Black Level:
The result: 0.009 cd/m2, which is exactly the same measurement we received from the top-end VT20 display we reviewed last month.
Confermano quindi che il V20 è praticamente un VT senza il 3D.
We also checked the Panasonic TX-P42V20 for any sign of the “floating blacks” [..] During our tests, the Panasonic TX-P42V20B’s black level remained stable at all times, indicating that it appears to be free from this mild annoyance.
Caspita io li vedo, come mai?
Rising Blacks (inalzamento dei neri):
the 2009 model Panasonic displays [..] their picture quality deteriorating slightly after a few hundred hours of usage. Fortunately, better things have been promised for the 2010 models, and at this time, there is no coherent data suggesting that the same fate will fall on these displays. As with the VT20, Panasonic have used the term “Infinite Black Pro” to market the TX-P42V20, meaning that retailers couldn’t possibly expect customers to tolerate a black level quality decrease, should problems arise later.

High Definition
HD material looked wonderful on the Panasonic TX-P42V20. [..] one of the best High Definition experiences out of any HDTV currently on sale. We checked out Optimum Releasing’s excellent UK Blu-ray Disc of “The Hurt Locker”, which features an excellent AVC/MPEG-4 encode of some ultra-crisp, filmic source material, and were delighted with the image quality in both the [THX] and our calibrated [Professional1] picture modes on the Panasonic TX-P42V20.
Conclusion:
The only question left is whether or not the TX-P42V20 is worth the extra money over Panasonic’s already-excellent TX-P42G20[..]:
- in a light-filled environment, then the answer is yes, because the TX-P42V20’s ambient light filter helps prevent the picture becoming washed out when faced with stray light.
- Dark-room performance is improved over the G20 too, measuring at just under 0.01 cd/m2 compared to the G20’s 0.02 cd/m2, although this improvement, whilst remarkable, is less noticeable.
[..] the Panasonic TX-P42V20B is one of the best HDTVs on sale today, and indeed, one of the best Panasonic has ever produced.

Ecco perchè hanno aspettato a far uscire il V20, rispetto al VT.
