Panasonic’s Neo Plasma (NeoPDP) is the next generation of TV. Neo combines breakthrough revisions in three critical areas – materials and processes; discharge gas and cell design; and circuit and drive technology. The result is twice the luminous efficiency of previous displays, thinner design, lower power consumption and a whole new world of image quality.
Neo Plasma heralds an entirely new era for Plasma panels, taking thin design, performance and picture quality to a new level and confirming its place as the premier choice in big screen TV.
- Paul Reid, Director -- Consumer Electronics Group, Panasonic Australia
Neo Speed
Cutting edge innovations create the 600Hz Sub-field Drive, which allows Neo Plasma to deliver Full HD motion and still images with 1080 lines of resolution. For even greater clarity Panasonic’s unique image-analysis technology optimises frames to display fast-action scenes in 1080p Full HD resolution. The result is sport and fast action at its sharpest.
Neo Contrast
The new Neo Plasma range incorporates an improved panel production process and the new Real Black Drive system. This pre-discharge control system combines with Neo Plasma technology to achieve next-generation black reproduction with a cinema-like 2,000,000+:1 Dynamic contrast ratio. This richness of blacks will provide a cinematic experience in your lounge room when watching your evening movies.
Neo Colour
Neo Plasma offers the equivalent of a full 6,144 steps of gradation assuring smooth, rich image expression. This superb gradation performance means that even the most delicate shades of colour are accurately reproduced.
Neo Technology is only available from Panasonic VIErA. These next generation advancements will feature in the Panasonic V10 series, G15 and G10 series as well as the flagship 1-inch, ultra-thin Z1 series of Plasma TVs.

yes, but when is someone going to fix the sound volume problem, ie variation in sound volume between tv channels and within channles between commercials and movies. everoyne blames each other and that it is not thier problem. Whatever happened to compander technology. BRING BACK THE COMPANDER. for your info a compander either compesses or expandes sound level to a customers desired output and holds it there NO MATTER WHAT THE INCOMING LEVEL IS. But i am sur you guys already know this.
REALLY ANNOYED ABOUT THE PROMO WANTED THE BLUE RAY WASN’T TOLD OF LIMITED GIFTS ONLY PURCHASED LARGER TV FOR BLUE RAY STILL 3 WEEKS BEFORE IT FINISHES WHAT A JOKE WILL NOT PURCHASE PANASONIC ITEMS AGAIN VERY UNHAPPY
How do I disable Dynamic Contrast Ratio feature?
Hi Alex,
Thanks for getting in touch.
In order to change from dynamic to other modes please select: Menu > Picture Menu > Viewing Mode > then select Normal or a mode that you prefer.
All the best,
Team Panasonic
Hi thanks for the response but that is not the answer I am looking for. You are referring to the picture mode. I want to disable DCR or Dynamic Range Extender as known on other TVs. The DCR adjusts the contrast levels as the input picture changes to achieve 2m:1 ratio, however this can create adverse effects and a less than ideal viewing experience.
The other issue I have with the product is that it has a limited range of resolutions for PC input, none of them native to the panel. This is a big draw back for the HTPC crowd and anyone wanting to connect up a laptop via DSUB.
Look forward to your reply.
Just purchased Panasonic TV Model.TH-L37G10A collected it 10/12/09 UNABLE to locate if there is any way that you can programme you FAVOURITE channels into your remote control? If so please advise.

