Panasonic's Line-Up of VIERA Flat-Panel TVs Takes a Step Forward in 2008
Superior Reproduction of Fast-Moving Images, Easy Operation and Eco-Friendliness
Panasonic recently announced the launch of its VIERA series of plasma and LCD TVs for 2008. This year's line-up of VIERA flat-panel TVs has been greatly strengthened. And the addition of full HD plasma TVs with excellent moving picture response, and a 100Hz double speed full HD LCD TV rounds out the line-up with high-quality images and extra versatility. The line-up also comes with four pillars of the VIERA concept: impressive picture quality, easy operation, brilliant sound and environmental consciousness. In addition, these superior performance features are moulded into stunning designs to form one of the most attractive TV series ever.
Impressive Picture Quality The new VIERA models reproduce fast-moving images with outstanding sharpness. Their wide-ranging colour reproduction lends rich expression to movie colours, while their high contrast ratios create deep, life-like blacks. Picture quality at this level stirs the emotions and adds to the excitement of watching athletes in heated competition, breathtaking multi-coloured sunsets, or vibrantly colourful resorts and other landscapes.
Easy Operation In addition to brilliant picture quality, VIERA models offer the easy operation made possible by VIERA Link and the SD card slot1. VIERA Link lets you operate other connected Panasonic AV components using only the VIERA TV's remote control unit. The majority of the VIERA line-up is equipped with a slot for large-capacity SDHC Cards. Remove the SD Memory Card from your digital still camera, slip it in the slot, and you can view a slideshow of your photos on VIERA's big, beautiful screen.
Environmentally Conscious Products Environmental consideration starts with the design stage, because Panasonic cares about the future of our earth. Lead-free plasma display panels and an improved panel life of up to 100,000-hours are examples of how VIERA production helps to conserve the earth and its resources. Whats more, functions now include a new ECO mode to help lower power consumption.
VIERA TV technologies bring higher levels of quality, versatility and enjoyment to home entertainment in the strongest flat-panel display line-up ever. Users will find attractive enhancements in each plasma and LCD TV offered by Panasonic in 2008. In terms of both features and performance, this impressive new line-up reflects Panasonic's quest to continually improve viewing quality, networking and environmentally conscious manufacturing.
V-real 3 and V-real PRO 3 Technology
"V-real" is the collective name for Panasonic's black-box imaging technologies, which have now evolved into the V-real 3 and V-real PRO 3 of the 2008 VIERA models. In the process, we redesigned every V-real device. We combined technologies that were originally developed to produce the HD camcorders that relay the excitement of the Olympic Games with technologies that were created by the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory (PHL) for moviemaking. Image quality was scrutinised from every angle to give VIERA its deeply moving impact.
VIERA V-real 3 /V-real PRO 3 Processor This key device processes the video signal it receives, outputting an extremely high-quality signal that helps create the beautiful, high-definition images that distinguish VIERA.
VIERA V-real 3 /V-real PRO 3 Driver Our high-performance driver controls the drive power to optimise panel performance. The resulting images show every motion clearly and express each step of gradation in delicate detail.
VIERA Plasma G11 HD/G11 Full-HD Panel The full-HD panel (1920 x 1080 resolution) directly displays the 1080p images that are processed by the video circuit to ensure highly detailed 1080p images.

IMPRESSIVE PICTURE QUALITY:
Superb Moving Picture Resolution
Excellent moving-picture resolution and smooth playback Over 900 Line Moving Picture Resolution with 480Hz Sub-filed Drive** A still image with 1080 lines resolution always looks brilliant when displayed on a large screen, but as soon as the picture starts to move, the picture resolution can decrease to a minimum of 300 lines. By using 480Hz Sub-filed Drive, VIERA PDP accomplishes over 900 lines of moving picture resolution.
*Only PY800 Series **With Intelligent Frame Creation
Images with Genuine Blacks
Clear details even in dark scenes High Contrast 1,000,000:1 (Native 30,000:1*) The new Real Black Drive system (a pre-discharge suppression system) and the improved panel production processes combine to reproduce outstanding blacks with the outstanding contrast. They accurately reproduce scenes, especially those with a delicate balance of light and shadow.

