Panasonic TC-P65GT30

The arrival of 3D TV has again provoked the long-running debate as to the relative merits of plasma and LCD TVs. Panasonic insists that plasma technology is best suited to 3D and has the Panasonic TC-P65GT30 to back up. It has got the other competitors lost in its tail-smoke.

Panasonic launched the 65-inch, 3D HDTV, which, even if not quite a 2nd generation 3D plasma TV, is still an upgrade. Plasma fans will be happy to know that Panasonic can still lay claim to the 3-dimensional high ground.

The latest Viera TC-P65GT30 is slimmer than before and is embellished by a black, glossy bezel. This uncluttered look will make a great impression. You will notice a bottom chassis to house the down-blasting speakers. The menu system is easy to navigate and gives you online support. Combine this with a decent selection of inputs, you will have yourself a well-designed TV.

High-Def Hero

The TC-P65GT30 truly excels when it comes to picture quality. Panasonic has improved the black levels to such a degree that it almost leaves no room for future improvement. The Infinite Black 2 technology helps to deliver pictures with stunning contrast levels and excellent shadow detail. This, combined with supremely natural color reproduction, help movies on Blu-ray to look almost on par as going to the movies.

For the sports and movie fans out there, you will love the visual punch of this particular set. This TV does not skimp on detail with its 1080p pictures. The definition is not lost during rapid movement either. Since the plasma technology is best suited for faster response times (than LCD), the TC-P65GT30 is loaded with a 600Hz Sub-Field Drive to pump pixels for each frame.
This is also one of the quickest in the market.

Watching the NHL or Monsters VS Aliens on Blu-ray is packed with a staggering amount of detail without ever losing sight of the tiny puck. Or if you have been watching a worrying amount of Kate and William on TV, you might be happy to know that they will look exactly as they would if you bumped into them on Trafalgar Square. This is the magic the TC-P65GT30 will bring you.

The 3D images in the cartoon are almost free of crosstalk with little noise. The colors rendered are on spot with perfect black levels. Images are completely clear of artifact with the huge range of colors that seem to spill out. Textures are very detailed with every hair and grass moving in the wind. The close-up shots of Insectosaurus seem to make him pop out of the screen even more. You will get the sense of depth, feeling almost as if you are standing with Susan outside the church before her wedding. The TC-P65GT30 successfully made the movie in 3D look just as crisp, solid and natural as it did in 2D.

The TC-P65GT30 has another feature that will enhance your 3D viewing pleasure. When it comes to image processing, there is support for 24p Motion Smoother. It minimizes the effects of the foul notion of getting nauseas when watching faster moving images.

What makes the TC-P65GT30 particularly intriguing is that it includes the ability to convert 2D images to 3D. The result is good, although its effectiveness is highly dependent on the source. You would have more fun with high-definition material. The transmission of NBA game lent itself surprisingly well to the conversion process. The conversion lent an appreciable sense of scale and size to the stadium when Lebron James was playing.

For the ‘Tweak’ in You

The TC-P65GT30 is clearly aimed at consumers who care about picture quality. Therefore, this TV offers you the option to pinch and pull the parameters manually. Otherwise, there are well-judged presets that allow you to enjoy good color calibration straight out-of-the-box.

The THX mode offers you a screen that is optimized for watching movies. When the TV is in its THX picture mode, what you see on the screen is as close to the original image as possible. This also means you will get smooth motion. You can also use this mode to start before you start tweaking to get the best picture presentation.

The Game Mode is automatically set when you want to play video games. When it’s in Cinema Mode you will be treated to a rich combination of contrast, color and detail. The pictures rendered are breathtakingly beautiful.

Sound Quality

You will be impressed to hear that there is no offensive rattling or distortion at any time, even when there was bass-heavy dance music playing. You could even knock the bass up a couple of notches and still have the same good quality. Voices are clear and crisp. There is also a headphone jack for added privacy or midnight considerations.

If you are looking for an add-on for an all-encompassing digital experience, you can look at the Yamaha YSP-5100BL Digital Sound Projector. It has HD audio decoding and built-in DSP, speakers and amplifiers. So there is no need for more speakers or cables.

Conclusion

The TC-P65GT30 bears the usual hallmark of their quality TVs. You get excellent picture quality in both standard and high-definition sources. 3D performance is top-class. This TV does not just render quality images. It also opens a completely new network and experience for you and your family and does not wreck your wallet. This TC-P65GT30 has the goods to back the media that is available so you don’t have to wait for technology to mature. We can only hope that more TV shows are in HD soon.
