Amazing color reproduction
The incredible black reproduction of a Panasonic High-Definition Plasma TV results in impressive contrast and beautiful, natural colors. So you'll get warm, accurate skin tones, gorgeous greens, breathtaking blues and vivid reds. For color that's as rich and bold as life itself, look to a Panasonic Plasma TV.
Consistent brightness from any angle
A Panasonic Plasma combines anti-glare and anti-reflection technology with the natural light-emitting properties of plasma, to give you a super-wide viewing range with a crisp, beautiful image from almost any angle.
Smooth, graceful motion
When you're watching sports or movies with fast-motion graphics, you want a TV that can keep up with the action. With over 900 lines of moving picture, self-illuminating plasma displays eliminate afterimages in fast-action scenes. So whether you're watching a sporting event or an action-packed movie, you'll always get the most impressive viewing experience possible.
1,000,000:1 Contrast
The Panasonic's Real Black system (a pre-discharge suppression system) and improved panel production processes combine to reproduce outstanding blacks with superb contrast. Each image is richly expressive, from bright scense, like scorching desert landscapes, to dark cave scenes. Compare the image produced by conventional HDTV on the left to the Real Black image produced on the right
More Colors
Viera HDTVs support the xvYCC color profile (Extended YCC Colorimetry for Video Applications), or "x.v. color" for short. Standard RGB color space allows the display of a portion of the colors that are viewable to the human eye. The next generation "xvYCC" color space actually offers an available range of colors that exceeds what human eyes can recognize.
Next-generation "xvYCC" color space supports 1.8 times as many colors as existing HDTV signals
Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately
Enables displays with more natural and vivid colors
Deep Color
Where x.v. color expands the available range of colors your HDTV can display, Deep Color increases the number of colors your HDTV can display within that range, for smoother transitions from color to color.
Lets HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors to billions of colors
Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors
Enables increased contrast ratio
Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white.
Connectivity
Viera flat panel HDTVs interact with an array of high-definition devices and services, making it easy for consumers to access and enjoy content as never before. As of 2008, Viera Link is compatible with Onkyo and Yamaha home theater systems.
Videos and stills recorded on SD cards can easily be viewed via the SD slots on Panasonic Blu-Ray Disc players and Viera HDTVs.
Viera Link means easy connectivity via HDMI cables. Finally, consumers can easily operate their Blu-Ray Disc players, DVD recorders and home theater systems with a single remote control device.
4 HDMI inputs to connect all of your devices directly to your television.
Equipped with an RGB input terminal, VIERA can connect with your PC and serve as a large-screen monitor.
Long Life
Panasonic plasma panels are rated to last 100,000 hours, which is about 30 years of regular or 11 years of non-stop usage before the brightness of the display is halved.
Get Full HD with Blu-Ray Disc Players
A Panasonic 1080p plasma television is able to render 1920x1080 pixels, but standard DVDs have a resolution of just 720x480. Blu-ray discs output true 1080p High-Definition resolution and have a storage capacity ten times greater than standard DVDs, so no pixel gos to waste.

A great TV. Strong Blacks, bright colors, you can ask for no more than this TV. Love it, love it, love it!
As good as I hoped.November 25, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was a little concerned ordering an item like this online but am happy to say that the quality of the picture was better than I could have expected. Additionally the company we ordered it from filled and delivered the order sooner than anticipated! All in all a great experience overall!

The product is excellent. However, it didn't come until November 20th. This was very frustrating.
More than expectedNovember 23, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought a plasma over an LCD for the following 2 reasons; 1) Plasma technology is still better than the best LCD. All this LCD 120Hz, and everything else they throw in is to try to get to the plasma level. Also plasma contrast ratio vs LCD is not even close, where LCD loses. 2) The price difference was about $400 less when compared to an LCD that I would buy only if forced to do so.
This Panasonic is crisp, great colors, great blacks and the right number of inputs for all the components I will hook to it.
I was worried about the heat, and it turns out my computers 30inch Dell LCD monitor puts out more heat than this thing. It is surprisingly cool.
I need one more flat panel, and no question would buy this or its close cousins again.
I am very happy.
Outstanding valueNovember 23, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This TV was as advertised. Excellent quality, easy to set-up and use, great value at Amazon price. It was in my home 24 hours after I ordered it (it helps that I am an hour's drive from an Amazon warehouse) What other reviewers have said about the set is true. It is easy to set up and adjust. The picture can be as subtle or brilliant as you wish with on screen adjustments. No sense in repeating what other reviewers have said, I'll just agree. With the Peerless ST650P Tilting Wall Mount my teenage son and I were able to mount it on the wall in an hour, in a "potrait box" no less. It was easy to center and keep level, and tilt so that it aims slightly down for easier viewing. My only complaint is that 4 weeks after I purchased it, Amazon is now oferring a free Panasonic Blue ray player if you purchase this TV at the same time. Jump on the deal, it's like an 800 dollar savings over retail.
