2010 New Models V Series Plasma iDTV

Infinite Black

A new filter, improvements to the cell discharge area, and enhanced cell performance have greatly increased luminous efficency to produce crisp blacks. Moreover, the plasma iDTV incorporates a japan-made Neo PDP Panel of high quality and reliability. This further raises the dynamic contract up to 5,000,000 : 1.

600Hz Sub-field Drive*

600Hz technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images. For even greater clarity with motion images, Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology. This technology converts the motion in each scene into data. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce aftereffects.

Moving Picture Resolution 1080 Lines

VIERA plasma TVs feature 1080 lines of moving picture resolution. You can enjoy clear, detailed images even in fast-moving scenes, with no blurring or afterimages. The NeoPDP technology's high-speed drive performance instantly generates a large electrical discharge and shortens the display time for each image frame to minimise afterimages. This

makes virtually every scene crystal-clear, including decisive calls in football matches and the dynamic yet delicate motions in figure skating performances.

Wide Colour Viewing Angle

View breathtaking images with rich, vivid colours from anywhere in the room. Because plasma TVs are self-illuminating, images look beautiful from any angle. Black areas do not fade, and colours look virtually the same no matter where you sit.

Customised Image Calibration for Your Own Room

ISFccc – Imaging Science Foundation Certified Calibration Configuration –

Detailed and precise image calibration is possible by an ISF-certified installer. Professional calibration of contrast, tint, sharpness and colour levels are optimized to meet local lighting conditions for both day and night time viewing.

Achieves High Picture Quality and Energy Savings

Reduce Power Consumption with High Technology

By redesigning the panel's cell structure, Panasonic has achieved four times luminous efficiency**. Our advanced NeoPDP technology delivers stunningly beautiful images while slashing power consumption. You can enjoy an ecological, energy-saving TV with superb viewing performance.

* Comparing TH-P42V20 with TH-P42G10. Based on IEC 62087 Ed.2 measurement method.
** Comparing panel brightness when operating a 2010 panel at the same power as a 2007 full-HD panel.

Environmentally Friendly Panel

Mercury and Lead Free Plasma Display Panel

Panasonic products are more friendly to the environment. All VIERA plasma display panels are mercury and lead free. This reduces the impact on the environment when recycling or disposing of them in the future.

long-lasting TV

Long Panel Life, Up to 100,000 Hours

These TVs can be used for over 30 years. Using high-quality products longer, and taking care of them, is the first step to environmental conservation. A newly designed phosphor process and rear panel process give the plasma panel a longevity of up to 100,000 hours. This is more than 30 years of viewing when watched 8 hours a day, before the brightness of the panel decreases to half.

* The panel life of an LCDTV is up to 60,000 hours.
* 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.

Gentle on Everyone

Gentle on the Eyes

Eye fatigue is suppressed, so both children and adults can watch TV in comfort even when viewing for relatively long periods of time. In a plasma TV, each pixel lights up, and the lighting intensity is adjusted according to the scene. Because of this, the images are not overly bright.

Reduces Power Consumption

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.

Auto Energy Saving

Intelligent Auto Standby

Power consumption is minimised by using VIERA Link control for interconnected devices.

* 2009 or above VIERA, and 2009 or above video products compatible with Power Save or Quick Start.
