Fast Switching Phosphor

Reformulating the phosphor materials has minimised afterglow and increased luminous efficiency. This reduces double image noise and displays clear, detailed 3D images.

New Light-Emitting Process

New VIERA technology reduces double image in dark areas. Conventional light emission, which goes from dark-to-light, was changed to a light-to-dark sequence. This turns maximum emission afterglow into minimum emission afterglow, and dramatically reduces the afterglow duration. Also, by speeding up the timing of each light emission and expanding the interval until the next frame's emission, we greatly reduced the interference to the left and right frames, which causes double image.

3D 24p Smooth Film

VIERA incorporates technology that analyses picture information in both the preceding and succeeding frames, and creates a precise supplementary frame between them. This suppresses the jerky effect seen in films, so playback is smooth and natural-looking. The distinctive tonal qualities and atmosphere of the movie are preserved, and you enjoy extremely lifelike 3D images.

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 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 minimising 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.

* When using Cinema mode.

Full-HD Resolution Speed of 1200 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 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 correctly display the maximum resolution of 1,080 lines.

THX^® 3D Certified Display

In order to enjoy the original image quality of a movie, you need to have a display that portrays the images exactly as the movie's creators intended. VIERA has cleared the high standards set by THX Certified Display Programme. It reproduces both 2D and 3D images with cinema-like quality. Enjoy beautiful images that are optimal for movies.

24p Smooth Film

Enjoy naturally flowing 24p films and familiar TV-like quality. In plasma displays, increasing the number of frames creates smoother images. When reproducing images from a 24p film source, VIERA's 24p Smooth Film function generates smooth, natural-looking images.

Wide Colour Viewing Angle

No matter where you sit in the room, you see breathtaking images with spectacular colours. Plasma TVs are self-illuminating, so images look beautiful from any angle. Black areas do not fade, and colours look virtually the same from every point in the room.

* Measured using an index for evaluating colour viewing angle developed by the Advanced PDP Development Centre Corporation (APDC). This ensures that you will enjoy exceptional viewing quality even in the largest living rooms.

Super Resolution

The Super Resolution function restores the fine definition and detail that are inherently part of the image but sometimes lost in reproduction. Each area within the image frame is digitally processed for optimum quality. This process up-converts standard-definition images – such as those from TV broadcasts and DVDs – to a level approaching full-HD.

Sound for VT Series

Newly developed speakers bring additional power to 3D images. An improved dual speaker layout produces clearer, higher-quality sounds, while an enhanced configuration allows bass speakers to reproduce dynamic, robust bass sounds.

CONEQ

CONEQ, an acoustic power equalising technology, produces sounds that are extremely faithful to the source. An optimal acoustic field is reproduced in front of the TV. CONEQ is also used in mastering studios and concert halls, as its sound enhancing technologies are widely recognised by sound engineers.

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.

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 rear panel process, 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.

* This measurement is based on the time taken for the brightness of the panel to reduce to half of its maximum level. The time taken to reach this level may vary depending on the image content and the environment where the TV is used. Image retention and malfunctions are not taken into account.

Standby Power Save

When the VIERA power is turned off, the power consumption of connected devices* is minimised.

* 2009 or above VIERA, and 2009 or above video products compatible with Power Save or Quick Start.
** The power consumption value differs depending on the discs used in connected devices and the usage conditions.

Gentle on the Eyes

Eye fatigue is suppressed, so both children and adults can watch TV in comfort, even with extended viewing. In a plasma HDTV, each pixel illuminates and its brightness is adjusted for every scene. For this reason the images are not overly bright.
