Rave Review of Panasonic's new DMR-EX78 DVD

You cannot go wrong with this new Panasonic's DMR-EX78 DVD according to review on whathifi.com.

EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: Panasonic's new DMR-EX78 DVD and 250GB hard-disk recorder tested Verdict You can get slightly cheaper DVD recorders, and you can get some with even larger hard disks, but this Panasonic offers a near-perfect blend of flexibility and value What with all the fuss surrounding hard-disk PVRs and Blu-ray disc players, a new DVD recorder might not seem the most exciting newcomer of 2008 - but in many ways, Panasonic's DMR-EX78 is actually one of the best buys we've come across so far this year. 1080p video upscaling Once installed – the work of moments – the DMR-EX78's image quality quickly astounds. It's equipped with an HDMI video output, as you'd hope, coupled to 1080p video upscaling if needed, and that, plus its excellent TV tuner, means broadcast pictures are simply terrific. The Panasonic gives you 250GB of inbuilt storage space, enough to offer 55 hours of recording in best-quality XP mode, 110 hours in SP mode, 221 hours in LP mode and 441 hours in EP mode.

Are You Making the Switch to HD TV?

HD TV is about a 3 times improvement on DVD picture quality!

Is it worth switching to HDTV? By Colin Clements TO HD or not to HD. That is the question that’s been facing Australian consumers since the Seven Network stole a march on its competitors by launching Australia’s first high-definition (HD) multi-channel in October last year. But while that may be the case, the majority of Australians won’t experience it, with recent figures suggesting just over 30 per cent of Australian homes have a HDTV set. What you're missing HD works by using more pixels to deliver a higher quality picture than standard-definition (SD) television. It means sharper images, finer details and more colours. But to enjoy the full visual benefits of HD (around three times better picture quality than DVD), you’ll need an LCD or plasma television with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

Panasonic's Quality No Frills DMR-EX768 Recorder

Great review of Panasonic's DMR-EX768 DVD/HDD Recorder, although lacking the frills of their top end offering this is an excellent easy to use machine. Please click through to read the ful review.

Panasonic DMR-EX768 DVD/HDD Recorder The DMR-EX768 is another model from Panasonic's latest line-up of digital recorders, which in our opinion is the company's strongest ever. We recently tested the DMR-EX78 and were hit for six by its combination of convenient features, magnificent picture quality and ease of use, and the DMR-EX768 seemingly offers more of the same but at a lower price. Of greatest interest is the deck's extensive digital TV functionality. The built-in digital tuner offers the full Freeview channel line-up, which can be recorded directly onto the hard-disk or DVD. You can browse the TV schedules up to seven days in advance using the Guide Plus EPG, which lets you set timer recordings at the touch of a button. But the best thing about Panasonic's latest recorders is that they're all Freeview Playback compatible and therefore support series recording and split recording.

Review of Panasonic's TH42PX80 42 Inch Plasma

Good review of Panasonics excellent value Plasma, well worth a look at if you cannot afford their full HD models.

clipped from www.hdtvorg.co.uk Panasonic TH42PX80 Review With the PX80 Panasonic have managed to retain a conservatism that most consumers will be happy with while introducing some simple but effective stylistic changes. A subtle upward curve at the base of the screen is a nice touch along with a wedge shaped pedestal which really does make this panel stand out from the crowd. The PX80 features 3 HDMI inputs (one more than the PX70) a PC/vga input along with 2 Scarts and the usual Composite, Component and S-Video inputs. Unlike the PX70 it also features 100Hz processing. Contrast ratio is up from a quoted 10,000:1 to 15:000:1 resolution. There is also an SD card slot. With the TH42PX80 Panasonic have maintained and enhanced their reputation for producing plasmas with excellent black levels. Improving on an already excellent black level performance over its predecessor the PX70, the PX80 while not quite reaching the standards set by Pioneer's Kuro range has done enough to cause some worried backward glances.

