Neo PDP

With its next-generation plasma display panel (PDP) called NeoPDP this range offers better picture quality, higher efficiency and thinner dimensions than its predecessors. With this series, Panasonic has developed new phosphors and cell design technology for improved discharge and new circuit and drive technology to significantly reduce power loss.

As a result, Panasonic has improved motion image performance, contrast and colour reproduction in its plasma displays to achieve a level of picture quality that is simply unprecedented. To improve motion images, this series adopts Panasonic's 600Hz Sub-field Drive Intelligent Frame Creation Pro, which helps achieve 1080 line motion picture resolution. Even fast-moving objects are clear and sharp. Users enjoy a truly stunning viewing experience, especially with ultra-dynamic action and sports scenes such as motor car racing events and car chases.

This series also delivers a dynamic contrast of over 2,000,000:1 thanks to the increased brightness achieved by NeoPDP technology and refinements to Panasonic's Real Black Drive System. With these enhancements, the new models provide the kind of "infinite black" colour that pulls viewers right into the picture.

The 600-Hz technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images with 1,080 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 sub-field to display fast-action scenes in full-HD resolution. And each frame is displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce after-effects.

VIERA link

Panasonic's VIERA system 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.

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.

It's easy to view full-HD images with the SD Memory 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.

V-Audio Surround gives depth-sound-image effect by early-reflection data based on actual room measurement, that is generated from digital signal processor.

Customer Reviews

Wow!
Gorgeous piece of equipment. Upgraded from a 44" LG DLP with standard resolution, and there isn't any comparison. Watched Prince Caspian on Blu-Ray last night: wonderful colour balance, deep blacks, and excellent night scenes. 24p Gives a convincing cinematic presentation too, and everything is much more real. Given the size and clarity of the set, it's a bit of a shock coming back to a Freeview signal or even DVD. Apart from the Pioneer Kuro range (which are pretty much in a class of their own), I haven't seen anything to better this.

Great product and service
This is the third Panasonic TV I've bought, the second flatscreen (previous was a 37inch LCD which was great). As expected this product is very good although worth taking the time to get the picture set up as you like it. Great quality picture and audio.
Despite what the other review says about the delivery my experience was very good. I was called a few days before to agree a timeslot and then texted the day before to remind me. They then called me ahead of time to check I was in and delivered early.

Excellent
TV was delivered in about 6 days, and was more muddy boots than white gloves. Just about acceptable. Anyway this is a review of the TV not the delivery so....

The TV itself is fantastic, it replaced a 37"CRT so the step up was massive. Not run BD's into it but HD from Apple TV looks fantastic.

We had a sky dish outside that was installed about 6 years ago, sky was cancelled about a year after we had it. I connected the tv to the old dish, BINGO!, all the freesat channels tuned in first time using my old sky dish. Bonus.

BBC HD looks great and is free :-)

All in all I'm very pleased with this TV, picture quality is A1 with jet black blacks etc. I'm using it on the normal preset for movies and TV shows and on the game setting for XBOX 360, which also looks fab with no lag. Mine's mounted on a cantilevered wall bracket so in a darkened room it looks like the picture is just floating.

Highly recommended indeed

Hope this helps someone decide.
