Neo PDP Panel for Lower Power Consumption
New materials and processes; discharge gas and cell design; and circuit and drive technology, these are the combination that makes the NeoPDP an entirely new kind of plasma display. Boasting twice the luminous efficiency of previous displays, the NeoPDP reduces power consumption while offering exciting new possibilities in image quality.

600Hz Sub-Field Drive for better fast moving action
600Hz technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images with 1080 lines of resolution. For even greater clarity with motion images, Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology. This technology converts the motion in each scene into data, then optimises the frame to display fast-action scenes in full-HD resolution. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce aftereffects.

Infinite Black (more than 2.000.000 : 1 contrast)
VIERA incorporates an improved panel production process and the new Real Black Drive system. A pre-discharge control system, the Real Black Drive system combines with NeoPDP technology to achieve next-generation black reproduction. When you're watching movies, VIERA renders images just the way the director intended, even in scenes where it's difficult to achieve a proper balance of light and dark.

Smart Networking with VIERA Link
VIERA Link allows interconnected operation of various AV devices using only the VIERA remote control, by simply connecting the devices to each other by an HDMI cable. VIERA Link performance has been further enhanced with LUMIX digital camera connection. By connecting a new LUMIX camera that has an HDMI output terminal to VIERA, you can use the VIERA remote to control the playback of images stored on the camera.

VIERA Image Viewer (AVCHD/MPEG2/JPEG)
It's easy to view full-HD images with the SD card slot. Watch and show your photos and motion images right after you take them. Simply insert an SD Memory Card into VIERA to display photos and full-HD videos on the large screen. You can also choose from among 3 types of background music and 4 display effects.

100.000 hours panel life
These TVs can be used for over 30 years. Using high-quality products longer, and taking care of them, is the first step to enviromental conservation.
A newly designed phosphor process and rear panel process give the plasma panel a longevity of 100,000 hours. This is more than 30 years of viewing when watched 8 hours a day, before the brightness of the panel decreases to a half.
