Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
FULL HD 3D - watch your screen come alive
FULL HD 3D makes you feel as if you've stepped out of your living room and into the world on the screen. The viewing experience has never been so lifelike and compelling.The technology in which the left-eye and right-eye 3D images are sent to the viewer is the key to 3D image quality. For this, FULL HD 3D uses something called the Frame Sequential technology. A separate high quality image is sent to each eye. This addresses the image quality problems and blurring which is common to previous 3D systems, and creates sharp, crisp 3D images.Greater clarity, sharper picture
600Hz Sub-field Drive technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images with 1,080 lines of resolution. For even greater clarity with motion images, Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology. This technology converts the motion in each scene into data. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce aftereffects. *When using Cinema mode.
A contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 enables VIERA to display extremely robust blacks. A new filter, improvements to the cell discharge area, and enhanced cell performance have greatly increased luminous efficiency to produce crisp blacks. And minimising the electrical pre-discharge helps to both raise contrast and save energy.
A home cinema experience
THX reproduces film images exactly as the film's creators intended them. The overall aim is to improve the experience of cinema-goers and faithfully recreate the audio and visual ambience that filmmakers intended. To receive THX certification, TVs undergo stringent tests to determine, for example, whether the exact same brightness and colour are displayed at all screen locations, and whether black levels satisfy standard criteria. VIERA meets the high standards set by the THX Certified Display Program.

To be 3D or not to be?,
This review is from: Panasonic TX-P42GT20B 42-inch Widescreen 3D Plasma TV with Freeview HD and Freesat HD (Installation Recommended) (Electronics)
Debated for ages about paying the extra for the GT20 over the G20. In the end I went for it and although it cost £300 more the 3D is awesome!! The cost is also offset by the free 3D blu ray player, 2 x 3D glasses and 4 x 3D blu rays including Avatar.Picture in the house is phenomenal... in the shop the LED's look brighter but when you get them home they are too bright and make normal t.v look almost cartoon like. Got mine connected to SKY and on both HD and 3D the picture is something else. Watched a football match tonight in HD and it was snowing.... WOW!! You could see every flake!! Is 3D going to be the future? I don't know but I wasn't going to risk missing the boat and this T.V is fantastic taking away its 3D capability!

Great TV with amazing 3D,

This review is from: Panasonic TX-P42GT20B 42-inch Widescreen 3D Plasma TV with Freeview HD and Freesat HD (Installation Recommended) (Electronics)
I just bought this TV and im really glad i did,amazing picture quality very easy to set up and lots of options,and the 3D effects are amazing,maybe a gimmick to some,but only time will tell if it really takes off.At the time i bought mine the amazon price is abit high(December 2010),i got a far better deal from Johnlewis for nearly the same price i got the Tv with 5 years extended warranty and 3DBluray player with 2 years warranty and 2 sets of glasses and 4 3D Bluray films,Avatar3D,IceAge,Coraline,Paul Carrack..i think anyone buying a Panasonic 3d Tv at the moment can get the films by going to the panasonic website and downloading the order form, the offer ends 31th of january 2011. Is the TV worth the money,it is to me as im a major geek and 3d gaming and 3d movies are something i really enjoy,to others maybe wait for the price to drop or see if the 3D blu rays take off.

Good for blu ray/3d, otherwise..AVOID!!,
This review is from: Panasonic TX-P42GT20B 42-inch Widescreen 3D Plasma TV with Freeview HD and Freesat HD (Installation Recommended) (Electronics)
I traded in my 37 inch Panasonic lcd for this. I shouldn't have bothered. The way it was pitched to me in the shop & having read the reviews on Amazon, I thought I can't go wrong. I cannot fault the picture for 3d, fantastic after buying a blu ray/3d player, but that's as good as it gets! Watching tv through my sky hd box or freeview was a huge letdown! The picture is dull, not at all vibrant as said. Even after going through the picture set up and advanced set up, reading the manual, trawling through the internet for possible solutions, it remained bland, dark and lifeless. I can only scratch my head now, or wait for an engineer (or replacement) to explain what's going on. I know this may be expected from plasma screens, but the reflection is another negative. Extremely irritating after being used to a non reflective lcd screen! The sound...forget it. If you haven't got an amp, don't bother..it's useless. Sorry to sound negative, but after buying this in the hope it would be the 'bees knees', I've been left very frustrated!
