Panasonic Plasma TV Offers Larger, Brighter Images
High definition television sets are becoming a more integral part of the entertainment world as the industry works at meeting the government's requirement for all broadcasting to be done in digital by the year 2009. With this shift to digital, consumers are benefiting from much better reproductions of shows on widescreen flat-panel televisions with some of the brightest pictures being viewed on a Panasonic plasma TV. With the brilliance seen in the newer models of plasma televisions, Panasonic is proving a leader in the innovations of larger screens for home viewing enjoyment.
When flat panel televisions were first being developed, the use of liquid crystal displays became all the rage, however the size of the screens were rarely larger than 27-inches diagonally. The Panasonic plasma TV development enabled television manufacturers to enlarge the screens, typically not smaller that 36-inches and the industry generally accepted the fact that LCD screens would be left for smaller markets while plasma technology could take over the larger screen market share.
The use of LCD screens was left for the health electronics industry and in computer monitors along with smaller screens for home television viewing. As plasma technology became more accepted, the screen sizes, especially for the 13:9 aspect ratio was booming in sales and now the Panasonic plasma TV is available in a variety of sizes for home use, up to 65-inches.
Technology And Competition Sparks Price Reduction
As with most new technologies, when the plasma televisions were first introduced they were out of the price range for most consumers. However, advances in technology and competition from other manufacturers, as well as the development of large screen sets by LCD manufacturers, the prices of a Panasonic plasma TV have fallen to become more affordable to a wider consumer audience.
Depending on the size of a consumer's viewing room, they can find a Panasonic plasma TV ranging in size from 42-inches to 65-inches, with three additional sizes in between. Placement of the viewer's seating will help determine the size of the screen, as sitting too close to a larger screen may cause some of the action on the edges of the picture to be missed.
Newer technology, especially in the newer Panasonic plasma TV sets allows to faster color changes and better replication of fast action on the screen. The newer Viera series Panasonic plasma TV provides for better contrast and color renditions in 1080 progressive scanning to render vivid color and action, regardless of the screen size.
