Features
Fast Switching Phosphor
The use of fast switching phosphors has significantly reduced afterglow
duration and reproduced clear 3D and 2D images. Fast switching
phosphors are used in all full HD models.
Improved Pre-discharge & Filter
Minimizing
pre-discharge has made it possible to produce crisp blacks with minimal
graying. And improving the filter shape has suppressed glare and
reduced internal reflections in the front glass panel. The contrast in
bright ambient light has been raised to enable rich, more robust blacks.
Improvement in Luminous Efficiency Achieves Low Power Consumption
Everything
— from the materials and panel structure to the drive method — has been
re-engineered. These improvements are a result of the new phosphor and
new electrode (fish bone) structure.
FULL HD 3D Infuses Reality into Every Image
Frame Sequential Technology
Panasonic
uses Full-HD Frame Sequential technology to create its 3D images.
Images recorded in 1920 x 1080 pixels for both the right-eye and the
left-eye alternately flash on the screen at the ultra-high rate of 120
frames per second. When you view the screen through active-shutter
glasses that open and close each lens in sync with the alternating
images, you see breathtaking FULL HD 3D pictures with stunning power and
realism.
Smooth Film Images
24p Cinema Smoother
Enjoy
naturally flowing 24p films with familiar TV-like quality. In plasma
displays, increasing the number of frames creates smoother images. When
reproducing images from a 24p film source, VIERA HDTVs 24p cinema
smoother function generates smooth, natural-looking images.
*Only the VT, GT and ST Series
Easily Convert 2D Images into 3D
2D-3D Conversion
Unique
Panasonic technology converts 2D images into high-quality 3D images in
real-time. The technology generates a detailed depth effect for each
type of image, so the 3D effect is natural and realistic. Use VIERA HDTV
to enjoy Blu-ray movies, DVD movies and even ordinary TV broadcasts in
3D. The Super Resolution function allows images that were converted from
2D to 3D to be displayed in sharp, clear 3D while minimizing double
image. 3D images with crisp contours are also produced from 3D
broadcasts using the side-by-side method.
*When a 2D source is converted to 3D, the 3D effect is slightly less pronounced than with 3D sources.
Crisp, Clear Moving Pictures
600Hz Sub-field Drive
Panasonic
uses its own unique image-analysis technology. This technology converts
the motion in each scene into data, and each frame is virtually
displayed in a shorter length of time than in previous 600Hz systems, to
create crisp images.
*When using Cinema mode.
Even Faster Images Are More Precise
Full-HD Resolution Speed of 1,200 pps
Full-HD
Resolution Speed, the new standard for moving picture measurement
announced by the Advanced PDP Development Center Corporation (APDC),
indicates the maximum moving picture speed that can be enjoyed with
full-HD resolution. VIERA HDTV's achieved 1,200 pps (pixels per second)
under this new standard. Even images that scroll left or right at the
extremely high speed of 1,200 pps are able to be correctly displayed at
the maximum resolution of 1,080 lines.
Deep Blacks in Bright Rooms
Infinite Black 2
In
the new VIERA HDTVs models, contrast in brightly lit locations has been
improved. Enhancements to the panel and cells help reproduce images
with smooth, natural gradation and deep, rich blacks even when viewed in
bright surroundings. In movies, the true, deep blacks faithfully convey
the intent of the filmmakers, adding power and realism to the viewing
experience.
VIERA Connects You to a New World
VIERA Connect
The
exciting world of cloud based Internet service (Internet Protocol
Television, or IPTV), is available for the entire family to enjoy. Now
you can use an intuitive remote control while relaxing in your living
room having a variety of internet content at your fingertips.
Home Network Convenience
DLNA / Wi-Fi Ready
Connect
a DLNA-compatible VIERA HDTV and DLNA-compatible AV equipment to your
home network, and you can watch movies, listen to music, and view photos
from any room in the house. VIERA HDTV's Wi-Fi capability gives you
even more layout flexibility.
*Except for the U and C Series
Memories Are Even More Powerful in 3D
3D Image Viewer
It's
easy to view 3D photos and movies you shot yourself on the big VIERA
HDTV screen. After shooting with your 3D-compatible camera or camcorder,
simply insert the SD card into the slot on a 3D-compatible VIERA HDTV.
The viewing is incredible, with images so realistic it feels as though
you're right back in the moment. You'll find that lifes special moments
are even more memorable when you preserve them in 3D.
