Επειδή το νήμα του 2012 αργεί ακόμα, βάζω εδώ λίγες πληροφορίες για το νέο SoC που θα χρησιμοποιείται στα νέα μοντέλα της εταίριας:

Panasonic announced a system on chip (SoC) for the smart TV market that combines dual, 1.4GHz ARM Cortex-A9 cores with its own UniPhier media processor. The UniPhier MN2WS0220 is claimed to enable the display of two broadcast channels simultaneously with a third Internet stream, as well as reducing power consumption compared to previous UniPhier offerings.

The dual-core, 1.4GHz UniPhier MN2WS0220 SoC "will open the way for a new generation of smart TVs that allow users to simultaneously enjoy two TV broadcasting channels, as well as Internet-based content and applications in high-resolution at the same time," says Panasonic. Presumably the first TVs to use the SoC will be built by Panasonic itself for sale under its various brands.
The MN2WS0220 is touted as seamlessly integrating graphics and HD video. The SoC can also reduce power consumption in smart TVs (also known as IPTVs) by reducing the number of components, says Panasonic. The SoC uses up to 40 percent less electricity than previous-generation UniPhier SoCs, claims the company.
The new MN2WS0220 SoC, or LSI (large scale integration), as Panasonic dubs it, combines two 1.4GHz Cortex-A9 cores with the latest version of its UniPhier media processors, which are primarily used in Panasonic TVs and Blu-ray devices, but can also be found in mobile devices and other equipment. The UniPhier processor integrates video and audio codecs with TV signal processing, says the company. UniPhier also defines an integrated platform for sharing media and information across different UniPhier-based devices.
Panasonic offered relatively few details on the processor except to say that it adopts a new architecture that integrates the UniPhier processor with the Cortex-A9 cores, as well as a "high-performance 3D graphics circuit." Also included is an allotment of high-capacity cache memory, says Panasonic. The architecture enables parallel, simultaneous operation of all these components, says the company.

Panasonic DT30 review

After calibration I measured black level to 0.27 cd/m2, which is, at best,unimpressive. 0.27 cd/m2 black depth is nowhere near those inky black level found on Panasonic’s plasma TVs such as Panasonic GT30 or Panasonic VT30. It is also much worse than on competing Edge LED based TVs such as Samsung D8000, Sony EX720 and Sharp LE830.

We did not expect Panasonic DT30 to perform in this area based on the fact that it uses an IPS panel but we did not expect such subpar results either. Another TV using an IPS panel is LG’s Cinema 3D LW6500 model but LG’s model reproduced 0.08 cd/m2 black depth.

Yπάρχει μία φημολογία, πως τα μοντέλα 3D του 2012 της εταιρείας, θα υποστηρίζουν και σήματα 1080@48p και 1080@60p σε τρισδιάστατη λειτουργία.

Μένει να δούμε αν η φήμη θα επιβεβαιωθεί ή διαψευστεί...

Μα γιατί το λες αυτό; :flipout: Βάσει των έγκριτων πιστοποιημένων reviewers του AVForums, η KURO μετράει μόλις 0,03 nits μαύρο... Η U20 σου, φρέσκια, μετρούσε πιο χαμηλό... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Panasonic TX-P42S30 Plasma TV Review

tx-p42s30b.jpg


After spending an unhealthy amount of time with the 2010 and 2011 Panasonic Plasma displays, we had a fairly good idea of how the TX-P42S30 was going to perform before we put it through our tests. The only sore points we found were its slightly cheap-looking design, and the predictable lack of effective screen filter, meaning that the Panasonic TX-P42S30B won’t produce rich, punchy images when faced with sunlight or strong artificial lighting. In these conditions, we’d encourage readers to look at LCD and LED LCD TVs instead, although this does mean giving up Plasma’s usually perfect screen uniformity, high motion clarity, and lack of viewing angle restrictions, all of which make the Panasonic S30 special amongst budget HDTVs. Lastly, like the rest of the 2011 Panasonic Plasmas, the TX-P42S30 sometimes reveals a little too much shadow detail (see the Gamma charts in the Calibration section), although this is the sort of error you’d need a perfect comparison display to pinpoint.

If you watch TV in dim conditions (or better yet, in a darkened home cinema room), then the TX-P42S30B is a bargain. In ideal conditions, it produces essentially the same contrast performance as considerably more expensive Plasmas, and the barely perceptible colour inaccuracies that result from the omission of calibration options are forgivable when you remember that the 42″ version can be had online for just £450. It also handles video games wonderfully, being the only Full HD flat-panel television in this price range that can deliver the winning combination of high motion clarity and high responsiveness simultaneously (on LCD, you can pick one or the other, but not both). It’s a fairly cheap HDTV that we feel has no serious flaws: nearly every quality that has made the 2011 Panasonic Plasma range so recommendable can still be found here, despite the budget price tag. As a result, it comes highly recommended.