In the market for a new plasma and love the new V10 series.
But 50″ is not quite large enough for the space and 58″ is probably overkill (probably….)
Is there any possibility that any other 54″ plasma models will be released in Australia, besides the Z Series. The Z is a fantastic product but out of the price range and I do not need the wireless connectivity etc.
Thanks for your help
Hi Chris,
Thanks for asking.
There is another 54” VIErA in market, launched in October of this year, the TH-P54S10A. This is not as high specification as the V or Z series. Details can be viewed at http://panasonic.com.au/products/details.cfm?objectID=5098
Happy shopping!
Team Panasonic
Hi,
Could you confirm if both the Vseries and G15 sereis plasmas are actually made in Japan as opposed to one of your other plants.
As well, this being the case, why does Panasonic advertise certain models as made in Japan?
Is there actually a difference??
Thanks
Hello Angelo,
Thanks for your question.
The G15 Series is made in China and the V Series is made in Japan.
Over the years many customers have preferred, and requested to know which models are made in Japan. Both series are made to the same high specifications just in different countries.
All the best,
Team Panasonic
Recently won a Panasonic TH-P42S10A plasma which has been working well for about two weeks. Tried to turn it on today, the green LED display flickered as usual, the “click” sounded as usual, and then the LED display flickered red followed by another “click”. No picture or sound. The display continues to flash 7 times, then pauses and then flashes again seven times. This just goes on and on. Have tried turning off at mains but to no avail. Any clues out there? Have I won a lemon?
Hi Ben,
I am sorry for the troubles you are having.
No you haven’t won a lemon, it is however possible that you have a small problem with your TV. The 7 flashes would indicate an error code. Please contact 132 600 for your nearest authorized service center.
All the best,
Team Panasonic
Hi,
I would like to buy the Panasonic G15 42″ Viera Cast plasma over the the G10 series (which does not have the Viera Cast) can you advise when this will be made available in Aust stores??
Currently there is a Wii package promotion on offer with any Viera Full HD plasma purchased until 31/1/10 and I would like to purchase the tv before the Wii bonus ends. If not, will there be any new promotions on offer with the G15 or other series?
Thanks in advance
Hello Ricky,
Thanks for contacting us.
You’ll be happy to know the G15 42” with Viera Cast is currently available exclusively from Harvey Norman stores.
All the best,
Team Panasonic
to day i am about to purchase a V10 50” plasma. can anybody tell me if i can play Div x throu sd card?
Thanks
Akis
Hi Akis,
Thanks for contacting us.
I am sorry to say that no the SD Card slot does not support DivX files.
All the best,
Team Panasonic
What does it support?
the manual says it does support divx files. I’ve been trying to find a file format it is compatible with, could you possibly list me the formats it is?
I find it slightly annoying, you guys have a better TV, but the samsung 850 series has two usb ports as well as SD and it plays .avi files no problem…
to which i reference this.. http://www.i4u.com/article23442.html
I’d like to echo the comments from Chris. I’d like to get a top spec 54 inch plasma but won’t pay for (or need) the wireless model. Do you have any intentions to release a top end 54 inch anytime soon? 50 is too small for me and the boss at home won’t allow me to get a 58. Cheers, Al.
Hi can you tell me wt plasma 42/50\" lets me play computer files divx or wmv\’s etc and how. Also have they woken up and finaly included a usb port on any mod
Hello,
Panasonic PDP’s don’t support DViX / WMV playback via SD card slot. USB port is not included in any of our current models.
All the best,
Team Panasonic
Hello. I bought a TH-P50G10A on the 24/1/10. Watching TV on 29/1/10 the TV turned itself off and the standby light blinks 7 blinks in a row, continuously. The TV is getting replaced by Harvey Norman. hat I want to know, does this happen a lot on this model and can I expect this to happen when the TV is out of warranty? I’ve never had a problem with Panasonic Plasma’s before, but this experience has freaked me out. Thanks in advance for any replies, RP
Hello Rene,
Sorry you’re having difficulties with your TV and i’m happy that you have been able to get it replaced.
Such a problem is by no means common for the VIErA.
All the best,
Team Panasonic
Would you know what the problem is just for reference?
Hi
Bought a TH P50G10A on Friday 28 Jan. Have attempted to complete the requirements for the bonus Wii pack but the website won’t let me get past step 4 or 6. Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers, Geoff
Hi Geoff, Yvonne, Ralfi and Mehul.
I appologise for the wait and will have a representative contact you immediately.
All the best,

I purchased the Panasonic Neo Plasma (54 inch) along with the Wireless Home Theatre and Blu Ray Player prior to Xmas and loved it. Unfortunately my house was robbed and the TV/Home Theatre etc was stolen.
I am now going to re-purchase the whole lot again but still have the wall bracket (TY-WK5P1SW) on the wall. The only thing I need are the ‘Insulation Spacers’ that come with the wall bracket as these parts are fixed to the back of the TV (which was taken).
Rather than spending another $500.00 (on top of everything else) and having to buy the whole bracket again I have been on an exhaustive attempt to try and locate where I can purchase just the ‘Insulation Spacers’.
I have called Panasonic Head office and Customer Help centre on numerous occassions and am frustrated at the lack of help they are able to provide. I am consistently referred to a Spare Parts supplier (GB Telespares) who have advised that they emailed Panasonic to ask for advice but have not had a response!
When you spend approx $10,000 on a suite of products you should expect that you get better aftersales service. I am very frustrated and dissapointed that Panasonic cannot backup the top-end products they sell with top-end service.
If anyone can help with advising where I can get the Insulation Spacers I would very much appreciate it.
Doug
Hi Doug,
Sorry to hear about your theft and thank you for contacting us.
Please let me follow this up with our factory as we do not carry these specific items in Australia.
I’ll post an update asap.
All the best,
Team Panasonic
Thanks for responding to this and following this up. Also thank you to Simone who was very helpful during our discussion.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers

