The Panasonic Viera TX-P46G10 is one of many new plasma TVs that have been released by major TV manufacturers in recent years. Many plasma TVs have problems like poor image quality and are useless for gaming. How does the Panasonic Viera TX-PG46G10 compare in these categories?
There have been mixed reviews of Panasonic’s previous TVs, including the plasma and flat screen versions. Panasonic released a slew of new TVs this year and the TX-P46G10 was one of the best of the year from Panasonic or any brand.
Panasonic decided after the release of its first plasma televisions to redesign the product in an effort to improve picture quality. The new TV is actually more energy efficient than previous models and the picture looks clearer. Movement looks better on this model compared to other plasma models that leave trails when objects on the screen move. This can be quite distracting and is a problem that Panasonic has managed to fix.
In addition to excellent image quality, the Panasonic TX-P46G10 also offers excellent sound quality. A great picture is worth less when the sound quality doesn’t match, but there’s no problem in that department with this TV. The TV integrates HD technology for the clearest digital image. HDTV compatibility also allows you to connect to HDTV services offered by your cable provider. Many TV shows available now are offered only in HD and without an HDTV it is impossible to watch those shows.
Despite the vastly improved picture quality and faster screen movement, the Panasonic TX-P46G10 may still not be the TV to play video games on. There may still be a minimal amount of screen flicker, although this issue has been largely resolved compared to previous plasma TVs from all manufacturers.
One of the most impressive changes Panasonic made with the TX-P46G10 is the reduction in power consumption. There have been complaints that while plasma screens are great, they are far from green. In today’s society, green is all the rage, and a TV that isn’t energy efficient will win fewer buyers than its energy efficient competitors. Making the Panasonic TX-P46G10 more energy efficient was a smart move that will benefit Panasonic’s sales.
One of the most impressive features of this model is the memory card slots. The TX-P46G10 has SD and SDHC memory card slots that allow you to view digital images and videos from your camera on the plasma screen. This can be a great way to display photos to guests. It’s the new and improved version of the sideshow.
Although some of the old problems that plasma TVs are known to have still persist in the Panasonic Viera TX-P46G10, it’s a vast improvement over previous models. This TV is competitively priced with similar models under £1000. This seems to be the best value Panasonic has had for a plasma TV yet, so if you’re looking for a plasma TV, this may be the one for you.
