Panasonic sees the speed of the plasma cells as a major advantage for 3D technology. The new flagship TX-P 65 VT 20 E proves impressively that this technology can still fascinate.
Great 3D cinema
Even the small brother TX-P 50 VT 20E has dusted an innovation price for its 3D technology in issue 6/2010 (test: from page 48). "Innovation" for a device that - if one is listening to the many LCD advocates - is based on a no longer modern technology is unheard of. But the verdict stands and the hypermodern LED TVs have to reach in terms of ghosting and image restraint first what Panasonics plasma device has presented.

True size
The topic of image size plays a much more important role in 3D technology than in the 2D world. Up until now only pixel size and signal resolution, which limited the image size relative to the viewing distance, is now added to a 3D killer argument: the parallax. The position of the eyes to each other (slight squinting) is decisive for the 3D-feeling. The closer an object, the more the eyes must twist.
Gloomy prospects
Critical for 3D TV is that if the objects are deep in the picture, the eyes should be parallel, so the virtual images on the panel must be about 6.5 cm apart. And we've got the problem: when a 3D movie is produced for the average 32-inch TV, the "eye-gap" for a 65-inch model doubles.
The eyes would have to squint away from each other, and no one can do that. Research at all manufacturers and in the Blu-ray forum have led to no solution to this problem. There is no doubt that the setting for the display size for effects has been found in many 3DBlu-ray players, but this should not be a problem.
The fear was great when testing the 3D gigs, the eyes of editors and lab staff could be affected. But all caution quickly turns into naked euphoria when one admires the great Panasonic in 3D action.
Obviously, films are minimized in their 3D depth so that a bending of the eyes does not occur even at a 165 cm image diagonal. The opposite is the case: the huge TV shows not only an optimal cinema angle, but also the depth of the 3D image is significantly increased by the widened parallax.
Panasonic has an excellent mid-range of flicker-free 3D viewing, 3D glasses provide the best overall image clarification and is easily tiltable. Not so good the flicker effects of neon room lighting and the low luminosity of the plasma display. The brilliance had to yield to the urge to reinze the electricity consumption.
With 377 watts in the standard film, the Panasonic for plasma technology is quite economical, according to the legislator however a spendthrift. One should still secure one of these TV giants before they might be banned in a few years.
What remains is breathtaking 3D television in the dark room. With just 10 Candela luminosity, 90 percent of the light energy remains compared to the 2D image on the line. What happens between these 10 candela and the 3D black value of 0.04 cd / cm², however, is enormous. One loses itself formally in the almost flicker-free 3D worlds, which hardly have cross-errors, which are reproduced very pleasantly and precisely. More home cinema fascination is not available at the moment!
Also back in the "normal" TV world makes Panasonics 65-incher a good figure. The factory setting is coherent, color temperature and gamma correspond to the selected values, and the color space is meticulously standardized. Thanks to intermediate images through "Intelligent Frame Creation" and a stutter-poor 24p movie mode, the image representation of fast moving objects is also very good.
The 600 Hz of the plasma bead achieves a good quantization without mis-contours during movements. But even if there is only 300 Hz for each eye in 3D mode, color errors can hardly be detected.

With a four-way tuner including CI-Plus option as well as any important connection, Panasonic is prepared for all input eventualities. In addition to the USB jacks, one of which is equipped with the supplied WLAN adapter, a SDXC slot ensures fast playback of JPG photos and AVCHD camcorder recordings.
If you connect a hard drive to the second USB port, you can even take advantage of the USB recording function, which makes the Panasonic to the grown-up TV recorder - including luxurious timer recordings via the program guide

A plasma display builds up its image of cells, which are filled with a noble gas mixture, which light up the phosphorescent cell walls when ignited. After years of development the cell walls have become thinner, the gas mixtures more effective and the phosphors faster. You can see in our lab picture the electrodes, which build up the ignition field. They lie as a horizontal band with hole patterns above the cells.
