DVD/Blu-Ray:
Connected to a Pioneer DV-610v set at 720p (Native resolution of the panel), the X20 delivered picture quality that is, in my honest opinion, on level with that of Panasonic's previous offerings like the C10 and the PV80. But on normal or bright lighting conditions, the X20 may seem more subdued over the PV80 thanks to a very reflective screen. The plus factor of a reflective screen though, is the fact that there is an illusion of glossiness, this now becomes a matter of subjective tastes for the individual.
On blu-ray, we saw how Panasonic continues to stun us with detailed pictures backed by solid black levels. Panasonic seems to have mastered the 720p arena, that despite the X20 being merely an HD-Ready unit, it's great rendition of color will give you a reason to jump over to the HD bandwagon, even though it's just the HD-Ready side of the moving cart. Please remember to set this buggy up in a very controlled lighting environment.
More soon.
