Sub-field Drive Technology
Thanks to the improved 600Hz Sub-field Drive technology, viewers can enjoy the clearest, sharpest fast-moving images in Full High Definition. The new NeoPDP VIErA Plasma models all incorporate a dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000+:1 that delivers rich, deep blacks for superior image quality.
Ultra-thin
Panasonic's range includes its first 1-inch ultra-thin and 2-inch super thin Plasma TVs, as well as Panasonic's first Wireless 1080p HD Plasma in its Premium Full HD range. Panasonic's V10 and Z1 Series Premium Full HD Plasma models are also the first to meet the strict standards for THX certification.*
New Screen Size
The 2009 Plasma family debuts a new screen size (54-inch), and features a range of HD and Full HD models, offering consumers more choice and greater operation ease than ever before. Across the range Panasonic has incorporated improved connectivity features, such as VIErA Image Viewer, making it possible to view AVCHD movie footage directly from an SD memory card, or turn your HDTV into a giant digital photo frame and view JPEG images from your camera, via the TV's SD card slot. Intuitive VIErA Link allows for easy-to-use and convenient single remote control operation of multiple Panasonic AV devices via HDMI.
Superior Quality and Connectivity
Panasonic's commitment to superior quality and connectivity continues to distinguish the VIErA range in 2009," said Paul Reid, Director- Consumer Electronics Group, Panasonic Australia. "Panasonic is thriving and maintains a strong market lead in Plasma, and will continue to revolutionise this technology in 2009 to bring even greater benefits to consumers."
Eco PDP Range with Improved Energy Efficiency
Panasonic debuts its Eco PDP range - designed with a focus on high image quality and energy-efficiency. All Panasonic's 2009 VIErA Plasma HDTVs have improved energy efficiency and carry a new energy star rating label as part of the voluntary labelling scheme. Each panel has been designed with a long lifetime of up to 100,000 hours. Intelligent power saving features such as Standby Power Save mode assist to reduce the energy consumption of the TV when not in use. All Panasonic Plasma TVs are lead and mercury free.
Panasonic has launched its Energy Wise website www.energy-wise.com.au with information about the energy star ratings of each Panasonic VIErA model, and an easy-to-use calculator that allows consumers to determine the running costs for their household.
"Consumers can be confident that they are making an environmentally responsible choice when purchasing a Panasonic Plasma TV," stated Mr Reid.
All 2009 VIErA Plasma models are equipped with an integrated High Definition Digital Tuner, so consumers can enjoy all the free-to-air digital channels including High Definition broadcasts. This means that Panasonic VIErA TVs are future-proof and ready for the digital switchover.
