Best Panasonic TVs of 2020

Japanese brand of household appliances and electronicsPanasonic provides a selection of state-of-the-art TVs that meet the latest technology in screen resolution and color reproduction. In 2020, exhibitions of technical products of this company confirm the prospect of the final departure of plasma TVs, which will be replaced by the best image with the most realistic screen picture from OLED matrix.

How not to miscalculate with the choice of TV

The thickness of the TV, the size of the diagonal and the shape of the screen are the main characteristics when choosing equipment for a home, a summer residence or an office, it is equally important to find the optimal ratio of price and quality of the product.

Before buying, you should correctly calculate the required screen size and the method of its installation in the room, since too large a size in a small space is a mistake not only reducing the perception of the image, but also fundamentally spoiling the vision.

The curved shape of the TV screen allows you to watch programs from any angle, makes the picture more realistic and also looks unusual in the interior, but in practice this shape is not always convenient, since there are difficulties with the selection of a bracket for fixing the equipment to the wall.

For a standard apartment, a screen with a diagonal of 40 to 60 inches is usually chosen, when the area of ​​the room allows you to organize the distance between the viewer and the monitor at least three meters.

New in screen resolution

Large, wall-to-wall TVs owe their appearance to a FullHD monitor resolution, as the number of pixels 1920 x 1080 is acceptable for stretching to a wide screen so that so-called dots are not noticeable. Most of the video materials and media are fully consistent with this quality of resolution.

The number of pixels invariably affects the quality of image perception, therefore, the more, the better, the manufacturers of Panasonic TVs decided and released on the market new generation screens with a resolution of 3840 by 2160 pixels, which are called 4K or UltraHD. The picture of such screens is so real and transfers all colors and colors without distortion that it becomes clear that UltraHD TVs will firmly and permanently settle on store shelves and, of course, in the homes of lovers of high-quality expensive equipment.

When it comes to the fancy shape of the TV, there is no need to chase fashion, but in the case of HD technologies, it makes sense to pay attention to new items, since equipment for filming movies and video will also move to 4K over time, and FullHD will become an obsolete option, as for example, now a plasma screen.

A TV is usually bought for many years, so if the buyer's budget allows, and there is a desire to have a screen wider than 42 inches in the house, it is better to buy a modern TV with UltraHD resolution. With a limited budget or buying a TV for the kitchen or summer cottage, it makes no sense to take Ultra, for a small TV FullHD quality will be enough.

How to decipher the TV series number

Panasonic is not particularly specialized in the production of TV models with support for 3D images, curved screens of this brand are also difficult to find.The main emphasis now is on minimizing the thickness of the TV case and achieving a picture like in life, so that the viewer is interested in looking even at the image of water transmitted through the screen.

In the name of the TV model, you can find indications of the type of LED matrix for early TVs and OLED for the next generation TV format. It is the OLED matrix that makes it possible to create a thin TV case, since it does not need additional built-in backlighting, since the matrix already consists of carbon LEDs.

The TV model number consists of a set of letters and numbers, the first two letters, as a rule, indicate the type of technology to which the device belongs, such as a TV. Next, after the dash, the TV size designation follows in inches and the letter corresponding to the year of manufacture A, C, D, E or F. The presence of OLED screen technology compliance is indicated by the letter Z.

Panasonic supplies its products to Russia, Europe, America and the CIS countries. You can understand that these products are made for sale in Russia by the R marking in front of the TV series and model number.
