Panasonic’s new TH-50VX100E CI Screen is exclusively available through distributors AWE Europe.
The TH-50VX has a 40 000:1 contrast ratio, 1920 × 1080 resolution and up to 1080p inc 24 fps. The chassis has a slender black surround with gentle sculpting to provide an easy to live with structure around the massive screen. This includes a depth of only 94mm, impressive for a screen this size and means it does not intrude too much when surface mounted.
All manner of adjustments are available to enable you to precisely match the performance to the source material, playback device and installation area. Basic adjustments are available for brightness etc but there is an advanced setting that is a must for any true customisation.Settings in here for video include:-
- Black
- Gamma input level
- AGC (increases brightness of dark level)
- White balance: high+low R, G and B settings
- Cinema Reality: for 24p material
- Noise reduction settings
Panasonic TH50VX Versus Pioneer Kuro
The screen is indeed a high end peace of kit but really does give you exceptional picture quality. Set to retail for £4,000 the image you get is down to the internal scaler which does a fine job of adjusting the incoming signals to the resolution of the screen but if you wish, this can be bypassed – turned off completely – and an you can employ your choice of external scaler instead.
After making adjustments you can store the settings for later recall. There are 16 memories available to store different settings for different source material so the screen can perform to its maximum level no matter what is being shown.
Black level is very strong and colour rendition impressive. Motion is controlled by the extensive technologies used in the Panasonic TV series resulting in very smooth flowing, bright clean images. This is no ordinary screen in terms of performance, build or look. All are very impressive and it is strongly recommended you add this to your shortlist.
PC connection is available as well via a 15pin VGA socket. Accepted signals range from VGA to compressed UXGA. See below for more details.
Connectivity is a strong point with the 50VX100 as well. There are three terminal slots on the rear of the screen that can house a variety of connection plates but out of the box they are filled as follows.
