Panasonic Tru2Way CableCard TVs Launch in Chicago and Denver
6:53AM Sean Fallon | It looks like consumers in Chicago and Denver will have the privilege of being the first to get their hands on Panasonic’s new tru2way-enabled VIERA HDTVs. Basically, true2way is a new type of CableCARD that will deliver interactive features to cable subscribers without the need for a cable box. AU: While this is very US only, there may be a chance, one day (but not any time soon) that this tech will feed over to Australia so we can get Foxtel on our TVs without the extra box. More »

Panasonic THX Display Certified Viera TH-50PZ800U New King of Plasmas (for Now)
10:10AM Matt Buchanan | After months of reigning as the best TVs on the planet, Pioneer’s Kuro is finally challenged for the throne by Panasonic’s THX Display-certified Viera TH-50PZ800U. It’s the THX mode that gives it the edge, with its superior colour accuracy and uniformity making it “one of the best-performing plasmas” Cnet has tested, even though the blacks (while very good) still aren’t at Kuro level. And of course, this isn’t compared to the new super-thin, super-black Kuros rolling out later this year. So enjoy the crown while you’ve got it, Panny. [Cnet] More »

9:38AM Nick Broughall | Alongside the Blu-ray recorder Panasonic unleashed yesterday, there were 14 new Viera TVs. That’s right. Fourteen. That number includes nine plasmas – including a new 46-inch model – and five new LCDs. 11 of these new sets will be available in time for the Olympics.
Six of the nine plasmas are Full HD, offering 1080p pictures, 24p cinema mode, 100Hz technology, 134 billion viewable colours and 30,000:1 native contrast ratio.
Panasonic have reiterated their position that plasmas are better for bigger screen sizes, while LCD TVs are perfect for smaller sizes and brightly lit rooms.
In the LCD department, sizes range from 32-inch to 37-inch, with Full HD models available in both sizes.

Panasonic Shows Off Full HD Viera LCD TVs
9:25PM Haroon Malik | We first took notice at CES, and today Panasonic has refreshed their excellent Viera LCD range. The new flagship model goes by the sexy moniker, TX-37LZ800. The other new entrants include the LZ80 Series, TX-37LZ85 and TX-32LZ85, which will all be full HD (1080p) capable, have three HDMI inputs and boast 10,000:1 contrast ratios. Available this month, the new sets will also pack in Real Pro 3 picture technology, which is coined as a new image optimisation enhancement, allowing for “images of mesmerising beauty.” Obviously, it’s all very technical. Panasonic, not content with dropping all those goodies for the full HD display searching hordes, also plans an April launch of even better TV sets. More »
