is a bit scary and frightening for anyone to care, it offers a boatload of visual delights. I found the film more interesting and involving in 3D than when I first saw it was in 2D.

    Overall, 3D on the Panasonic as effective as any 3D to see you in a movie theater, apart from pure image size can. Unlike the Samsung LCD I reviewed last month remains the 3D illusion on the Panasonic unabated even with significant off-axis angle. You can nature wider viewing angle of plasma designs thank you.

Whether you buy it for its 3D capabilities, or keep them a bonus, they are not likely to disappoint if you want 3D in the theater and love to bring the experience home.

Just step into your local HiFi store and you will, people crowded around a 3D display is usually attached just sharing a few pairs of functional glasses to see the furniture as a pin in the supermarket. If you have managed to cram and get your 30 seconds with the glasses, you may have impressed (depending on the skill of the workers, to set the display and/or how the glasses were damaged after the poster child for obesity Sat on them).

    We remember not so long ago, when a new kind of product would come out and you would have to pay five figures or more for it. Flat Panel were safer that way. But certainly the 3D market at a much lower premium is used. Panasonic’s new GT line by the end of August is a good example.

    Panasonic has included a lot of technology into their Viera line, and almost all of which makes it in the new GT versions. Of course, you have the full 1080p resolution, 24p playback, 3:2 pull down to remove mistakes, and a host of special features. While many (like streaming Netflix, Amazon, Youtube, Picasa, Bloomberg, Pandora, Twiiter and weather updates) have a network connection, others require more.

    Currently, there are Skype4 available, but you not only a network connection, but an optional camera, need to use it for the full effect. Frankly, we get enough of Skype interrupted when we work in our office, the last thing we would do it in our living rooms as well (although it was on our iPads, iPhones, iPods have, and other devices).

    The GT line includes USB ports, so that’s custom content through the Viera Image Viewer or add a wireless LAN adapter, keyboard, or just a memory. Panasonic also has its own IPTV functionality with which Internet-related cable TV or satellite TV, but is more interactive view. THX certification means that the displays were intended to be a certified reproduction of content. Unlike ISP certification is usually just means that all necessary controls for proper calibration, THX certification usually comes with a “THX” mode, which is much closer to a professional calibration can be as a normal user tends to get their own.

    The elephant in the room, of course, is the glasses. Currently, most manufacturers use proprietary glasses, the only brand of TVs with them. We are sure one day someone is an aftermarket pair that is compatible cross (and they can make a coin there), because now develop, you need to buy Panasonic glasses. The press materials indicate that the displays are not wearing glasses (although they probably come with at least two pairs, if more offers are signs). Panasonic shutter glasses are the diversity and run a cool $ 150 per couple (if Panasonic’s web site is to be believed). This means that a family of four needs $ 300 to $ 600 add to the price of the display, only the 3D they bought the TV on to enjoy not to mention for the guests.

    The one thing that everyone has got is abuzz about the new GT line from Panasonic their 2D to 3D conversion function. This takes your normal programs and converts them into 3D. While we do have never been seen in action, we know that if we paid $ 150 for Pop shutter glasses, we would figure out the maximum benefit from them.

    If Sony decided in a few glasses (or decrease in price for those who sell them), toss the price of the GT line would be much more attractive. There are many interesting technology in the Viera line on the top of the 3D including a number of networking and streaming options. So who will buy one of the new GT-plasmas? Well, someone who is much more interesting than in plasma power LED marketing hype for one.

    Maybe someone is interested in 3D, anyone interested in 2D to 3D conversion, or someone in streaming Netflix or Skype, or perhaps just someone interested in that, like the calm and comfort of THX certification. So, basically everyone. Featured is packed in a good way to describe the new Viera line. High-cost shutter glasses aside, this new 3D display should turn many heads.

    Plasma HDTVs can LCD devices in the consumer losing popularity contest, but a recent increase in sales of 50-inch and larger plasmas highlights the solid values that offer big-screen panels. LG 50-inch 50PG60 1080p plasma delivers a detailed HD picture, but the image contrast and color quality in general not on a par with the best TV we’ve seen this year.

