When considering the Panasonic TX-P46G20 plasma TV, understand that this 46-inch television sits as a new model in the Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer's Viera lineup of TVs. For years, Panasonic has been known as an innovative maker of such flat-panel TVs and this one -- with a wide variety of features -- will be sure to please most any discerning consumer in the UK, it must be said.
As with many of the better LCD and plasma flat-panel big-screen televisions in the Panasonic lineup, this one includes a couple of handy tuning filters, the first being its Freeview-HD offering. With it, one will be able to tap into more than 100 UK-specific channels for free. As well, there's no need for satellite dish or any other equipment to get up and running and enjoying these channels.
There's also a second filter, which is the Freesat feature, though this time it's offered with HD capability. Once connected to a satellite dish, this filter allows the viewer to access even more free satellite channels than can be found with just the Freeview-HD filter alone. It's obvious that Panasonic has taken the time to build this TV with a high level of quality and features.
All of the images displayed on the television's screen come at a viewer in true high definition, meaning that this particular Panasonic does it all in 1080P (pixels). There are a few new-to-Panasonic technologies for enhancing the picture that build on top of the company's NeoPDP technology suite. Additionally, the TV puts forth a super-fine contrast ratio of 2,000,000 to 1 for very deep blacks and very bright whites.
All of this on-screen motion is controlled by a fine 600 Hz processor, which is robust enough to ensure that there'll be no smearing or blurring on the screen in cases where the action is moving very fast.Panasonic calls all of this technology "Intelligent Frame Creation Pro, " and it works exactly as promised.
The company also now includes WiFi and Skype-capable functionality that only needs an optional dongle and USB adapter to start taking advantage. In terms of the plasma screen's lifespan, the company rates it at more than 100,000 hours, meaning that most consumers will probably replace the TV for a new one long before it ever really begins to degrade. Also, it features a high degree of connectivity.
As evidence of its ease-of-connectivity, Panasonic has included four HDMI input ports, Ethernet and audio outs and two different USB 2.0 ports. If desired, a user can connect a laptop or PC to the TV in no time at all and the TV also has an SD memory card slot to bolster its functions. As far as sound goes, it's first-rate and includes Dolby THX surround sound functionality.
When all of the functions and features of the Panasonic TX-P46G20 are added together, it's easy to see why many UK consumers are going to be willing to pay around 1300 British pounds (including VAT and after application of a 60-pound voucher) for this new addition to the Viera lineup of Panasonic plasma screen televisions. It will be sure to please, sitting as it does in an attractive glossy black casing.
