Panasonic's pricey TH-65VX100E plasma reviewed, swooned over
When something costs eight thousand pounds, it simply cannot be even a hair less than phenomenal. According to a recent review of the incredibly expensive TH-65VX100E, Panasonic somehow managed to create a plasma worth that asking price. The 65-inch, 1080p set -- which was introduced across the pond late last year -- displayed "the best picture quality" critics had ever seen on a flat-panel. It also boasted "reams of features and exceptionally flexible settings." In fact, the only negative listed was that it costs more than a Renault Megane, which is pretty darn valid if you ask us. For those with the cash to spare and a hankering for big screen PDP action, it seems like this one just made the short list.
Panasonic TH-65VX100 and TH-50VX100 plasmas head to Europe
Panasonic's custom install-friendly TH-65VX100 got official back at CEDIA here in the States, but it -- along with the 50-inch TH-50VX100 -- are just now adjusting their maps for a European debut. Both sets boast 1080p panels, a Dynamic Black Layer for keeping things ultra dark and an 18-bit digital signal processor. The 65-inch TH-65VX100 (£7,999; $12,131) features a 60,000:1 contrast ratio, while the TH-50VX100 (price unknown) goes halves with a 30,000:1 CR; as for availability, you can find the big(ger) boy in January followed by the 50-incher in February.
