Picture

The Panasonic TC-P65VT30 HDTV picture is a true 3D THX cinematic experience when used with the included pair of Panasonic active shutter 3D glasses. You will want to share the stunning 3D quality produced by this set with family and friends so you will need to purchase additional pairs of Panasonic’s 3D Glasses (TY-EW3D10U) separately. Panasonic’s Infinite Black Pro 2 panel delivers deep, rich black levels and high-contrast colors in virtually any viewing area. The 65” screen runs Panasonic’s 600Hz Sub Field Drive technology eliminating motion blur and rendering full action video at 1200 pixels per second. If you want a cinema-like home viewing experience, plasma holds the edge in smooth motion and rich colors. Not only can it render video in 3D, but Panasonic have included an SD card slot for use with the included Viera Image Viewer application. This feature allows you to view video you recorded yourself with 3D playback and will let you convert and view 2D digital images in 3D.

Sound

The Panasonic TC-P65VT30’s 6-watt dual speakers and 10-watt woofer add significantly to the home theater experience. An improved 2.1 speaker system brings superb sound to 3D video. Dual speakers face front for sharp highs, while the boxed woofer rebounds behind the set to improve the bass. Shipping with a volume leveling feature, the set automatically adjusts volume control for spikes during channel surfing or commercials.

Internet Applications

Viera Connect, Panasonic’s Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), is the Internet hub for this set’s connection to services and streaming media. Using the Panasonic TC-P65VT30 HDTV remote control to navigate the screen, video and music services from several providers is available as well as gaming, news and sports content. All the popular social application widgets for Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Picasa, etc. are accessible via the TC-P65VT30. You must connect to your home network via the included wireless transmitter USB dongle or the wired LAN port to access these Internet services.

Cabinet

The TC-P65VT30 has just a 2 3/8 inch thickness when wall mounted. The panel display is edge-to-edge glass with a “one sheet of glass” design with a stylish metal frame all around. When using the included stand this 3D HDTV will be nearly 16 inches deep on a table top or entertainment stand and will weigh in at nearly 139 pounds. Weighing 124 pounds without its stand and having a 62 inch wide display, you will definitely need assistance to get this 65 inch display placed where you want it.

Set-Up

The Panasonic TC-P65VT30 TV features quick and easy channel setup with the on-screen menu and the intuitive remote control. For superb picture contrast and deep blacks, place this set in a room where you can dim or darken the lighting.

The Panasonic TC-P65VT30 is ready for HDTV viewing in minutes. To watch video in 3D you will need to use the included Panasonic active shutter 3D glasses after a 3D conversion display is selected. Don’t forget to buy additional pairs of glasses so your family or friends can view the 3D content as well. It’s a shame the marketing team couldn’t include a second pair of glasses with the purchase. Seems like adding a second pair would have done much for customer satisfaction and not impacted the overall profit margin. But they didn’t, so should you neglect to add them to your final purchase you will be alone for the first viewing of a 3D film or broadcast.

Connections

Component connections are available and positioned both on the rear and side of the TV. The connectivity options include four side mounted HDMI ports for your High Def content video sources. There are also two side mounted USB ports. Downward facing connections include the connection for your PC, the RF connecter for cable boxes and over the air antennas, composite video and component video connectors. Both the wired local area network connection and the digital optical audio output are on the lower input bar. This HDTV recognizes digital audio, video and image formats automatically, and includes an SD card slot.

Energy Guide

Panasonic has a knack for engineering appliances that are ultra-energy efficient. This Plasma is no different and comes in under the cost range of operating similar models of 65-inch to 69-inch sets. The estimated annual cost of running this type of set is between $35 and $83 per year. The cost for running the P65VT30 6 hours a day every day of the year is $32.

Conclusion

The Panasonic TC-P65VT30 will fully immerse you in the HDTV 3D experience. The TC-P65VT30 is very energy efficient because the new plasma technologies are quite efficient and produce less heat than earlier plasma panels. Its 1080p resolution is beautiful in both 2D HD viewing as well as 3D HDTV. Action and sports sequences are smooth and lag free with the fast switching phosphors in this VT30 class of plasma HDTVs. Everything is one click away with VIERA Tools. This provides quick access to the set’s special features (3D, THX, VIERA Connect, Media Player, etc.). These are presented as icons on the screen. The P65VT30 started out the year as one of the priciest sets available. As time passed and the excitement of new products waned, so did the price. The price on this Plasma set had been reduced as much as 35%. If you can get free shipping then buying the Panasonic TC-P65VT30 is a great bargain.
