Why Buy the Panasonic Viera TC-P65V10?
Panasonic is one of the leading manufacturers of Plasma HDTVs and the Panasonic Viera TC-P65V10 is one of their best models yet. If that’s not enough, here are five reasons why you should consider getting it for your home.
1. Infinite Black Levels
The black levels of the Panasonic Viera TC-P65V10 are not just outstanding. They are infinite. In fact, some are comparing them to that of Pioneer’s Kuro line, which has long been the leader in terms of black levels. These blacks, which are created by the combination of its Neo PDP panel and its Real Black Drive System, make the images appear clearer and crisper so they truly pop out of the screen.
2. THX Mode
The images are even better when the THX Mode is engaged, with all the picture characteristics, including color accuracy, color saturation and shadown detail enhanced. After all, this mode is designed to let you watch movies just as the film makers intended them to be seen, which means you don’t need to buy tickets to enjoy the movie theatre experience.
3. Video Processing
Like most HDTVs, this Viera model de-interlaces both film-based and video-based sources properly and displays every line of 1080p and 1080i content. Furthermore, it can reproduce 24p content efficiently with a 96Hz refresh rate – better, in fact, than the 2:3 pulldown option that other HDTVs offer. This means that you can get to see films in their original format without having to suffer from any flicker or other distracting problems. The TC-P65V10 also has a 600Hz Sub-field Drive, which keeps images smooth and crisp during fast sequences.
4. Interactive Features
If you want to get the latest online updates without having to turn on your computer, you can do so with the TC-P65V10. Its Viera Cast feature allows you to access the latest headlines, weather reports and stock market updates from Bloomberg directly on your screen, provided that you have an internet connection and run an ethernet line to the back of the HDTV. You can even access high-definition movies and TV episodes from Amazon Video on Demand, which offers thousands of choices and doesn’t require a subscription, along with free YouTube videos and the photos from your Picasa account. You can also play media files from networked computers with the TC-P65V10′s DLNA capability, provided they have the right format.
If that’s not enough, you get to control your home theatre devices remotely via HDMI-CEC, which is called the Viera Link feature, and get to share your photos conveniently with the Viera Image Viewer and the SD card slot provided. You even have three types of background music and four types of display effects to choose from to make it more fun.
5. Good connectivity
Do you have a DVD or Blu-ray player, a recorder, an HD speaker system, a computer and a game console? You can connect them all to the Panasonic Viera TC-P65V10, which has four HDMI inputs, a PC input and two component-video inputs. There are also enough digital and analog inputs and outputs for all your audio needs.
These features, combined with a sleek design and other extras like a wide viewing angle and a Tools menu, make the TC-P65V10 one of the best Viera HDTV models available today. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most expensive, so if you’re on a tight budget, you can start looking somewhere else. Then again, the Panasonic Viera TC-P65V10 is worth every cent.
