subject: The Panasonic TX-P42G20 - Worth Considering [print this page] This TV is HD ready, comes with FreeSat, and much, much more. This may be that plasma screen television you have been looking for.
Panasonic has put a lot of effort into improving the picture processing method on this model and it is plain to see in the screen quality. This new model offers brighter colors and sharper pictures than the plasma screen TVs of the past. All of the issues that buyers had with previous models have been addressed. It can also be hooked into other Panasonic devices, which gives it a universal remote capability, and unlike many others on the market, does come with a headphone jack.
The new Viera NeoPDP technology gives you more with your set. The blacks are true black colors, and the whites pop out, making contrast in this set excellent. This also allows movies to be clear, and high action scenes are rendered to be smooth and not jerky. The only problem with watching is diagonal lines on DVDs, but a good quality player can combat this and make it not noticeable.
This plasma TV comes with its own SD card reader. Simply insert your SD card containing JPEG photos, and let the VIERA Image Viewer do its magic.
Cinema Enjoyment at Home - It's not always that you can find time to get out of the house to enjoy some cinema watching. Sometimes you feel too lazy to drive downtown and fall in line for a ticket. Now you can enjoy true cinema experience at home, as long as the Panasonic TX-P42G20 is in your living room.
First off, there's the off timer option. After a specified length of time, the TV shuts down completely, in place of a sleep timer.
The audio is helped with VAudio surround, which gives depth to sound based on the room's measurement. While the sound is adequate, many will want to add an external home theater system to get the most from this set to give it the full impact of sound that the set cannot provide.
You can also directly attach your LUMIX digital camera to the Panasonic TX-P42G20. Working as an HDMI input, you can access snapshots and video clips you have taken with it. If you got your image and video files on an SD card, worry not. The VIERA Image Viewer also enables you to display them in high-def brilliance.
