Panasonic to launch two new full HD VIERA plasma TVs
Panasonic, one of the few consumer electronics companies still manufacturing both plasma and LCD high definition TVs, has announced that its TH-65VX100 and TH-50VX100 (65- and 50-inch, respectively) VIERA plasma TVs will be arriving in the UK from January.
According to the official press release, there's new-generation plasma technology on board including a "Dynamic Black Layer" positioned at the front end of the panel which is supposed to reduce the amount of predischarge to one-sixth that of conventional models. In English, this means that the contrast ratio is a self-proclaimed 60,000:1, offering deeper, richer blacks and expanding the colour gamut.
Also on board is an 18-bit digital signal processor, "Digital Colour Reality" technology for fine gradation from light to dark, and a huge range of adjustment menus (sixteen, in fact) covering gamma curve, white balance, and so on. Naturally, these 1,920 x 1,080 TVs handle full 1080p.
Other details are a little vague at present, including that all-important price, but the 65-incher will be out in January next year, followed by the 50-incher in February.
