The Edge Soft

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 Blacks

Plasma televisions are known for their outstanding black levels which contribute to the creation of breathtaking images and the Panasonic Viera TC-P65V10 is no different. In fact, it takes black levels to the next level with its Neo PDP panel and Real Black Drive System, making them infinite with a dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1.

2. THX Mode

With the TC-P65V10, you don’t have to buy tickets to enjoy the movie theatre experience. You can enjoy it right in the comfort of your own living room by engaging the THX mode. This mode enhances color accuracy, detail and other picture characteristics, and even raises the audio quality up a notch, faithfully recreating the ambience of a movie theatre.

3. 24p Cinematic Playback

Speaking of movies, the TC-P65V10 can display these in their original format – 24p, without suffering from the flickering problem which plagues previous models or the hitching motion associated with the 2:3 pulldown mechanism that many HDTV models offer. This is because it has a refresh rate of 96Hz. Overall, processing is one of the strengths of the TC-P65V10, which is equipped with a 600Hz Sub-field Drive that reduces blurring and other motion artifacts with its image-analysis technology. It can also de-interlace and display different sources properly.

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.

All these make the Panasonic Viera TC-P65V10 a truly excellent HDTV, which is why you should consider buying it, if you can afford it, that is. After all, this model is also one of the most expensive Vieras out there, but certainly lives up to its price by providing a viewing experience unlike any other.
