Panasonic’s Viera TC-P50VT25 quickly demanded our interest with incredibly crisp, comprehensive images. In fact, to a person, the TC-P50VT25 impressed every person in our content team, which was just within 2D picture quality when we switched on the TV for the first time. Later, in side-by-side comparisons, the actual Panasonic easily bested the actual Samsung PN50C800 all of us reviewed together with it, creating a remarkably detailed, clean picture with visibly greater color range within shadow as well as highlight content material, and impressively deep shades of black. Who knows, maybe we can prefer Panasonic’s “Infinite Black Solar panel Pro” technology, which supposedly makes improvements towards the pre-discharge state associated with plasma cells to reduce the actual graying of exactly what should well be pure blacks.

When Second images look this great, 3D is simply icing about the cake.

While the Panasonic boasts exactly the same size display as the Straight talk samsung, this husky large outweighs it’s competitor by nearly 5 pounds (trust us, we’ve lifted it), and it is significantly heavier as far as screen chassis depth. It offers four HDMI advices and two USB inputs, as well as a PC Input and a LAN Interface. The TC-P50VT25 also comes with a decent array of built-in Internet app choices via VieraCast, it’s IPTV solution. Including the usual thinks: YouTube, Picasa, Pandora, Netflix, Fox Sports, Tweets, and Skype.

Whenever we positioned the TC-P50VT25 next to the actual Samsung PN50C800 and ran via a series of high-resolution still images, the Panasonic exhibited wonderful sharpness and colour depth, displaying us far better detail right down to strands of hair and eyelashes. The TC-P50VT25 did pattern toward the cooler colour temperature, but still produced correct colors within DisplayMate’s Color Wholesomeness and Uniformity assessments. We were, nevertheless, a bit concerned by red-channel reproduction in color scaling tests, where reds, oranges and yellows might have used a few adjustment.

But let’s get real: You’re not really sitting in the testing lab checking out still photos when you’ve got the 50-inch plasma in front of you. You’re going to be watching something with an explosion or perhaps a fight, like right now. So, how does the actual Panasonic actually carry out while you’re, you realize, watching it? In a word, superbly. And while all of us did find ourselves boosting brightness levels during V for Vendetta to be able to see much more detail in dark moments, the Panasonic performed exquisitely general. Also perfect was game play. We saw no ghosting or even artifacts all through our extensive testing associated with Call of Duty as well as Gran Turismo.

The actual TC-P50VT25 has a staid commercial design, however offers an extensive array of image adjustment options-you understand, so you can completely mangle your configurations for a poorly calibrated, over-saturated image, if that’s what floats your boat. The rest of the onscreen controls and also the remote are fairly basic and organized in a simple manner.

Panasonic includes one set of Three dimensional active shutter eyeglasses with the TC-P50VT25, as well as oh, boy, are they ever ugly. Eyewear aesthetics apart, the 3D experience by itself was superb. The display produced nearly zero Three dimensional image cross-talk-that ghostlike image that seems when content material intended for, say, your left eye sometimes appears by your right eye. Off-axis performance in Three dimensional was outstanding too.

General, the TC-P50VT25 is really a hands-down winner, although we’d like to see a thinner screen profile, more exciting commercial design, as well as full plug-in of every Web content service available today, tomorrow and forever.
