Summary
The Panasonic P50GT60 eschews unnecessary glamour for a timeless minimalist elegance, which suits us as we’ve always been fans of the ‛less is more’ mantra. The screen is surrounded by a simple black bezel with a silver trim on the outside and the whole panel sits on an attractive brushed metal stand. Around the back is a decent set of connections, even if there are only three HDMI inputs and they are far too close to the edge. The P50GT60 comes with the familiar glossy remote, two pairs of 3D glasses and a Touchpen - although if you let your kids near the screen with it, you need your head examined!
The P50GT60 uses the latest iteration of Panasonic’s menu system and, as always, it’s well laid out, intuitive and easy to navigate. There are a bewildering array of new picture controls, most of which are best left off, but we Europeans finally get a panel brightness feature which is good news. There is also a new Custom mode as well as all the usual calibration controls, including a ten-point white balance and a full colour management system. The new My Home Screen smart platform is excellent, with loads of apps, a web browser, extensive media support and a superb remote app for iOS and Androis. The new Swipe & Share 2.0 is very effective and the Smart Calibration feature is an absolute boon for calibrators.
The out-of-the-box performance is reasonable but thanks to the excellent calibration controls the P50GT60 is capable of a reference greyscale and colour gamut performance. The video processing is also excellent meaning that even standard definition content will look good and, as always, motion handling is sublime. The black levels were absolutely incredible on the P50GT60 and the brightness is far better than last year, resulting in a stunning dynamic range. All of this combines to deliver some of the best 2D and 3D images we have seen to date and aside from some occasional dynamic false contouring, we really could find nothing else on which to fault the P50GT60.
Well all we can say is that if these really are plasma’s last days then it’s going out with a bang! The Panasonic P50GT60 delivers the kind of stunning image quality that reminds us just why we love this particular television technology so much. Plasma remains the preeminent display technology and, until OLED is ready for primetime, nothing else comes close. Panasonic promised us a classy all-rounder and that’s what they’ve delivered, from its design to its features to its performance to its price, the P50GT60 doesn’t put a foot wrong - Best Buy!
