Panasonic Australia is only weeks away from launching a new range of LCD TVs. Better known for their plasma range the Japanese Company has been highly successful in the past with a limited but award winning LCD model range.
The new Viera LCDs which come in 32″ 37″and 42″ and include the Companies 800 line, 100Hz “Intelligent Frame Creation”. They are expected to go on sale in Australia in April.
The new technology detects and analyses on-screen movements which then delivers what Panasonic describes as “sharp motion-image playback with minimal blurring”.
The 2009 range will all also feature an IPS Alpha panel with large aperture ratio, for clearer pictures, 50,000:1 dynamic contrast and wide colour viewing angle.
SmartHouse believes that new V10 series will come with new networking functions that will allow users to access the Internet through their TV. The new model also has Viera “Image Viewer”, for viewing pictures and movies from a digital camera or camcorder, “Viera Link”, and DLNA connection for viewing media content from a networked PC.
The service is already live in the US and enables you to access content though your TV via a built-in Ethernet connection. Among the content on offer is YouTube video and photos from Google’s Picassa web galleries as well as on-demand streams from Eurosport and Bloomberg. You’ll be able to view news and weather widgets from the web, too.
Boasting just Viera Link and Viera Image Viewer are the G10, S10 and C10 series. The G10 will be available in 32- and 37-inch screen sizes, while the S10 will be available 32-, 37- and 42-inch screen sizes.
The C10 will feature an eco mode to reduce power consumption, adjusting the screen luminance according to room brightness, and will be available with 26- and 32-inch screens.
