The picture quality this TV puts out is crazy good. Colors are bright and vibrant without being over saturated and unrealistic. Blacks are inky black, and dark detail is dandy as well. One of the reasons I bought the GT30 over the ST30 is the THX manner which gives really good out of the box picture1 without any aftermarket calibration. If you’re into tweaking the picture2 though, there are two professional picture3 modes that permit selfsame in depth picture6 controls.
1080P Generator Textile with a high bitrate (such equally blurays or Vudu HDX) flavor incredibly sharp and stunning, while not looking sharp to the channelize of unrealism as some LCD’s look. 720P sources feel selfsame good equally considerably if a routine softer. 480i/p sources smell alright. I solely spent a few moments watching SD and Panasonic VIERA TC-P50GT30 the experience was unexpectedly unimpressive. Motility on the GT30 appears selfsame smooth and realistic without displaying the atrocious “soap opera effect” that 120/240Hz LCD’s look to suffer from.
I tried employing the Viera Cast software that Panasonic builds into these Tv’s and I found to be fairly laggy. It wasn’t selfsame responsive and I felt the design to be a short on the ugly side. Vizio and Samsung have much more polished media platforms constructed into their Tvs. It’s potential Panasonic will ameliorate performance with firmware updates in the future. If I was planning on utilising Viera Hurled I would mark my score down simply I have a Media Nub PC and PS3 that interchange completely the functionality Viera Cast offers.
3D performance is identical good. So far I’ve watched Tron Legacy on 3D bluray and played some 3D PS3 games; the 3D film is selfsame immersive and THX color accuracy remains selfsame good in 3D mode. I’ve received bad experiences with 3D crosstalk on a friend’s Samsung C7000 LCD and it can get very annoying and distracting. Thankfully I haven’t experienced any of that on the GT30 in a dreary or light viewing environments.
I’ve learnt some early reports of the GT30 exhibiting swimming blacks when considering material that changes from a darker to a lighter aspect suddenly. I haven’t experienced any of this. I watched Blackamoor Swan on bluray to examine this and negro layers remained dismal and consistent throughout with no little jumps in brightness.
I’m besides identical impressed with the purpose of the GT30. It’s most equally thin equally my Motorola Droid and it appears stunning climbed on my wall. Panasonic has traditionally lagged behind the likes of Sony and Samsung when it comes to the aim of their Tv’s simply they actually trod up their game with the GT30. Having a TV that seems near as stunning when turned away equally it does when turned on is an unexpected plus.
Overall the GT30 is an incredible TV that makes no compromises when it comes to picture08 quality. If you desire to expend more money, the VT30 it will credibly ameliorate upon the GT30 in some fashion when it’s released but I’m having a hard time coming up with things they could better outside of their Viera Cast platform.