Review: Panasonic's Compact 37 Inch TH-37PX80

Quoting the reviewer "possibly the best value plasma package at the time of writing"

clipped from www.hdtvorg.co.uk Panasonic TH37PX80 Review First impressions indicate a more refined appearance for Panasonic's TH-37PX80. The build quality of this unit in particular, is markedly improved over its predecessor, the TH-37PX70. Connectivity on the PX80 has been improved with an extra HDMI input, taking the total to 3. There is also a PC/vga input along with 2 Scarts and the usual Composite, Component and S-Video inputs. Unusual for an entry level panel, there is also an SD card slot which can, amongst other things, display your JPEG photos. As expected motion handling is one of the TH37PX80s strengths, with no evidence of smearing at anytime, even with the quickest movie action sequences or sporting action. Although we don't feel that improvements in this area from the PX70 are huge, general reduction of general 'noise' contributes to a more refined performance in this respect.

Review: LG's 50PC55 50 Inch Plasma

Looking for an alternative to Panasonic or Sony's offerings? then LG may be the one to go for!

clipped from www.hdtvorg.co.uk LG 50PC55 Review LG have realised that style sells and have employed an Italian design studio to improve on the rather clunky look of LG's of the past. With its piano black minimalist look complemented by a stand in the same style, the 50PC55 looks like it could actually claw back sales that were lost as a result of previous models rather 'clunky' style. The finishing slim silver strip which separates the screen frame from the full length horizontal speaker at the units base completes a rather chic piece of kit that won't look out of place even in the most fashion conscious of households. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the LG 50PC55's performance considering its budget status is its black level ability. It can't match the benchmark 'Kuro' screens from Pioneer, but nevertheless puts in a wholly convincing performance that is the equal of most LCD TV's. Darker scenes look genuinely black, and only reveal a certain amount of greyness on closer inspection.

Latest Review of the 42 Inch LG's 42LG70YD

If you are viewing from a blu-ray source then this tv is described as "awesome" by the reviewer.

clipped from www.gizmodo.com.au Review: LG's 42LG70YD 42-Inch LCD TV If I were to try and sum up the LG 42LG70YD LCD TV in one word, I'd be torn between choosing either the word "average" or the word "awesome". Which one describes the TV best really depends on the quality of the content you're feeding it... That statement is true of any TV, of course, but with the 42LG70YD, it's even more pertinent. Watching the SD digital channels through the built-in HD tuner isn't a pleasant experience. You can see the grain in the footage, motion staggers across the screen and any writing that happens to be on the display is jagged like the teeth of a mountain range. One other thing that bugged, although it wasn't the fault of LG, was the EPG - it took forever to update with current information - I gave up after five minutes waiting to find what was on Channel 7's HD channel. The FTA channels really need to sort that out.

Review: Panasonic DMC-FX100 Digital Camera

In depth review of this 12 mega-pixel camera from Panasonic, click through to read the whole article

clipped from www.ephotozine.com Panasonic DMC-FX100 reviewed Digital Camera Review The headlines features of the FX100 are pretty impressive. You've got a whopping 12Mp resolution, a very handy 28mm wide angle lens, and a large 2.5in. screen on the back. And all crushed into a camera the size of a mobile phone. If only it could make the tea as well. The FX100 has a kind of Canon Ixus appeal to it, with the gun-metal grey barrel and it's one of Panasonic's nicest looking cameras with a large 2.5in. LCD and very flashy looking buttons on the back. On top of the good looks then, it packs 12Mp resolution inside and this can give some very detailed images. With good focussing and metering, plus easy-to-hand exposure compensation and scene modes, it's possible to get some very nice, detailed images.

Review Of Panasonic DMR-EX95 Top Rated DVD/VCR Combo

This top rated DVD/VCR combo will probably do everything you could possibly wish with a few minor exceptions

clipped from www.techradar.com Panasonic DMR-EX95 A triumphant combi with a 250GB hard drive It has a 250GB hard drive, a DVD recorder, VHS VCR and even an SD card slot. Connectivity is superb, including an HDMI output capable of upgrading standard signals to 720p or 1080i levels. There is also a progressive scan-capable component video output, a pair of Scarts (both RGB) and a smattering of lower quality backups. At the front there is a DV input for camcorder enthusiasts. The most important element of this unit's performance is the digital recording. In the two-hour setting, the picture is just about indistinguishable from the original broadcast, and this means that most sporting events and movies can be recorded on to a single DVD. It all adds up to a hugely powerful deck, and one that only misses out on perfection by a couple of niggling omissions. For many people, this will be a combi that simply does everything they could ever need.
