Riassumo i punti salienti del test
- The THX mode provides me with an excellent result, which is also significantly better than on the V10 from 2009.
- In THX mode...deviates of colour only by 0.05. (da 0 a 1 è raramente visibile la differenza)
-significant changes compared to G10 is the reduction in reflections on the panel.
- SD (Standard Definition) is quite good on the G20 and I see some improvements compared to G10.It’s not a revolution but the new imaging chip in G20 does a better job at de-interlacing and scaling, in order to improve detailing.
-HDTV is simply beautiful.
-G20 has a new and improved version of the Intelligent Frame Creation (IFC) system
This year IFC has been improved and even though artifacts and noise has not been eliminated the system does a better job at improving picture quality, and on G20 the actually has its entitlement.
-Color reproduction and accuracy on G20 is good but not perfect. (Dithering)
- You can also experience some shading issues with some colors on G20 (banding-like phenomenon) but again, it’s not much different from the G10 – but inferior to the KURO reference.
- Phosphor trailing has not been eliminated on G20 either (Green Ghosting)
Supposedly only the VT20 series will feature the new phosphor structure from Panasonic that should reduce phosphor trailing significantly.
After Calibration
Black level 0,04 cd/m2
Brightness 86 cd/m2
Contrast ratio 2150:1
- Black Level: I suppose that the significant improvement (the improvement which I saw in Munich) will be exclusive to the V20 series and VT20 series with Infinite Black PRO panels.
-Shadow detail is very impressive on G20 and especially in the THX mode you can virtually distinguish all shades of gray providing you with excellent detail in dark movie scenes.
- G20 has no clouding issues.
