It is an astonishing fact that the entire top of the range 2013 panasonic Led TV has been seriously compromised using poorly implemented IPS panels.
But one range stands out the TXL50e6b.This baby uses a super MVA panel....similar variant as used in the Sony W905a...and AVforum gave it an Excellent rating for contrast and blackness.Infact this 42 inch 999 pounds TV had a score sheet better than a Sony hx853tv on 2D?? I was shocked and on some diamensions of picture scoring for the panasonic TV,it was approaching 'Reference' territory. Like the Sony W905a it also had a restricted viewing angle....a known trade off...the headline story here is that the Panasonic budget TV makes a mockery of its more expensive higher up models.....this is embarrassing for Panasonic.
Beware of IPS sourced TV panels....Samsung and Sony(not any more) does not use them.They really cannot deliver reference levels blacks and contrast needed for serious Bluray viewing but only give you wider viewing angle.They are very popular for PC/MAC desktop monitor applicaion uses;but it is useless ammunition against plasma panels.A chronic archillies heel for LEDs that needs to end....if Leds are to advance.
Next time any one goes negative on a Tv's use of a panel with tigher viewing angle....think about the Pansonic 2013 Led TV range...a lesson not to be repeated.....Of course Panasonic will blame blame IPS panels they buy from - LG...... It explains why Pansonic never liked big screen LED based TVs and that Plasma panels is the way forward.
.I would never buy a top of the range LED from Panasonic till they switch to better sourced panels - samsung's proprietary Super PVA or Optronics Advance MVA panel..If black levels and contrast is the ultimate benchmark of a TV then beware of the IPS panel variant used......
