The Panasonic TXP42GT20 adds 3D compatibility to Panasonic's mightily impressive VIERA NeoPDP plasma screen.



If you want an image with true depth, then you can't beat a 3D TV. It's not just the projection from the TV but the ability for the TV to give the impression of images behind the TV that really impresses. Thanks to Panasonic's Vreal Pro5 3D chipset, this is one of the most effective 3D TVs in its class. Once you've experienced the involvement of a 3D film, you'll find 2D decidedly, well, two-dimensional! In order for you to get the most out of this Panasonic 3D plasma TV, they've also fitted a 2D - 3D convertor.



Yet the Panasonic TXP42GT20 isn't just about being one of the sharpest 3D TVs to date, it's also about viewing pleasure; whatever the dimension. Panasonic have combined 600Hz Sub-field Drive technology with their own image-analysis technology to create super-smooth images, whatever the format. With an amazing contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 and a new filter system, the VIERA TXP42GT20 gives inky deep blacks and truer realism than ever before at this level. If you need further assurance that the TXP42GT20 has one of the very best video performances in its class you need look no further than the THX certification. THX are a separate body, connected to Lucas films, who test and monitor video and audio performance. Simply put, in order for a TV to be THX certified, the performance has to be exceptionally good in a whole raft of areas. The Panasonic TX-P42GT20 is just such a TV.



As TVs become ever thinner, so the sound quality suffers. With a TV such as this, you really need a separate sound system for an audio performance to match the picture. As standard this latest Panasonic Viera comes with the all important digital optical output. Should you use the onboard audio system, V-Audio Surround and 2 x 10 watt speakers are on hand to deliver crisp sound quality.



Offering both freesat HD and the new Freeview HD, the TXP42GT20 has all you need for HD TV. Simply connect a satellite dish for a wide range of freesat HD channels and/or connect a digital TV compatible aerial for Freeview and Freeview HD (coverage dependant). As TVs continue to embrace the latest technologies, you'll be pleased to find the TXP42GT20 comes equipped with VIERA CAST. Simply connect the TV to your home network hub and you can enjoy access to Internet applications such as Skype TM and Twitter. A useful feature that's been almost unique to Panasonic over the years has been the addition of an SD memory card reader. This lets you plug in an SD card from your digital media device and easily view your digital photos or full-HD videos on TV.



As a technological tour de force with the results to match, the Panasonic TXP42GT20 doesn't disappoint.
