Panasonic’s new flagship in the product-niche of big screen TV’s is the Panasonic Plasma TC-P65VT30. Its black level performance beats basically all competitors and ironed out the weakness some of the Panasonic models showed in 2010 and is the best model Panasonic put on the market so far in the High End sector.
This modern piece of electronic comes of course with a price where buyers should expect nothing else than top performance and ranges at the moment above $4,000. In THX mode it shows the color points very accurate and works very well in bright rooms with the small restriction that the glass-sheet covering the entire front of the TV seems to reflect a little bit too much light. Most users praise the HD and the 3D quality of this 65 inch TV and mention an extremely detailed picture.
The 3D settings can be adjusted to your personal preferences and one “negative” aspect of its quality is, that the 3D effect of the TC-P65VT30 is so intense that viewers intend to look more at the background than the actual movie or game they play.
Panasonics Plasma flagship comes with one 3D glasses which appears a little bit greedy of the manufacturer when the customer spends well above $4,000.
The Panasonic Plasma TC-P65VT30 comes with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 in HD with a refreshing rate of 600Hz and a aspect ratio of 16:9. The 22 Watt stereo system (plus woofer) creates an appropriate sound but most people purchasing a high end big screen TV like this Panasonic should have their surround system at home for the full enjoyment.
With 4 x HDMI input (19 pin HDMI Type A), 3 x USB (4 pin USB Type A), Audio line-in,1 x Network (RJ-45) as well as ARC channel and a 3D-compatible SD card slot the connections should cover all your needs.
You can connect to the internet (wired or wireless) via Panasonic’s Viera Connect Internet Suite which works straight forward with a good selection of preloaded apps.
The Panasonic Plasma TC-P65VT30 is with almost 140 pounds a heavyweight but each pound adds to the quality of one of the best performing big screen TV’s in 2011 so far.