Get Your Game Face On
Game Mode
Games
are much more fun when there's no lag in operation. VIERA HDTV's
automatically choose settings that provide the optimal image, so you get
super-fast response with virtually no delays. Even dark scenes with
delicately rendered details are beautiful and easy to see.
One Remote Controls Them All
VIERA Link
VIERA
Link interlinks the operation of a variety of compatible AV devices, so
you can operate them all using only the VIERA HDTV remote control.
Setup is easy, simply connect the compatible devices to each other via
HDMI cables.
Years of Beautiful Images
Long Panel Life, Up to 100,000 Hours
One
important way consumers can protect the environment is by choosing
high-quality products and taking care of them so they last for a long
time. A high-quality VIERA HDTV can help. Thanks to a newly designed
phosphor process and new panel technology, our plasma panels last for up
to 100,000 hours before the brightness decreases by half. That's more
than 30 years of viewing 8 hours a day.
Environment-Friendly Panel
Mercury and Lead Free Plasma Display Panel
Panasonic
is committed to making our products more friendly to the environment.
In line with this commitment, all VIERA plasma display panels are free
of both lead and mercury. This reduces impact on the environment years
down the road when the TV is recycled or retired from use.

Worried about making
such a large purchase on eBay?
We understand your concern, and we want
to make you feel comfortable about making such a decision. We have
been selling TVs on eBay for over 6 years, and have built up an
extremely good track record.
We hear the horror stories all the
time from customers who previously made a TV purchase elsewhere.
We hear the stories about extremely long delays before a TV is shipped.
We hear the stories about TVs that never get shipped at all. We
hear the stories about TVs being damaged in transit, and the merchant
not taking care of the situation. We hear the stories about TVs not
actually being brand new. There are countless stories we hear
about other merchants who simply don't do the job right, and leave the
customer disappointed. We want to assure you that we are not like that
other merchant. We put a high emphasis on customer satisfaction. If a
customer is not satisfied with their purchase, then we are not satisfied
with that sale. Every merchant is in this business to make money, and we
would be lying if we said we weren't in the business to make money as
well. But we are also in this business making a strong effort to
represent the honest and reliable merchants that do exist. The other
merchants that are only in it for the profit no matter what consequences
fall upon the customer, only hurt our business. And it is upon us and
the other select few merchants to show that you can earn trust in this
business. You only need to look at our feedback to see that we can in
fact be trusted, and that we will go out of our way to earn your trust.
Every TV we sell is Brand New & Factory Sealed. We do not sell any Open
Box or Refurbished TVs. None of our TVs are "Gray Market" items.
Every TV comes with a full valid manufacturer warranty that will begin
the day the TV is shipped. We do not have any hidden fees. The total
cost for the purchase is the total price you see. We understand
that you might be worried about buying such an expensive, delicate item
on eBay, or anywhere on the internet for that matter. Every TV we sell
is shipped fully insured at no additional cost. And while over 99%
of TVs that we ship arrive safely, there are occasions when a TV does
get damaged. But we always take care of those rare situations. All TVs
over 37" are shipped by freight, and will be delivered as a scheduled
appointment. While the TV is in transit, the carrier will call you to
schedule a delivery appointment that works for you. When the TV is
delivered, it is easiest to open the box and inspect the TV for any
damage while the delivery person(s) is present. That way if there is any
damage, you can simply refuse the delivery and we will ship you a new TV
within 1-2 business days. There are however some drivers who will not
permit you to open the box before you sign for the delivery. In that
situation, we just ask that you write "Subject To Inspection" on the
release form and then check the TV as soon as possible. Then if there is
any damage, we need you to contact us right away. We will then contact
the carrier, and they will schedule to come back and pick up the TV
within a couple days. We would then ship out a new TV within 1-2
business days. So we always take care of you should there be any damage.
There are other merchants who will leave it upon you to refuse the
delivery if there is any damage. And if that isn't done, you will be out
of luck. And that is just unacceptable to us. We have built a strong
relationship with the freight carriers that we use, and we always take
care of a customer that is unfortunate enough to receive a TV that is
damaged. We want you to feel comfortable about making such a huge
purchase on eBay, and will do all we can to ensure that you are
satisfied with your experience.
Please remember to leave a phone number
during checkout that will be needed for the scheduling of the delivery
appointment.
