The Panasonic TX-P42VT30B forms part of Panasonic’s latest range of HighLine televisions, building on the previous generation of 3D televisions, and it is packed with fantastic features. At first glance, what you will notice first is the screen and the picture quality. The beautiful design of the TV is largely down to the screen, which is made out of a single sheet of glass giving the television a totally frameless design, but the ‘one sheet’ design doesn’t just look great, it gives unmatched picture quality. Because of this, Panasonic’s 30B series of televisions are the only TV’s in the world to have THX 3D Certified Displays, for me this is the highest accolade a TV could have. Basically, it means that all material seen on the TV is exactly how the directors intended it to be seen. The THX 3D certified display is down to the huge range of technologies that have introduced. For example, 600Hz Intelligent Frame Creation PRO feature, gives you clean, sharp, shake-free pictures in Full HD 3D.
As with Panasonic’s previous 3D TV’s, the Active 3D glasses do all the work to change the images on the screen into 3D images. Panasonic’s Active 3D glasses work wirelessly and display one Full HD 1080p image per eye, giving viewers an incredible Full HD 3D experience. The Active 3D glasses are comfortable and easy to wear, especially when compared with other 3D glasses. They are now rechargeable too, meaning no need to change batteries after every few films. Also, for any of you who have children, the glasses now come in three sizes, including small which are secure but comfortable for any little people!
As well as the Panasonic TX-P42VT30B providing a fantastic viewing experience, much more can be done, too. The Panasonic TX-P42VT30B feature Panasonic’s latest IPTV Portal, VIERA Connect giving you access to loads of interactive games and numerous applications. Also Skype software is included which if paired with the Panasonic USB camera with integrated microphone, free video calls can be made, across the world from your living room.
For me, the so-called ‘jewel in the crown’ of this TV would be the importance Panasonic have placed on ensuring the TV is environmentally friendly. The Panasonic TX-P42VT30B technology provides a long-life panel of up to 100,000 hours which equates to 30 Years of usage when using the TV for 8 hours a day, also the Panasonic TX-P42VT30B needs only 25% of the equivalent energy to run a comparable 2007 a Panasonic model – a 50% bi-year on bi-year saving, making this TV easy on the environment and your wallet!
