  • Panasonic TC P58V10 58″ plasma TV Review

    Date: 2010.10.22 | Category: Panasonic | Response: 0

    I already have a large number of current TVs, Panasonic expansive territory, some large, some good, some average, seen some innovative, some simple – really, it’s been quite a rollercoaster ride. But to some extent the P58V10 Panasonic model is the most exciting yet. Why? Mainly because there is absolutely massive!

    As the name suggests, predominant P58V10 the screen in a powerful 58in. And as I mentioned in reviews of really large screens before, it’s pretty remarkable how much additional impact that extra supplies eight inches above 50in screen. It’s kind of like the difference between a screen, many households could cope with a living room, and a screen so large that most people would probably be only in a special film room.

    The enormity P58V10′s not the sheer area of its screen does not end. For its bezel is strikingly large, stand around a few inches on each edge of the image. And the rather dull, gloss-free, black rectangular nature of the bezel is not exactly the screen no less effective in your room. But to hell. If you are seriously considering buying a TV’s on the 58in, I suggest that conservation is not the integrity of the decorative your room, the main thing on his mind, am right?

    capable of much greater importance to your needs is to be the compounds P58V10. And here the record is very good, if not quite outstanding. For your high-definition/digital video sources, for example, you get four HDMI ports – enough for a PS3, Xbox Elite, Sky HD box and perhaps its own high-end Blu-ray player, but one less than we are now looking for top-end displays from Samsung and Philips.

    Our eyes catch on the front lines is an SD card slot, JPEG, AVCHD and DivX files as well as a fairly important Ethernet port can be analyzed. This last Jack has not one but two purposes. First, there should be a portal to the BBC iPlayer service (good old Auntie Beeb would ever actually make the system running on the platform Freesat), explore, and secondly, it lets Panasonic VieraCast online.

    These carefully-fenced corner of the Internet is rather limited in scope at the moment, the only formats YouTube, Euro Sport and Picasa Web sites, so they are easier to navigate you through the TV remote control instead of mouse and keyboard. But as with all current online TV platforms, there is always the potential for more content providers are further added to the line.

    It has a greater degree to which you may have noticed that I mentioned a few paragraphs Freesat. For the P58V10 is how we would close its top position on Panasonic TV “ladder” where expected, equipped with a built-in Freesat HD tuner. This sits next to DVB-T and – shudder – analog tuner, in the whole range of free-to-air TV options currently the UK. And all the beautiful new digital channels of TV brings you away neatly hidden within an appropriate electronic program guide. While the P58V10′s Raw size, Freesat tuner and multimedia features a large contribution to explaining its somewhat hefty statements price tag, although I still feel as if it go a bit further before I have to really be still satisfied on the value.

    Cue the amount of video processing engine, the Panasonic Intelligent Frame Creation technology to produce an interpolation claimed 600Hz image used. In other words, adds the interpolation technology to create enough sub-frames on the original image to 600 different images per second. It is important to emphasize that the panel does not really P58V10 refresh 600 times per second, as we would normally expect the case when we speak of a “Hz” figure on a TV interview.

    A final noteworthy is the P58V10′s THX certification shows that George Lucas “quality control” anticipate outfit the screen has what it takes takes to deliver home theater perfection. to produce In fact, the expected rate, even a THX preset, with image settings for film-like experience. And if it do a thing of the P58V10 certainly, it is to produce such a film to experience.

    Since we are ever to be noted, went as high as Panasonic range you can really reap dividends has considerable power in this year, and the P58V10 reaffirms this belief in emphatic fashion. For while the images of the G-series, which one rests on the bottom of the Panasonic plasma shoots are good, are those from the P58V10 in a different class.

    The main reason for this is the P58V10 is much better color reproduction. Some of Panasonic televisions do not have lower-level blew me away with their colors this year with green or orange undertones lingering images. But, perhaps thanks to the Digital Cinema Colour Engine, see the P58V10 the colors while the HD is really great, natural, subtly blended, but also lively in a way we see too often with plasma technology. With such a great color palette on the screen, it’s really no wonder that THX, chosen with the P58V10. It must be said that the color palette a touch can sometimes forced, if you look at standard-definition switch, but it does not take much effort to change the TV settings to smooth this problem to an acceptable level.

