Panasonic TX P5. G2. TX P5. 0G2. B review. With LCD TVs getting better and more popular almost by the week, the first of Panasonics new 1. TVs, the TX P5. 0G2. Sydney And Vaughn Season 4 there. Its just as well, then, that the TX P5. G2. 0 employs one of the brands high spec Neo. PDP plasma panels. Especially so, as Panasonic claims numerous improvements to Neo. PDP since its debut last year, including a new filter, a new discharge gas, improved phosphors, and even a redesigned cell structure. Theres also been an incremental improvement to the video processing engine at the TX P5. G2. 0s heart, in the shape of Vreal Pro 5.

Other promising features include an improved high contrast filter for reducing light reflections and thus boosting contrast, improving colour purity and enhancing outline sharpness a claimed 5,0. G1. 0 series and THX endorsement, complete with a THX picture preset. As expected from a reasonably high spec Panasonic TV, the TX P5. G2. 0 carries a Freesat HD satellite tuner. But it also sports a Freeview HD tuner, to handle the new breed of hi def broadcasts. Connection happy. The TX P5. 0G2. 0 has plenty of connections to explore, most notably four HDMI inputs, a LAN port, a D Sub PC jack, two USB inputs and an SD card slot. The LAN port lets you access content on a PC, go online with Panasonics Viera. Cast service, or, eventually, enjoy Freesat interactive services like the BBCs i. Player. Viera. Cast remains similar to last years offering, with You. Tube, Eurosport, Bloomberg, Daily. Motion and Picasa its biggest attractions. Other goodies, including Skype functionality and Ace. Trax video streaming, will come later in the year. If the idea of hard wiring the TX P5. G2. 0 into your network doesnt appeal, you can go Wi Fi via an optional USB dongle. The SDUSB slots will play a wide variety of multimedia files formats, including JPEG stills, AVCHDDiv. X MPEG2 video, and MP3AAC audio. Plus get this the TXP5. G2. 0 lets you record TV to an external HDD. These recordings have notable strengths and weaknesses. On the plus side, the TV records direct digital broadcast streams, so recordings can be either HD or standard def, and lose nothing in quality. You can also set the HDD to buffer video, for rewinding live TV. On the downside, you cant record to memory sticks you need an HDD with a capacity of between 1. GB and 2. TB. You also cant record from the analogue tuner, or any external inputs. Finally, because of DRM concerns you have to register your HDD to your TV, with your recordings only playing on the TV the HDD is registered to. Grrr. Please note, too, that the HDD has to be formatted before the TV can use it, so you cant share the HDD with other PC content. The biggest limitation of the TX P5. G2. 0s recording capabilities, though, appears to be the sets compatibility with different HDDs. I tried it with a slightly aging Buffalo HD EU model, and a year old Toshiba 2. GB Stor. E drive. Neither worked. In fact, apparently the only hard drive Panasonic has formally tested with its TVs is the Buffalo Just. Store Desktop HD EU2 UK series. One of which I duly had to buy. Im not suggesting that only new Buffalo HDDs will work with the TX P5. G2. 0, but, well, I suspect Panasonics customer helpline should expect quite a few calls. Taking on all comers So, do the TX P5. G2. 0s pictures throw down the gauntlet to this years upcoming LCD upstarts Actually, yes. For starters, notoriously tricky colours like rich reds, greens and skin tones look both more vibrant and more natural than they did on all but the most flagship V1. Z1 models from Panasonics 2. Even better, this crucial improvement applies equally to standard and hi def sources, with much less of a discrepancy between the colour tones of the two resolutions than I saw last year. Im also impressed by the leap Panny has delivered with the TX P5. G2. 0s standard def images. The Resolution Enhancer circuitry really does sharpen things up, and, provided you avoid its max setting, it does so without generating distracting video noise. Now, some of last years Panasonic plasmas showed troubling greyness over dark picture areas, but on the TX P5. G2. 0, blacks really do look magnificently black especially as the screen is startlingly good at soaking up ambient reflections. Furthermore, because plasma is a pixel emissive technology, its deep blacks dont come at the expense of overall brightness, and accordingly contain lots of shadow detail. Following on from this, I was also struck by the extra intensity and dynamism of the TX P5. G2. 0s portrayal of dark scenes versus last years equivalent models. The screens motion handling also improves on most previous Panasonic PDPs, as the Intelligent Frame Creation processing delivers enhanced fluidity without generating as many unwanted side effects. Watch Copycat HD 1080P. Even with IFC turned off the image seems less prone to judder. Panasonics talent for reproducing fine HD detail with its plasmas is again in evidence. In fact, the superior motion handling means that, overall, its HD pictures including those from the HD tuners actually look even sharper than they did on the brands 0. With the TX P5. 0G2. LCD fraternity by retaining colour and contrast from wide viewing angles, I can only manage to rustle up a couple of small negatives about this 5. TV. First, theres very occasional subtle fizzing noise over skin tones during rapid camera pans, especially with standard definition material. Second, theres a little pixel instability with certain colour tones but this is only noticeable if you sit far too close to the screen. Nor is the TX P5. G2. 0s audio as stellar as its pictures. Theres no great bass or treble extension, leaving the action sounding rather condensed in an overcrowded mid range. The soundstage isnt very wide, either. But at least the speakers never distort, and the audio is rarely harsh or tiring. Watch The Children Of Huang Shi Hindi Full Movie on this page. Worthy successor There are things about this TV that Id love to see Panasonic improve. Its still a bit plain aesthetically, it could sound better, and the USB HDD functionality is frustrating. But in the picture department its truly outstanding, finally delivering a worthy mainstream successor to Pioneers legendary Kuro sets. Follow Tech. Radar Reviews on Twitter http twitter.
