2010 Line Focuses on Enhancing the User's TV Experience With
Expanded VIERA CAST(TM) Internet Accessibility, Improved Picture
Quality, Luminous and Energy Efficiency and a Continuing Commitment
to the Environment LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Panasonic Corporation of North America (NYSE:PC), the industry and
technology leader in High Definition Plasma televisions, introduced
its 2010 line of VIERA® Plasma HDTVs at the Consumer Electronics
Show, including the premiere of Full HD 3D(1) television for the
home environment. Building upon the award winning 2009 line of
Plasma HDTVs, Panasonic showcased expanded internet functionality
via the proprietary VIERA CAST IPTV functionality and NeoPDP
technologies resulting in improved picture quality. Adhering to
Panasonic's commitment to the environment, all 2010 models have
improved power consumption and meet the new, more stringent Energy
Star 4.0 requirements. The 2010 VIERA line of Plasma HDTVs now
achieve four times luminous efficiency. The 2010 VIERA line also
features VIERA Link(TM) for increased networking and VIERA Image
Viewer(TM) to allow for watching digital still and HD video on the
Plasma screen. Year after year, Panasonic has been dedicated to
bringing new picture improving technologies to HDTVs and the 2010
line-up continues that trend. The educated consumer now demands
blacker blacks, faster response time and the billions of colors
that Panasonic Plasmas deliver. Panasonic has been recognized for
having the deepest blacks in the industry and the 2010 class takes
that a step further by creating new NeoPDP technologies providing a
new infinite black filter with a higher efficiency panel that
generates the best balance of black and white under brighter
environments. The new panel named "infinite black" further reduces
reflections and creates sharper pictures with higher contrast in
brighter environments. In addition, a new panel structure and
pre-discharge control technology contribute to realize an increased
native infinite contrast level. Panasonic also continues its
relationship with THX® Ltd., with 10 VIERA HDTV models achieving
THX certification by the prestigious company founded by filmmaker
George Lucas. Panasonic's company wide commitment to sustainability
and producing products that are ecologically sound is evidenced in
the 100,000 hour life span of the Plasma HDTVs and the lack of lead
or mercury in the panels. Improved power efficiency has been
addressed with, among other technology advances, new and improved
phosphor mixtures and more efficient electronics. "When all is said
and done, the consumer is most interested in great picture
quality," said Bob Perry, Senior Vice President, Panasonic Consumer
Electronics Company. "There is no doubt that Panasonic Plasma HDTVs
deliver tremendous picture quality. Our pledge to excellence and
value have been affirmed by the critical acclaim our TVs have
received from both the consumer and trade media, not to mention
that Panasonic has been the market leader for the majority of the
last three years. Panasonic continues to improve its technology,
while providing such entertainment enhancements as an IPTV
functionality, VIERA CAST and the VIERA Image Viewer that allows
the consumer to view pictures on a large screen. Panasonic is
totally committed to the success and growth of Plasma. "And with
our introduction of Full HD 3D in screen sizes ranging from 50
inches to 65 inches, Panasonic is bringing the last frontier of
television into the home. We've gone from black & white to
color to digital to high definition. Now with 3D, Panasonic is
making television more realistic. 3D has proven quite successful in
its theatrical form and we are confident that will successfully
translate into the consumer electronics arena," added Perry.
Panasonic's proprietary IPTV functionality, VIERA CAST enhances the
user experience by adding USB connectivity, allowing for the
addition of a wireless LAN adaptor, keyboard and USB memory. In
addition to the continuation of such favorite entertainment sites
as Amazon Video On Demand(TM). Google's YouTube(TM), Picasa(TM) Web
Album, Bloomberg and weather service; the 2010 VIERA CAST provides
access to such targeted sites as Netflix(TM), Skype(TM)(3),
Pandora, Twitter and Fox Sports. With ease of use as a major focus,
VIERA CAST's interface implements quick keyword input (like a cell
phone) to help retrieve favorite content faster and easier.
Panasonic HDTVs employ VIERA Link - a technology that utilizes
HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) and allows a consumer to
operate all VIERA Link compatible A/V components using only the
TV's remote control and helpful on-screen menus. In addition to
operating a VIERA HDTV, video source (Blu-ray and DVD player) and
home theater receiver; VIERA Link permits operation of a network
camera, ideal for monitoring of a home/nursery. A VIERA Link
capable Network Camera can be connected to select VIERA HDTVs and
controlled via VIERA Link remote. Users can then watch their child,
pet and/or property by installing the camera and networking to the
VIERA HDTV via Ethernet cable. As in 2009, all Panasonic VIERA
HDTVs feature VIERA Image Viewer, a function for easy viewing of
digital still photos and in some models, the ability to play back
AVCHD video recorded on SD card. For 2010, VIERA Plasma HDTVs are
rated, as in 2009, to have a lifespan of 100,000 hours. This is
more than 30 years of viewing when watched for 8 hours a day,
before the TV reaches half brightness. To further improve picture
quality, VIERA HDTVs feature some breakthrough consumer innovations
like 600Hz Sub-field Drive and Infinite Black with improved
contrast ratios. The prestigious THX certification is further proof
of Panasonic's dedication to producing the highest quality viewing
experience possible. THX works closely with Panasonic from initial
product design phase to the final product rollout in the market.
THX certification ensures that each display can present all HD and
standard definition content to the maximum resolution with clean
signal processing and accurate color, contrast and luminance
levels. All THX Certified VIERA HDTVs also feature THX Movie Mode,
a picture setting that recreates vivid studio colors, deep blacks
and detailed images right out of the box. PANASONIC 2010 VIERA