    The P58V10 is also distinguished by the sharpness of his images in playback of HD. The combination of impressive video processing and Full HD resolution gets the maximum impact from the huge 58in screen, so no pixel unturned in his efforts to produce high-definition images of heart-warming – and silently – clarity.

Occasionally there are one or two processing artifacts for the motion processing efforts are, but if you do not rely on the system kept running at its maximum, its benefits outweigh the occasional negative comfortable.

    With some very powerful, dynamic and clear audio to accompany its large and mostly excellent pictures, the only downside I have in the P58V10 images that its standard-definition images do not look as sharp as I know them. But they have not so loud out, as is often the case with super-large screens, so I guess you could say the situation is six of one and half a dozen of the other, as my dear old nan accessible wont to say.

    The P58V10 only a solid standard-definition performer, but it is understood that a screen this size just screams for fed a diet as rich in high-definition content as possible. And with HD, his performance is really bossy – even more so, I would argue, more expensive ultra-thin Sony Z1 series.

    Pioneer has rightfully earned a reputation for producing big beautiful plasma HDTVs. The picture quality the KURO brand is considered by many videophiles as the gold standard against which all other TVs are compared considered. The beautiful pictures that do not disappoint from the KURO PDP-6020FD. And to the point, we are on this 60-inch 1080p plasma review our Highly Recommended award.

    Of course, not surprisingly, the acquisition of an upper ranks HDTV of this size requires a bit of change. Think of the purchase as your personal contribution to the patriotic stimulus program. (In addition, Pioneer produces 50″ KURO, the PDP-5020FD, have similar specifications, it is its big brother.)

    Power Consumption

    The EPA is now publishing a list of ENERGY STAR TV. (You can find it here.) Pioneer PDP-6020FD is on the list. The EPA finds that these KURO’s On-mode power is 355.6W and standby power consumption is 0.21 W. Based on the formula that the TV is on five hours a day and in standby for the other 19, the estimated annual energy consumption 650 kWh/year.

    You need to check your electricity bill to see how much you pay per kWh. The national average is 10.4 cents. Doing the multiplication, that rate is the annual energy cost of $ 68.90. When we measured the power consumption with a watt meter, called Watts up? Pro, as we expected, varies depending on the readings screen mode that we have chosen. If at all possible, I recommend you avoid the more power gobbling modes such as performance, Dynamic and Sport.

    Pioneer also provides an energy save option which is a handbook that. Decreasing image brightness and reduce power consumption, the recommended setting, Energy Save Mode 1, extends the life of your drive while the power consumption to a minimum.

    Performance

    Plasmas have always outshine LCDs because of their ability to produce deep blacks. The theory is, the deeper blacks, richer colors. Lords of the Sith HDTVs – And Pioneer Kuros are considered among the leaders in the dark. The deep black concept may seem like an abstract theory, but when you see the reality on a screen five feet, you become a convert. If this eye popping scenes experience, you know that you died and in the HD sky.

    But what moves me most is the stealth moments are when you are trapped in the film and slowly begins to feel the winds calm your spine and then realize how the image looks divine. It is transcendent. As a side effect for those who want to see their favorite films again and again to join them on a display as large as the 60″ PDP-6020FD offers you the opportunity to detail that could not see clearly on a smaller TV. For example, I found me just the expressions on the actors in the background of a scene.

    I decided to join, not on my laptop to the TV with a VGA cable as the instructions described that this compound was only capable of 1360 x 768 resolution. I know it would look good, but what a waste of pixels. If you hook your computer directly to plan the KURO, you are using an HDMI cable or a DVI-HDMI. The audio output from the 18W detachable speakers is as good as I have heard from a TV audio system. I actually feel comfortable about describing it with terms such as separation and presence. I even had a musician who is praised in the audio quality.

    The audio menu includes only the basic treble, bass and balance control. But the Sound Effect menu four additional features from the audio company provides SRS: SRS FOCUS, SRS, SRS TruBass and SRS definition. I am all out in Mid definition of what “sound clears voice and instrument”. I chose it to High. The effects significantly improved the tone and texture of the audio. With that said, if you are planning a home theater setup, seriously consider a dedicated 5.1 sound system.

    Conclusion

    The Pioneer KURO PDP-6020FD is simply a big, beautiful plasma with excellent picture quality, this HDTV that our Highly Recommended rating earned.

  • Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-P42X1 Review

    Date: 2010.10.20 | Category: Panasonic | Response: 0

    The Panasonic TC-P42X1 costs only $ 750 (as for October 2010). But while this plasma HDTV set can accept a 1080p input, it Scale image to its native resolution of 720p. This was the most likely cause of the movement the biggest problem in our tests: a noticeable “screen door” effect.

    namely pixels – Each digital image consists of a grid of squares. Typically, this grid is too small to notice when you watch TV from the recommended viewing distance. If the network is large enough to be noticeable, however, the result is a bit like a movie or TV show through a screen door (though not as bad, of course). Some of our tests had the TC P42X1 a noticeable screen-door effect. It saw the worst images from light and white background, but I saw it in a dark scene from our DVD of The Phantom of the Opera. This was not solely the result of the reduction of the image either: We saw the effect even when the set was from 480p to 720p upscaling.

    The TC-P42X1 overscan from a bad cut that all four edges of the image suffered. Unfortunately, the device has no overscan setting can be disabled in order to alleviate this problem.

    The TC-P42X1 had some color issues. In Lab tests, it showed colors, images that are less than they should have looked crisp and saturated greenish skin color. Normally, the handling to help with a number of controls with color problems, but we found that the TC-P42X1 controls lacked necessary to get the colors just right.

    Despite the screen-door effect and overscan issues, the TC-P42X1 pretty good job of rendering video. As you would expect from a plasma set, the TC-P42X1 an excellent viewing angle: You can sit on its side and still the picture of the full brightness and color. And while the viewing experience is not entirely free of halos, moire patterns and other digital artifacts, these problems are not as frequently at the TC-P42X1 as on most LCDs we’ve tested it against were. Too, could one of the advantages of a plasma screen, although it could also be the result of a superior image processor.

    When I turned the volume all the way up, the TC-P42X1 the speakers pretty loud, but not unpleasantly so – a sign that they are too weak. That is, they sounded very good that volume, with only slight distortion, wide dynamic range and superb virtual surround compared to other TVs. Great surround sound requires a separate audio system.

    Panasonic has made the TC-P42X1 fairly easy to set up TV. The inputs (where you would in a DVD player or DVR plugs) are well placed and easily accessible. The main on-screen menu is intuitive and readable for the most part, but it has its pitfalls. Select For example, if you happened a picture-quality settings such as brightness or contrast, and press OK, nothing, you have the right or left arrow key, press reacts to the menu. The menu is also missing on the screen returns, forcing you to look up the options that you do not understand the manual completely sufficient. A sub-menu button gives you quick one-button access to frequently changed options, such as favorite channels.

By pressing the circle with the arrow keys will take a bit of a stretch thumb – and worse, when you reach for the arrows, it is easy to hit other keys accidentally. The remote is not backlit or programmable.

    The TC-P42X1 has an SD card slot that can be used for viewing photos. The slideshow function is limited because they do not support background music and transition options to complement the show. You can not play music or videos from an SD card, either, and that does not support USB storage devices.

    Plasma sets are often energy hogs, so this Energy Star 3.0 compliant HDTV burns about 144 watts when in use, according to PC World Labs tests explained. (For comparison.

    Refresh rate and video processing

    Perhaps one of the greatest strengths of the TC-P54VT25 is the video processing and its ability to have multiple sources of video content at different frame rates without sacrificing the quality of the treatment of displayed content.

    The VT25 series of Panasonic plasma panels incorporate revolutionary short disintegration of red and green phosphors that 1/3 of the decay rate of conventional red and green phosophors that must be used in typical plasma panels. What this means is that it drastically cuts down on any kind of ghosting and blurring due to less decay of red and green phosphors, something that is a problem in conventional plasma TVs.

    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.

    Overall it was a decent black level performance, good color saturation and nice styling. Samsung PN50C590 is a good choice for you if you can adjust to the lack of streaming options and 1080p display issues.

  • Samsung PN63C550 63-Inch Plasma HDTV Review

    Date: 2010.10.11 | Category: Samsung | Response: 0

    Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend some time with the new Samsung plasma PN63C550 spend in Cleveland. I did some nice touches Samsung has included in its top end models in recent times, has fallen, I hoped that in the C550 I would a TV that gives up some of the fancy stuff, while retaining the core find picture quality of Samsung is best . C550 is the answer for enthusiasts who love a great picture does not care, but with 3D, or the latest 1.4″ inch thick panel?

