Panasonic TX-P46ST30E Test: New Plasma 3D-TV Features

Panasonic TX-P46ST30E test was the first representative of the best 3D Panasonic Plasma TV series, the ST30 is used. For less than 1000 € with the device not only brings the latest panel technology neoplasm, but the Infinite Black Pro system. In order to offer affordable price, Sony has had to over the VT30 and GT30 models sacrifice some features. Is conspicuous, the color and gamma-management at the Panasonic TX-P46ST30E test barely noticeable presence. But it will probably interfere only true enthusiasts. For the average user of the 3D TV had to offer for other benefits. So did the equipment at the Panasonic TX-P46ST30E test a good impression on the upscaling of images in standard resolution. The presentation of these images was not quite as sharp as with the latest televisions from Samsung, but the noise was well suppressed, and of course the low-resolution images also benefited from the strengths of the other device, such as neoplasm of the new technology.

Creating a Panasonic 3-D glasses, which unfortunately is not included in the package is still too uncomfortable, because it is simply too narrow. But once the glasses sitting in front of the eyes, this can eliminate virtually crosstalk-free 3D images to enjoy. As the eyes of the viewer no longer have to try to compensate for the misalignment by ghosting, of TV entertainment in 3D is now much less tiring and distracting. In addition, the viewer is easier to appreciate the different strengths, which come with this 3D TV in comparison to the devices of the previous year.

These improvements are mainly due to the increased brightness of the new technology, "neoplasm" due.

When the test showed the 3D TV only in the most difficult scenes some cross-talk and for some reason the 3D images appear to have somewhat less clarity than the GT30 and the VT30 models. But compared with the rest of the world remain the 3D performance of the instrument impressive. But it is important to emphasize that the images of P46ST30E are not perfect. The Panasonic TX-P46ST30E test could be established that the brightness of some "jumps". This was apparently due to the fact that the screen respond to small changes in image content with a change in the gamma value for the entire image. In addition to show signs of skin color in motion picture noise, especially at the highest brightness settings. And as usual, Panasonic plasma TVs, make the best settings for color, contrast and noise reduction, the images appear less bright than that of a typical LCD / LED TVs. This is potentially a problem for users who have relatively much ambient light in their living room.
