This is the second 3D TV from Panasonic for the year 2010. The previous one was a flagship model and the manufacturer had put in all possible features. Hence it was really expensive. For the Panasonic TC-P50GT25, the manufacturer has cut a few corners in order to keep the price low. The design of the TV is pretty lukewarm. There is nothing aesthetically appealing about this panel apart from the bronze brownish strip on the TVs bottom. The TV is glossy black and it is accompanied by a stylish stand which lets the display swivel on sides.
Panasonic TC-P50GT25 is three and half inch thick on the sides which means this doesn’t have LED technology. I liked the feature set of this panel for the price that it is offered for. On the back, there are two HDMI ports and one is on the side. You will also find two component video inputs and a VGA jack for computer connectivity. Remember that for PC, you don’t get the full possible resolution.
Ethernet port on the Panasonic TC-P50GT25 lets you connect the TV to the Internet. Panasonic has Viera Cast which gives has some cool interactive feature under its hood. You get Amazon Video on Demand and the TV also has Skype connectivity which can be used with a camera and microphone accessory (sold separately). Twitter too is there and you a keyboard (USB or wireless) for using Twitter.
Panasonic TC-P50GT25 has a lot of presets for picture settings. The manufacturer has given THX mode which can be tweaked according to your liking. You also get a custom mode with some picture adjustment options for white balance control, gamma selections, etc. This panel does have 1080p/24 compatibility but it uses 48 Hz technology so I won’t recommend using it much.
This TV has great picture quality and I really liked the black levels. They were as deep as some of the best plasma TVs in the market. The colors are nice and inky and they have the ‘pop’ which makes the picture look good. Picture quality is much better as compared to other plasma TVs in this price range and it is due to the THX mode.
Picture options on this panel are a bit less but this is not unexpected in an inexpensive TV. Panasonic has made a few compromises in order to keep the price low and hence I would recommend videophiles to stay away from this panel. You get anti-glare filter for lighting in the room but again, this is not as good as some of the best panels in the market.
Panasonic TC-P50GT25 has 3D compatibility but the manufacturer doesn’t give the glasses included with the product, you need to buy them separately. I was also happy to see a 2D to 3D conversion option here, something that is found only on higher end plasmas.
