A review of the Panasonic TX-P50G20B Plasma TV reveals one of this Japanese TV manufacturer’s most memorable achievements for 2010. It is made to replace the G10 line of plasma screen TVs and has improved the performance aspects of these TVs from Viera-class on almost every performance metric, which is an impressive achievement in itself. The Panasonic TX-P50G20B is the same as the Panasonic TX-P50G20 sold in the UK. There’s no difference.
Panasonic prides itself on always adding some new feature or improvement whenever it updates its lineups, and these new TVs are no exception, because the manufacturer now includes the Freeview-HD tuning filter, which is a fairly new feature in the UK. . With it, homeowners will be able to access a range of HD satellite channels without having to resort to a satellite dish or other equipment.
Image display on this Panasonic TX-P50G20B Plasma TV also receives a very high rating from most experts, much of which is due to Panasonic’s use of the tried and tested NeoPDP technology suite that always works fine. It supplements 1080 pixels and does so quite easily, making it a true HDTV that’s a cut above the old-style 720-pixel TVs.
Contrast ratios with this new Panasonic TX-P50G20B TV also come in at an astonishing 5,000,000 to 1, meaning that any screen presented by the TV will be impressive in almost every way. Blacks will look stunningly black, while whites will stand out with their vibrancy and brilliance. That’s not even mentioning how stunning colors will tend to look, no matter how fast the action is.
In keeping with that, Panasonic uses its “Intelligent Frame Creation Pro” technology suite to support a very good 600Hz motion engine that keeps all on-screen action looking sharp and clear, as well as free of on-screen artifacts. . In other words, there will be no visible evidence of blurring or smearing, no matter how fast the action moves on screen.
The sound reproduction quality of the Panasonic TX-P50G20B TV is also excellent, and Panasonic has worked hard to ensure that all of its new G20 Viera-class TVs are THX certified. What this means is that those who hear the sound coming from the TV will think they are in a movie theater. To reinforce that, it is recommended that a good external surround sound system be connected to the television.
And it will be easy to connect a lot of different components to the TV because there are several different ways to connect as many components as you want. This is because there are several different HDMI input ports and a couple of USB 2.0 ports. In other words, DVD players, game consoles, and even computers can be connected quite easily and then fully utilized.
In the end, after a short evaluation period, you will find a lot to like about the Panasonic TX-P50G20B Plasma Screen TV. It’s a 50-inch behemoth that handles all of its on-screen features quite well, it must be said. And, at a price of just £1,400 (including VAT), it’s a sure bet that many consumers will look at it and put it on their ‘must have’ list for Christmas 2010.
