Motion Focus Technology
Even fast-moving scenes are displayed sharply and clearly. With a 60Hz video signal input, 120Hz Motion Picture Pro 3 makes 120 frames/sec from 60 frames/sec. This increases the frame count to allow natural frame-to-frame transitions, for smooth motion images with high resolution. VIERA also uses motion focus technology that greatly enhances resolution.

Wide Viewing Angle
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.

VIERA Image Viewer
It’s easy to view full-HD images with the SD card slot. Watch and show your photos right after you take them. Simply insert an SD card into VIERA to display photos on the large screen.

You can also choose from among 3 types of background music and 4 display effects. It’s much more fun when you can view them on a large-screen HDTV with family and friends in 1920 x 1080-pixel high definition and a wide 16:9 aspect ratio.

Fine Black Panel
Panel reflections have been reduced to half those of conventional panels, to sharpen images and reduce glare. This also helps to unify the panel design with that of the VIERA lineup.

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 Tools
With the new VIERA Tools user interface, simply press a button on the remote control and icons such as the photos or movies from the menu screen appear. Now you can just select the one you want. This kind of easy operation means you have more fun and less hassle.

Game Mode
In Game mode, quicker image response increases the enjoyment of video games when a game console is connected to the TV. What’s more VIERA produces the dark images in video games more clearly. This mode works anti-image retention (wobbling) too.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Customer Review

This is my first experience not only with an HD TV with a screen, but the relationship is this. If I have a DVD with a widescreen presentation, in particular the work, or a foreign film, subtitles are a must. Now subtitles appear in two ways: a large screen in DVD format: (1) All words are within the image or (2) all or some of the words in the black area below the image.

If I choose the 4:3 screen format on the Panasonic HD TV, the subtitles are pretty good nowNo matter where they are. But when I use the screen with the image where the image goes from top to bottom, without subtitles disappear below the image to fill.

I was told by my dealer that this is a problem of all is flat, wide-screen TVs now, because they are designed without any thought of all DVD subtitles.

Look where I need is this: is there a way to set a compromise to show the entire screen with subtitles to get, or is it just a defect of this model – orIn all other HD-TV?

I want to thank in advance who can help me.

Incredible deal, Amazon!! – Reviewer – USA
I bought this as an Amazon Gold Box deal for $ 380 shipped in February. At that price, I thought it was to take one. Four months later, I still can not believe what has been a great TV This! I can certainly understand complaints peoples' Who is a good speaker is not projecting, but I have my TV up to 25 years, through headphones connected to the stereo receiver to RCA cable and I do not remember. I believe that the lack of analog / RCA audio is a bit 'boring, but the headphone jackworks perfectly well. I also plugged my computer via DVI-HDMI, which can display nearly the full 1920×1080 resolution. I also have a 1080th Philips DVP3962 upconverting DVD player connected via HDMI, and watch all my movies in standard definition is good. The glossy black surface is fairly easy to catch dust, but I suspect it's not exactly alone this television. Clear QAM would be a nice feature too, but for the price and quality, I can not complain really!
