Panasonic Viera HDTVs: Beyond the borders of conventional TV

 HDTVs are quantified by the number of pixel per vertical line – so a TV designed as “720” has 720 vertical pixel and a TV designed as “1080” has 1080 pixels. TVs with a higher pixel count have higher resolution and therefore produce a clearer, more detailed image, than those with a lower pixel count. […]

Standard definition Television (SDTV) is the TV you grew up watching. With a resolution of 480 pixels per inch and an aspect ratio of either 4:3 or 16:9, SDTV broadcasts were the norm for many years. High Definition Television (HDTV) was introduced in 1998. HDTV broadcast has a resolution of up to 1080, for a more detailed, realistic picture. HD has become the de facto Standard for newly manufactured television sets, which offer a slew of technical features to provide the most immersive TV viewing experience ever.

And while Plasma TVs still represent the Gold standard in motion pictures, new technological advances are allowing some LCDs have a feature called Motion Picture Pro, which combines 120 H2 technology and image interpolation to simulate in-between frames so that even high-speed motion in movies and sports is rendered with striking fluidity and realism.

An HDTV gives you a truly cinematic experience right in your own living room, even when you watch your old DVD player. But while, your HDTV supports 720p, 1080i or 1080p, most older DVD players output only a 480p MPEG2 video stream.

Whether you want to view your photos and home videos, play video games, watch movies or use your TV as a computer monitor, it’s now easier than ever to connect with your other electronic media devices

 Many Panasonic Viera HDTV models even have a built in SD cards slot, so all you need do is pop the SD card out of your digital camera and insert it directly into your television monitor!
