Image Quality for the Digital Age New

By reducing the predischarge emission when reproducing black, the New Real Black System provides deeper, richer blacks and a stunning 3000:1 contrast. The result is dramatically enhanced image clarity and realism.

 Super Real Gamma System

The Super Real Gamma System provides the optimal number of sub-fields for each scene. This allows Panasonic plasma TVs to reproduce 1024 shades of gradation for superior detail in dark scenes.

MACH Enhancer

The appearance of an object as perceived by the human eye is influenced by the colours of the objects surrounding it. This phenomenon is known as the MACH Band Effect. Panasonics MACH Enhancer enhances an object's contours for the eyes perception.

Built in Analogue Tuner

The PV30 series contains a built-in analogue tuner, the same as a conventional television, thus allowing you to enjoy analogue television.

Expansive, Cinematic-Type Sound

The new Smart Sound Speaker System features four 16mm wide speaker units arranged vertically on either side of the screen making dialogue and other sounds easy to hear. Bass sounds are robust too, thanks to two round woofer units below the screen.

Multi Window*

Panasonic plasma televisions let you view images from two different sources at the same time. Select from Picture-and-Picture, Picture-in-Picture or Picture-out-Picture mode.

 Elegant Flowing Design - Aero Floating Silhouette 

With its simple, linear flow and gracefully curved base, the brand-new cosmetic design combines with the lustrous pearl-silver finish to make VIERA a most pleasing addition to any room decor. Images seem to float in mid-air.

 Easy Playback of Digital Snapshots - SD/PC Card Slots

VIERA features both an SD Memory Card slot and a PC card slot, giving you an easy way to enjoy large screen viewing of still images from a digital camera or other memory card-equipped device. Photos can be viewed as a slide show or in a photo-album format. You can also easily rotate images using the remote control.

Full Digital Processor for Clear Noise-Free Images

At VIERA's core is a newly developed, full-digital signal processor that provides ultra-precise processing of all video signals, at every stage of the image reproduction process, from input all the way through to display output.

Bounded Cell Structure gives Superior Brightness

The HD Panel features a bounded cell structure in which wall-like ribs are used to wrap each individual cell. By increasing the area in which the phospher can be applied, this dramatically improves both light-emitting efficiency and intensity.

3D Y/C Digital Comb Filter

The 3D Y/C Digital Comb Filter minimises distortions in video images which results in an improvement in gradation and S/N ratio, bringing greater clarity and beauty to regular TV programmes.
