Product Information

Thanks to Panasonic's 3D Technology, the viewing experience has never been so lifelike and compelling. The fast switching phosphors used in the Neo Plasma panels and an original light-emitting process minimise crosstalk (double images) to deliver clear 3D images and ensure comfortable viewing. This technology even helps to improve 2D picture quality too.

The 600Hz Sub-field Drive in this VIERA plasma teams up with Intelligent Frame Creation Pro technology to deliver smooth, fluid, on-screen motion. By using an intelligent algorithm within the picture processing based on motion detection, the best combination of frames is created to deliver ultra crisp sports, film and game action. Contrast in brightly lit locations has also been improved. Enhancements to the panel and filter help reproduce images with smooth, natural gradation and deep, rich blacks. In movies, true, deep blacks faithfully convey the intent of the filmmaker, adding power and realism to the viewing experience.

VIERA Connect allows users to enjoy video and music, sports, games, and a variety of other content in addition to the standard movies and TV programmes on a high-quality large-screen TV through the simple operation of a remote control. The cloud-based Internet service also supports interactive services using applicable equipment as well as an Internet-based shopping function that allows such equipment to be purchased straight from the TV. Simply connect your TV’s supplied dongle to your home network and you’re away.

You can easily record your favourite TV programmes, films and other content onto an external USB hard disk drive and an SD Card. Recordings can be controlled using VIERA's remote control. And the USB HDD recording lets you rewind live TV programmes to catch the scenes you want to see, so you won't miss important moments.

Sound Bars

With TVs getting slimmer and built-in speakers getting smaller - choosing the right sound system is more important than ever. Sound bars add that extra audio punch to all your movies, games and TV programmes. More affordable and easier to set up than a full size speaker system, they don’t compromise on quality either.
