A native contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1* enables VIERA to display extremely robust blacks. A new panel and improvements to the cell discharge area dramatically increase contrast when viewing in brightly lit locations. And reducing the electrical pre-discharge that causes greying has greatly enhanced black gradation. As a result, deep, rich blacks are displayed in virtually any viewing area, from living rooms to bedrooms. Even in dark film scenes, clothing textures and individual strands of hair are clearly reproduced.
* Native Contrast is expressed as a ratio of the minimum of luminance levels of blacks and the maximum of luminance levels of whites that are displayed and measured at the same time on the same screen in a dark room on a plasma panel module. Panasonic's Native Contrast measurement expresses the maximum contrast ratio of the plasma panel measured at the time of manufacture and does not express a contrast ratio measured during ordinary viewing conditions by a consumer.
For 2010 plasma television models, Panasonic measures Native Contrast in a Dynamic mode using a static white rectangular pattern with 4% area size. This allows consumers to compare more easily the Native Contrast ratios reported for Panasonic plasma televisions with the Dynamic Contrast ratios reported by many manufacturers of LCD televisions.
Depending on the model, Native Contrast of the panel has been measured as either 5,000,000:1 or 2,000,000:1. Unlike measurements taken for previous models, Pre-Discharges do not occur for the images used in the 2010 model measurements, so the results should not be compared to contrast ratios reported for earlier year Panasonic models.
Most manufacturers use the Dynamic Contrast methodology in measuring contrast ratios for LCD televisions. This methodology, unlike the Panasonic Native Contrast ratio measurement for plasma televisions, compares the maximum luminance levels on full white signal in one picture with the minimum luminance levels on full black signal in another picture.
The 600Hz Sub-field Drive in VIERA plasma TVs teams up with Intelligent Frame Creation Pro technology to deliver smooth, fluid on-screen motion. Intelligent Frame Creation Pro detects moving objects and optimises their flow, to smoothen the image and ensure crisp motion.
* When using Cinema mode
VIERA plasma TVs feature 1080 lines of moving picture resolution. You 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.
* Measured by APDC (Advanced PDP Development Centre Corporation) Method
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.
* Measured using an index for evaluating colour viewing angle developed by the Advanced PDP Development Centre Corporation (APDC). This ensures that you will enjoy exceptional viewing quality even in the largest living rooms.
THX reproduces film images exactly as the film's creators intended them. The overall aim was to improve the experience of cinema-goers and faithfully recreate the audio and visual ambience that filmmakers intended. To receive THX certification, TVs undergo stringent tests to determine, for example, whether the exact same brightness and colour are displayed at all screen locations, and whether black levels satisfy standard criteria. VIERA meets the high standards set by the THX Certified Display Program.

VIERA's wide colour gamut covers 120% of the HDTV colour standard. It produces richer, more vivid colours by re-mastering cinema sources and enhancing HD broadcasts.
* VIERA emulates the colour of digital cinema projectors currently in cinemas.
Enjoy smooth flowing 24p films and familiar TV-like quality. In plasma displays, increasing the number of frames creates smoother images. When reproducing images from a 24p film source, VIERA's 24p Smooth Film function generates smooth, natural-looking images.
It's easy to view full-HD images with the SD card slot. Watch and show your photos and motion images right after you take them. Simply insert an SD Card into VIERA to display photos and full-HD videos on the large screen. An easy-to-see, easy-to-use thumbnail display has also been added. Special new slideshow frames, and an increased number of display effects are also included. Plus, Reversal Film mode makes photo colours so rich and vibrant, even professional photographers will appreciate them. Messages and memos can be added to photos from a PC to create detailed travelogues and original slideshows with messages for special people. This further expands the possibilities for VIERA enjoyment.

For example, you can watch still and motion images that are saved onto your PC on a large-screen TV. Using a Wi-Fi connection lets you connect devices anywhere in the house over a wireless network for the most flexible installation ever.
Wireless LAN Adaptor*
By using a Wi-Fi connection for your VIERA TV and other AV devices, you can share VIERA CAST information or data saved on a PC over a wireless network. To set up a Wi-Fi network, simply connect a wireless LAN adaptor to the USB port of your VIERA TV.
* The Wireless LAN Adaptor is included within the package only for the V Series. (Depending on the area, this accessory may not be included.)
VIERA Link allows the interlinked operation of various AV devices using only the VIERA remote control, by simply connecting the devices to each other by an HDMI cable.

The VIERA Tools user interface makes it easy to use access key functions by pressing a single button. Functions are easier to use, and there's no complicated operation.
* VIERA Tools screen design image is subject to change without notice.
** The screen display varies depending on the model.
In Game Mode, quicker image response increases the enjoyment of video games when a game console is connected to the TV. What's more, VIERA produces the dark images in video games more clearly. This mode works with the anti-image retention (wobbling) function, too.
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.
* 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