*Only PY800 Series

Glare is suppressed for comfortable viewing Anti-Reflection Filter This advanced filter keeps images sharp, with minimal glare. While dramatically reducing reflections from external light, it helps to produce clear images. This filter creates a wide range of pure colours, and crisp images.
Crisp, Clear, Real-Life Colours
Colour reproduction exceeding the HDTV standard Wide Colour Gamut Panel with x.v.Colour VIERA's large colour space covers 110% of the HDTV colour standard. This wide gamut has been achieved by an advanced panel structure and newly developed filter, and also produces richer, more vivid colouring from x.v.Colour source.
Smooth gradation lends natural expression to images 5,120 Equivalent Steps of Gradation Full 5,120 equivalent steps of gradation smoothly expresses each image. Outstanding gradation performance accurately depicts even the tiniest shades of colour in a sunset.
A Cinema-Quality Experience
Smooth Image Reproduction 24p Real Cinema** Increasing the number of frames makes the image smoother. When reproducing a 24p movie source, the 24p Real Cinema function generates smooth motion transition based on the original 24 frames. Models that do not include 24p Real Cinema are equipped with 24p Playback. The 24p Playback function provides film-like images by using pull-down with up to 96Hz.

SPECIAL LCD FEATURES Fast-action images are also smooth and clear 100Hz Motion Picture Pro Even fast-moving scenes in sports events and action movies are displayed sharply and clearly. With 50Hz video signal input, Motion Picture Pro creates 100 frames/1 sec from 50 frames/1 sec. This increases the frame count to allow natural frame-to-frame transitions, which results in smooth motion images with high resolution.
*Only LZ800, LX800 Series
Running scrolling texts appear clear Motion Focus Technology The VIERA LCD 37LZ800 also detects areas with motion and activates backlight blinking for those areas only, greatly enhancing resolution.

*Only LZ800 Series

Images are clear and crisp from any angle 178 Viewing Angle with the IPS Alpha Panel The wide 178 viewing angle ensures clear images even when viewed from an angle. The backlight's wide transmission aperture enhances the contrast between light and dark, and improves motion-image response.

ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS PRODUCTS Making products more easily recyclable Mercury and Lead-Free Plasma Display Panel Panasonic is making products more friendly to the environment. All VIERA plasma display panels are mercury and lead-free. This reduces the impact on the environment when recycling or disposing of them in the future.

*Only Plasma TV models.

Reducing Use of Lead by 280 Tons per Year
About 4 million plasma TVs were produced in 2006. While 2006 plasma display panels contained 70 grams of lead, lead-free VIERA models contain 0 grams. This could constitute a reduction of 280 tons of lead per year.
Optimal, waste-free light adjustment Eco Mode The TV adjusts the picture settings automatically depending on the ambient lighting conditions. The image brightness changes according to the level of room lighting to achieve an energy-saving operation.
Excellent picture quality for longer use Long Panel Life, Up to 100,000** Hours The VIERA plasma display panels can be used for up to 30 years or more even when viewed for 8 hours a day. Panasonic is working to maximise resources, based on the motto of developing products that maintain high quality for a long time.
Safe design VIERA TOUGH PANEL (Tentative Name) The front glass panel provides high resistance to impacts. The front of the plasma TV is covered by a glass panel, for extra assurance just in case something hits it. What's more, the protective panel makes cleaning easier too; simply wipe the panel with a soft cloth when necessary.

Comfortable viewing Gentle on the Eyes Eye fatigue is suppressed, so both children and adults can watch TV in comfort even when viewing for relatively long periods of time. In a plasma TV, each pixel lights up, and the lighting intensity is adjusted according to the scene. Because of this, the images are not overly bright.

OTHER SPECIAL FEATURES:

Picture Quality
Colour Viewing Angle Images have rich, vivid colours when viewed from any position in the room. Because plasma TVs are self-illuminating, the images are beautiful when viewed from any angle. Black areas do not fade, and colours remain almost identical regardless of where the viewer is located. Measured using the index for evaluating colour viewing angle developed by the Advanced PDP Development Center Corporation (APDC). This ensures that you will get high-quality images even in very large living rooms.
Motion Pattern Noise Reduction This function clearly reproduces even high-speed motion images by maximising the superb gradation capability of the plasma TV. Motion Pattern Noise Reduction detects motion patterns that tend to generate noise, and makes the necessary adjustments to maximise image quality.

User-Friendly Design

Three HDMI Inputs For future expandability and ease of use, VIERA comes equipped with three* HDMI connector slots, one on the front and two on the rear.
*Only PY800 , PV80, LZ800 Series.
PC Input VIERA is also equipped with a PC input terminal. For business users, the PC input lets you take advantage of VIERA's big screen and exceptional viewing quality in presentations and training programs. Remote Control The remote control unit is rounded to fit comfortably in your hand. The buttons are large, easy to press, and laid out for optimum ease of use. The buttons also have colours and markings that make them easy for anyone to identify and use.
PRODUCT DESIGN Design concept: Horizontal Arch Thin, light and wide. Based on these three key words, this design combines functional beauty with formative art to harmonise with virtually any interior space.