    One of the things that are C550 it up to the more expensive sibling, the Real Black filter. While all plasmas pick up reflections and glare, there is a big difference between plasmas, how much typical living room lighting effects of image quality. The C550-screen pretty much brighter in bright rooms, for the best image quality, keep lighting control. When the C550 has to compete too much ambient light, the blacks and contrast to lose their fullness.

    Although I usually check and calibrate plasmas, which have had at least 80 hours or so to break, the C550 with whom I worked brand new out of the box. I could make the evaluation room dark, even though ambient light was mild, with no harsh direct light.

    After my familiar Blu Ray test material on the C550, I checked the picture options. Of the 3 available picture presets, saw the movie before you make natural settings. Colors looked rich and fairly natural, though overall the picture was a little grainy and seemed to lack punch and vitality. Appendix 1 shows the measured performance prior to calibration in video mode. Movie was actually brighter than standard-height mode (Appendix 2), which put out unacceptably dim 21 fL in addition to a less-accurate colors and gamma. At no time did I hear any buzzing from the panel.

    I checked the service menu and found nothing useful there, so did not want to do too much more dangerous experimentation, it looked like movie mode would be the best starting point for the calibration would be. Movie mode has all the usual contrast, brightness, color and similar controls in addition to high and low end grayscale controls and gamma selection. Movie mode proved to be very easy to calibrate and the results were good. Although there were some bumps in the gray scale tracking, it was benign in nature and severity. Shadow detail was great, dark images were in black at a good price, not too hard to see even more washed out too. Stability was good, with no black level fluctuation or pumps. Color, but was a bit problematic. As with the Samsung C7000 PN plasma I reviewed recently, with the color set, as the measurements proposed real program material have looked far too rich and colorful. Maybe Samsung has implemented a more aggressive car Color feature and held it in this latest models hidden, but for some reason it is necessary, again perfectly from the paint from the measured values have a natural looking result.

    When it came time to measure black, I have deliberately gave the set time to rest (about 20 minutes), briefly on the screen wipe function, rest and then leave before they initiate a measurement attempt. I covered the screen with a black ceiling to eliminate any stray light and moved from the Eye One Pro on my trichromatic 1 meter, which is much more reliable in low light readings. The resulting black level was a surprisingly good .011 FL, and the modified ANSI contrast ratio of 2470:1 was a great! Since these measurements were so much better than I expected, I checked it twice with similar results. In a dark room, the C550 should have a pending amount of pop and contrast.

    Unfortunately, I could not rate the C550 in a dark room, I could not see it at its best. I would expect the C550 great blacks and contrast to much more clearly in a dark room. However, it looked very good, with a natural, carefree look. Flesh tones, as with the C7000, were a little hot, but many people to love the presentation. If you were not one of them would, with the color down a few notches or turning the color setting in the Advanced menu, click run in tangy green skin tones without affecting the color too much.

    The graininess noted before calibration was gone. The only serious obstacle to a big picture was the lighting that was not the C550 from washing, to prevent the blacks. If I do not have appropriate power to light relates to a nearby Sharp image for comparison purposes, I could be the C550, the light output a bit more have joined in order to compensate for the washed out blacks.

    I had the opportunity, the C550 to a strong 60LE820 that I had calibrated to compare. High quality HDMI distribution amplifier is used to adapt the same image to both sets of food at once, and their light outputs were within 5%. Both were bent in the sitting position. The comparison was carried out in the same light conditions described above.

    If the power switch is turned off, the Samsung looked much milky, but considerations drew less attention, the Sharp had more noticeable reflections, but it is black to filter the light soaked better without washing out and turning gray.

    Samsung’s skin tones were stained slightly more in the restaurant scene DVE. The Sharp was a bit sharper and clearer, it was more pop, because the screen was dark. The Samsung had a slight green tint in comparison. The Sharp looked a bit cold, clinical, and hard, while the Samsung looked softer, but more natural.

    White clouds looked more natural on the Samsung, but rather as an enhanced glossy screen on the Sharp.

    There was a lot more green shading on the Samsung. For example, saw the bank vault in The Dark Knight steel gray (not green enough) on the Sharp, but green (slightly more than normal) on the Samsung. Much more pop and impact came through on the Sharp. Shadow detail was excellent on both.
