Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Full-HD NeoPDP Model with freesat built-in, Superb Moving Picture Quality and Advanced Networking Capabilities. “freesat” is a digital satellite service that offers free HD (High-definition) TV programmes. With the V10 series, you can enjoy sharp pictures, vivid colours, multi-channel sound, and various services with the interactive contents.

600 Hz 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, then optimises the sub-field to display fast-action scenes in full-HD resolution. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce aftereffects.

VIERA's wide colour gamut covers 120% of the HDTV colour standard. This approaches the level of colours in cinemas and produces images with extremely rich colours. THX® certification is given to TVs that are optimal for watching movies. This means that the image quality has passed the necessary criteria for brightness and contrast, making it possible to enjoy images exactly as the filmmakers intended, in your own home.

Enjoy the Internet contents right on your TV. With VIERA CAST technology, you can enjoy online content such as videos, photos, weather and stock information through an easy-to-use Web interface that's built into the TV. No extra equipment required.

DLNA is a standard that makes digital electronics easier and more convenient to use on a home network. For example, DLNA makes it possible to watch motion and still images stored in your computer on a large-screen TV, or to watch content stored on a hard disc recorder in your living room or bedroom.

VIERA Link allows interconnected operation of various AV devices using only the VIERA remote control, by simply connecting the devices to each other by an HDMI cable. What's more, the VIERA Image Viewer provides a new photo viewing experience. Simply insert an SD Memory Card into VIERA to display photos and full-HD videos on the large screen. You can also choose from among 3 types of background music and 4 display effects.

    Panasonic V10 29 July 2009
    By Biggles
    I have always been a fan of Panasonic screens even though sometimes other attributes are not quite so good. For me, the overiding factor is the quality of the image reproduction. This V10 is fantastic. I have freesat connected and the image on all stations is the best I have seen anywhere.
    I spent ages looking at reviews on the net, visiting shops before settling on a 42" V10. The one piece of glass makes it look good even when it is switched off. The Viera cast is, I think, a bit of a waste of effort at the moment as most folk will connect a PC to browse the Internet. If there is a lan port, then I wish they would just include a browser like Firefox with the TV. Plug in a remote keyboard+mouse via usb, and job would be done!
    My only moan so far is the lack of a USB port, but I'd forgive anything for that fantastic picture.
    And the value for money is good if you shop wisely, I saved £450 over my local high street price. I would love to support my local high street, but not at that cost!
    Last thing is the eco mode. The new plasma design runs with less power than other screens, the top of the unit doesn't get too warm so it isn't so power hungry. It can also automatically dim itself to match the ambient room light level.
    Overall, V. satisfied. And I swear I don't work for Panasonic!

    superb quality 7 Sep 2009
    This is our first foray into true HD TV and after much internet searching of reviews and visits to the local eletrical superstores we settled on the Panasonic TX-P42V10B.
    What a superb piece of equipment this television is. The picture quality is absolutely first class and connected to some Logitech speakers gives a full cinema experience.
    It is relatively straightforward to set up, in fact it does the vast majority of its own setting up, you just have to work out where to plug in the necessary cables be they HDMI, aerial, optical or SCART. Once set up it is a joy to use. The remote is easy enough and controls the Video/BluRay as well (provided it is Panasonic too).

    Downside: well thus far nothing has come to light, sound and picture quality and ease of use are all excellent.
    We are very pleased with our purchase and would have no hesitation in recommending same to anyone.

    I have BT Vision piped through at 1080i upscaling and I can't fault the picture.
    I actually bought the item from an official Panasonic dealer at a premium price but got a BD60 Blu Ray thrown in plus a 5 year warranty and interest free for 12 months.

    The set is fantastic. The blacks are deep as you'd expect on a Plasma panel and the motion handling on Match of the Day is first class. I have yet to hook up a satellite dish but plan to do so.

    The colours after 6 hours are just natural ! Any doubts you have over buying this set, set to one and side and splash the cash.. You will not regret it this is a 5 star set.

    I almost purchased the Sony Z5500 which is a fantastic looking set but the colours are just not a natural... its a wow factor of LCD in the shop... but would you want to live with it... This V10 panel has a dynamic picture mode for LCD fans... it over brightens the picture and saturates the colours.... IMHO

    The THX and styling of this set makes it worth the premium... I also had a BluRay thrown in so I was always going to pay the premium for the free player...
