Panasonic’s Viera TC-P50VT25 quickly demanded our attention with incredibly crisp, detailed images. In fact, to a person, the TC-P50VT25 wowed every member of our editorial team, and that was just in 2D picture quality when we turned on the TV for the first time. Later, in side-by-side comparisons, the Panasonic easily bested the Samsung PN50C800 we reviewed alongside it, producing a remarkably detailed, clean image with visibly greater color range in shadow and highlight content, and impressively deep blacks. Who knows, maybe we can give credit to Panasonic’s “Infinite Black Panel Pro” technology, which supposedly makes improvements to the pre-discharge state of plasma cells to reduce the graying of what should otherwise be pure blacks.
