The Panasonic TX-P42G20 TV Reviewed

By Adrian Crede


Assessing and evaluating the Panasonic TX-P42G20 plasma TV will lead one to the conclusion that this newest of UK-specific Panasonic plasma televisions performs with seeming ease and aplomb. This 42 inch unit is new for 2010 and it includes and makes use of a variety of Panasonic technologies are both innovative and time-tested, including Panasonic's well working NeoPDP suite.

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.

Connectivity with this particular Panasonic is also quite easy to pull off, considering that a wide variety of components can be hooked to the television with little trouble. That's because this TV includes four HDMI input ports and two different USB 2.0 ports. There are also digital audio outs, and a VGA capability that allows one to use the TV as a giant computer monitor, even.

The TV is also Dolby THX certified, meaning that the sound it produces and then puts out will be very nice. All such TVs, of course, can benefit from the addition of a real audio sound system that delivers surround sound free of the television's limited number of speakers (usually 2) but this Panasonic does well at producing a decent quality of sound with little real effort.

This new Panasonic slots into the company's classic Viera line up of televisions and it also comes ready to be hooked up to WiFi and Skype when the optional WiFi dongle and a USB adapter is joined to the television. It only takes a couple of minutes to get it up and running and receiving WiFi signals, truthfully, and this TV is UK-specific, as well, meaning it has a three-pin-plug common to the UK.

The Panasonic TX-P42G20 plasma TV is a 42-inch flat-panel television of greater accomplishment. It's a replacement for the G10 lineup and is new to the public for the 2010 model year and is designed to sit attractively in a room of most any size. It can, in fact, make for a primary or even a secondary (in a bedroom, for example) TV. As well, its price (1,100 British pounds, including VAT) is attractive enough to draw in many looking for a new TV.
