Panasonic TY-EW3D3ME 3D Glasses - Medium For VIERA Full HD TV

Product Information

From our point of view, the Panasonic TX-P42GT30B has excellent motion performance. Just remember that it is a Plasma TV, and as such, there are some Plasma-specific artefacts to be found in the picture. Viewers who think they might find these especially objectionable should ideally try to demo some fast-moving sports material (using the “THX” or “Professional” picture modes) in stores. 3D Material

The Panasonic GT30 handled motion from 3D sources correctly. On last year’s displays, we had to dig around in the menus to find the option that played 3D 24fps film material without judder. This year, the TX-P42GT30 simply displays the image with cinema-quality movement, with no adjustments necessary. By “cinema-quality”, we mean that there is no false motion being added to the picture (no “soap opera effect”) – unless the viewer wants to turn it on, that is – and also no judder beyond what you would expect with 24fps film content. No matter what “flavour” of video we threw at the display – 24p (most Blu-ray movies worldwide), 50i (European sources) or 60i (American/Japanese video camera material), the TX-P42GT30B reproduced motion correctly.Anaglyph: An anaglyph 3D image uses color to distinguish two superimposed images that your brain merges into one. This is a passive technology, meaning it requires no power to work. Anaglyph 3D glasses feature two lenses, each a different color — typically red and cyan, but there can be other color combinations. These are the least expensive 3D glasses (often the frames are cardboard), though more expensive models exist. The TXP42GT30 retains Panasonic’s signature “clean” Plasma look: the Plasma panel’s driving method results in only a very small amount of fine noise being added to the image. Oddly, we did notice that when we displayed static, single-tone test patterns, the top 100 or so lines of the GT30 displayed a higher amount of subtle noise compared to the rest of the image. We’re not sure what the cause of this is or if it affects every unit, but we mention it for completeness only (we weren’t troubled by it). Passive 3D glasses: have polarized plastic, and each eye sees its image, creating volume. By the way, this technology is used in movie theaters. Remember to turn the power off and unplug active 3D glasses for cleaning. Also, don’t use any chemicals or liquids to clean your 3D glasses. FAQ

Panasonic’s calibration menus have been improved this year. The on-screen slider control now appears fixed at the bottom of the screen, which is an improvement over last year’s models. On the 2010 displays, the on-screen graphics sometimes covered up the area of the screen that was being read, obviously skewing the measurements. Secondly, the low-end controls seem to have much more scope for adjustment this year: they are much less coarse. A. Yes. Although some individuals may experience unpleasant side effects, current studies conclude that wearing 3D glasses does not cause any permanent damage to your eyes. Even though there is no concrete evidence, some members of the medical community recommend that children younger than six not wear 3D glasses because that is a pivotal time in vision development. The end result is a highly compelling 3D experience which is certainly the best we’ve experienced at this screen size. All the same, we’re eager to see what one of Panasonic’s 50″ 2011 Plasma displays (for example the TX-P50GT30B) can do with 3D – not just because we expect it to do a slightly better job with resolution, but simply because with 3D, a bigger screen is required for the full immersive effect. Standard DefinitionNote: Our Panasonic TX-P42GT30B review sample was calibrated using Calman Professional, the industry-leading video calibration software. 2D Mode Greyscale Size: The best 3D glasses are not one size fits all. If you can find glasses that offer adult and child sizes, that is advisable. This makes a difference in terms of comfort (how tight or loose the glasses feel on your head) and the size of the lenses. If you can see around the edges of your lenses while looking straight ahead, you might not have the best 3D experience. So, although not perfect, the GT30’s SD performance is an improvement on the 2010 models. Panasonic HDTVs have already had crisp, largely ring-free scaling and smooth diagonal interpolation (jaggy concealing for SD video camera material) since 2010, and the addition of film cadence detection brings things a step closer to ideal. High Definition During the company’s London convention, we were able to speak with a Panasonic engineer regarding this mild annoyance, and from what we gather, it is the result of a motion-adaptive dithering algorithm built into the TV. Our understanding is that the TV’s video processor adds dither noise to areas of fast motion, in an attempt to conceal posterization, while keeping more sedate areas of the picture clean. The “fuzzy double images” effect occurs because the noise is only added to moving areas. As we understand it, the only alternative would be to drive the panel in a way which resulted in the entire screen being covered in a uniform amount of dither noise, which would result in a rougher-looking image (remember Pioneer’s Plasmas?), albeit without the sudden transition from smooth to rough around moving areas. Given the choice, we would probably keep things the way they are now, because there’s a lot to like about Panasonic’s (mostly) clean Plasma images.

But 3D televisions are still in use. And since TVs last longer than glasses, you may need to buy new 3D glasses to replace your broken ones. This article will help you find the suitable glasses model to ensure they work correctly with your TV. What we found pertaining to 3D resolution on the TX-P42GT30B was somewhat unusual. With static images, the TX-P42GT30 does indeed resolve all 1080 lines of vertical resolution (although we found that with some test patterns, the vertical resolution portion would still be blurred into a single grey tone – oddly, this happened with some patterns but not with others). Motion areas still appear with limited resolution, though, meaning that viewers might notice some jaggedness during movement, particularly on diagonal edges. It seems that Panasonic hasn’t yet managed to build a Plasma HDTV smaller than 50 inches that can resolve every last drop of detail from a 3D Blu-ray Disc, but they’ve disguised the limitation more effectively this year.Engaging the [Intelligent Frame Creation] system made this effect nearly non-existent. However, since this system depends on motion interpolation, it creates motion interpolation artefacts (like you’d expect to see on a 100hz/200hz LCD TV) instead, which we found more frequent and more objectionable. We left the IFC system off, and rarely had any complaints about the Panasonic TX-P42GT30’s motion rendering in real-world situations. We only noticed the noisy edges during a minority of synthetic test sequences and real world programmes. Limit your peripheral vision. Using 3D glasses that limit your field of vision may help lessen the symptoms in some individuals.
