A View Of The Panasonic Viera TX-P42G20 TV

By Jerome Johnston


Appreciating the Panasonic TX-P42G20 television is made all the easier -- even with just a few minutes of assessment -- because this newest addition to the UK line of Panasonic plasma TVs does everything with such seeming effortlessness. It's a 42 inch, new-for-2010 plasma screen TV that makes great use of a number of innovative Panasonic technological features, including classic NeoPDP functionality.

Panasonic means this television to be a replacement for the older G10 line of flat-panel plasma TVs, and it succeeds quite well in this regard. Additionally, it is a true high definition TV (1080 pixels), meaning that it delivers a higher-quality display than 720p which, while nice, is still less than what true high definition televisions produced in terms of picture display.

As well, Panasonic makes great use of its "Intelligent Frame Creation Pro" technology that is paired up with a 600 Hz motion engine that ably keeps track and control of everything occurring on the display screen. For 2010, Panasonic has upped the ante with these TVs by including its Freeview-HD tuning filter, that enables the TV to pick up satellite channels in high definition without aid of a satellite dish.

Panasonic advertises that the contrast ratio offered by the TV comes in at 5,000,000 to 1, meaning that anybody watching the display will be very impressed by the deep richness of the blacks and the extreme whiteness of the whites. As well, colors will be faithfully and vibrantly reproduced. Combine that with a nice pixel rate and most would say that the Panasonic is delivering an outstanding display.

Connecting the TV to a number of different electronic components (DVD players, video game consoles, surround sound systems and even computers) will be fairly easy because there are 4 separate HDMI inputs and 2 USB 2.0 ports along with a variety of digital audio outs, memory card slots and the like. There are also VGA ports, which can enable the TV to act as a giant computer monitor, if one desires.

Sound emanating from this Panasonic is very good, and it carries a Dolby THX certification, too. In fact, sound is usually one of this television's strong points, though it's always a good idea to invest the money in a nice external surround sound system to complement and improve upon the television's own sound reproduction efforts.

Like many of the new 2010 Viera-class Panasonic flat-panel televisions (this TV is a Viera), the TX-P43G20B comes ready for WiFi and Skype through use of an optional WiFi dongle and USB adapter. It takes only a minute to get everything up and running, as well. By the way; the G20B features the 3-pin-plug common to the UK. The G20 is the standard plug version familiar to many others.

There is indeed quite a bit to like about the Panasonic TX-P42G20 plasma screen television. For the money (about 1100 British pounds, with VAT) one is getting a 42 inch plasma screen TV of impressive accomplishment. It replaces the older G10 television in the same slot in it's new for 2010, as well. It'll look good in most any room and it works well as either a second TV or is the primary unit in the home.