    Unlike other flat-screen TVs, which is only part of the screen with a glossy bezel, the face that set by a seamless glass that extends to the edges of the frame, including its black bezel, giving cover to look for an attractive, modern and streamlined. The factory-mounted swivel base simplifies the setup and the placement of the 96.4-pound television. The baton-style remote control is identical with the remote in a position with the included LG 47LG60 LCD TV. Integrated bottom-firing stereo speakers (2 x 10W) produce clean audio capable of filling a medium-to large-size room easily.

    HD-compatible video inputs, four HDMI ports (one side-mounted) and two component video inputs. Video signal compatibility with these ports includes the standard format 1080p60, 1080p24, and the format that is increasingly becoming a common output option with many Blu-ray Disc player. A side-mounted USB port is handy for spontaneous saved slideshows with background music files on a connected storage device.

    We tested the 50-inch 1080p screen (the set is also available with a 60-inch screen) obtained with an HDMI input and video signals from a variety of professional and consumer video equipment. The set offers a “just scan” picture size option that can be displayed at each pixel video at 720p and 1080i/p material using HDMI or component input. Other 1080p plasma we’ve seen, including the Samsung PN50A650 and the Pioneer KURO PDP-5020FD sacrifice a part of the 720p video when using component video input. The average contrast ratio of 696:1, while good, is not nearly as impressive as that of the aforementioned Samsung (1035:1) or Pioneer (8808:1) models to achieve their remarkable results by using a measurable dark display of video – black. Also, plasmas are unique and dark colored screen protector material presented Pioneer also makes them more suitable for well-lit viewing environment.

    Primary and secondary color accuracy was almost perfect, although the amount of factory-calibrated “THX Cinema” picture setting produces a grayscale image that was too much green, tainting brighter colors. The THX mode exaggerated some video artifacts such as posterization (banding) that are common with compressed video sources like cable and satellite TV. Custom calibration improves color, and the set of image controls that are easily accessible in the regular user menus are among the most comprehensive I’ve seen on any HDTV.

    The THX mode does deliver superb HD video processing: The 50PG60 achieved a perfect score on the HD HQV Benchmark test DVD. Prime Time TV broadcasts in 1080i appear as detailed as possible. It is worth noting, however, that the above Pioneer and Samsung 50-inch plasma sets also delivered a perfect score on the same benchmark test.

With the THX picture mode, the monthly estimate reduced to 5.54 $ (273W).

    Samsung last year to tackle some significant improvement in picture quality on its plasma TVs, and with competition from Panasonic. But this year seems to be the target year by Samsung, the clearly visible in his introduction or large plasma TV and is under it, the PNC590 series. Although it has promised missing features such as Internet connectivity and services it makes up with excellent performance of the specification there. The series of TV delivers decent image quality but not the Panasonic G-series and start their own models 2009.

    All sizes in the series have the same specifications and therefore this review for other models can also be considered. Other models in the series are the PN58C590 and PN63C590.

However, there are two notable changes that will allow regardless of the packaging, the plastic edge that are transparent and composition of the peduncle. His plate is thicker than the step up, but not much effort. It is so that they will fit any room design. The remote is very similar to the UNC8000 and is a major advantage of the TV.

    Performance

    The image quality exceeds the similarly priced LG PK 750 but G20 is definitely missed and 25 series of Panasonic. Average black levels, in the absence of two major tests in 1080/24p Hick Ups. Viewing angle is quite normal, but rooms with reflections are reduced already in other Samsung plasma. Cinema Smooth option comes along, it has been designed to handle 1080p content, but we unfortunately do not say it does not work well.

    There will be no problems playing in bright light. To be exact, it results similar to that of Panasonic. The power consumption is pretty much reduced to the previous year PN50B650. It is more efficient by 14 percent. Therefore, for those who are interested in a lot of efficiency is good business.
