In fact, we think this TV's performance is up there with that of some of the best 3D plasmas. We really were hard-pressed to notice any crosstalk. The good news is that all these innovations really do shine through in this set's 3D performance. This TV also has 400Hz processing, which comes courtesy of a 200Hz refresh rate that works in conjunction with a scanning backlight. The upshot of all this is that Panasonic believes it's increased the response time by around 50 per cent. To achieve this, Panasonic has had to push the LED backlight closer to the panel surface and also use a new type of liquid crystal that's more fluid than before. This set uses a redesigned IPS-Alpha panel that has been tweaked to provide a much faster response time than previous panels. The advances Panasonic has made in this area centre around the panel. The big selling point of this TV is its 3D capability, which also accounts for its relatively high price tag.
All told, it's one of the better-sounding LED models we've come across. Dialogue in movies and TV dramas is also firmly embedded into the mix, while action movies still manage to sound suitably bombastic. If you tweak the audio appropriately using the set's graphic equaliser, the TV will deliver full-bodied bass that adds extra kick to music channels like 4Music. The TV will happily stream these digital media files across a network via its Ethernet port too, and we had no problem getting it to work with the Universal Plug and Play server built into our Iomega network-attached storage drive.Īudio quality is better than you'd expect for such a slim set. Along with the usual JPEG picture and MP3 music formats, it also works with Xvid files and even high-definition MKV videos. The TV also supports playback of media files from hard drives or memory keys plugged into the other two ports. Although the set has two tuners, you can only record from one channel at a time, and you can't record one channel while watching another, as you can with twin-tuner PVRs. Shows can be recorded either by hitting the record button on the remote as you're watching a channel, or setting up a timed recording via the EPG. If you connect a hard drive to the USB port marked with the HDD symbol, you can record shows from the Freeview HD or freesat HD tuners directly to disk. The idea behind the three USB ports is that you can have a hard drive connected to one, an optional wireless adaptor plugged into another, and keep the third port free for hooking up USB keys every now and again. The set has three USB ports, as well as an Ethernet jack and an SD card slot. The TX-元7DT30B is no slouch when it comes to digital-media playback and Internet features. The EPG has space for Web-style adverts on the left-hand side.