I’m seeing a lot of discussion on the www about a suposed problem with loss (sudden) of black levels (i.e. becoming grey) affecting 2009 and 2008 panasonic plasmas. I know one should be wary of comments on some of these forums, so I was hoping I could get a clear response from panasonic as to whether there is indeed and issue that is being looked into. It appears CNet has picked up on the concern. Would very much appreciate your feedback, as I’m on the point of buying a 46 inch G10, which I think is great.
I would like to know the answer to this too. I have just ordered a 65″ V10. But I am seriously considering cancelling given that the black levels may get worse than a cheap lcd after only 500 to 1000 hours of use. (Referring to a picture on the relevant AVS thread showing comparison of a cheap LCD against a G10 after the black levels went off). I want to know if there is a firmware update coming or not.
I’m was also very interested in the reported black level loss.
I’ve been following various discussions regarding this subject which started showing up only days after I made my purchase.
I’ve lost trust in Panasonic after reading the C Net interview with Panasonics VP where he stated there is no problem with black levels.
I’m following C NETs recomendation of not buying the panasonic 2009 models.
Im happy to say I have returned my 58″ S1 and will await the new Samsung plasmas.
Better safe than sorry!
have been waiting for a 65″ neo plasma from the store i have purchased it from last year , can you please let me now how long before these will be release ,
thanks,

Apologies for the delay,

Saw the CES press releases on the new Plasma range for 2010. Looks killer, I think I will be upgrading this year again for sure.
When are the V25/20 series going to be available in Australia (the 3D ones)
Hi Brad,
The 2010 VIErA plasma range is set to be our best yet with great advancements across the range.
As for the exact release date of the V20/25 series we will be staggering the new product releases throughout the year and can not confirm dates as yet.
Stay tuned.
Team Panasonic
We have a new, delivered December 2009, TH-P46G10A plasma. I notice that after about an hours operation each time it flashes a message at the top left of the screen,
Av2
Component
576i Input
This message then flashes on every so often afterwards. Any thoughts as to why, and how to get rid of it? We haven’t setup the free dvd recorder pvr that comes with the TV yet, so its connected to the set top box at present.
Hi Ian,
It’s best if we guide you over the phone on 132 600 so we can discuss how you are using the AV2 component.
Cheers,
Team Panasonic
Hi,
I purchased a TH42PX70A in Sep 2007. While watching the Aus Open tennis, the TV shut down and the red led lamp now flashes 7 times. The repairer has quoted $600+ to rectify the proplem. (Sustain board and Control boards need replacing).
I note there are 2 other people with this issue on this blog. I am in two minds if I should repair as this seems to be a common fault with panasonic here and in the US also.
Should I scrap my 2.5 year old 42″ plasma and buy another brand?
Hello Philip,
I’m sorry you are having problems and have told a customer representative to email you asap to help you with this issue.
All the best,
Team Panasonic
I’am going to buy plasma TV, and due to quality of image I choose Panasonic. I also want that my new TV have Internet connection and can use Skype. I’ve read that Panosonic will have this feature in Viera Cast. Is there any model on the market I can buy that will support Skype in the future, or should I wait for new model ?
Maybe there will by some updates for Viera Cast that will support Skype for models from 2009 like TX-P46G15E for example ?
Hello Popek,
Good question
Panasonic’s current models do not support the Skype application nor will they be upgradeable. Several yet to be released 2010 PDP models will support a dedicated Skype application.
Please stay tuned for more info on our 2010 range!
Cheers,
Team Panasonic
Do you recommend people who bought a G15 in 2009 to upgrade to a new TV in 2010 to take advantage of new Veira Cast Content?
Hello, I have a 42G10A for about 6 months. I can confirm that the various reports on the net that on it will losing blackness over 1000 hrs or so. The dark/black scenes now has a glow to it much like LCD or worse. I used to be able to watch movies with one little light turned on. Now I can\’t as the screen looked washed out for any dark scenes. I now have to watch TV with the full living room like turned on so the lost of contrast won\’t be noticeable. This is ridiculous. Is there anything, any settings I can do to fix it?
Thanks
Hi, can you please tell me if this model VIErA TH-P54S10A is made in Japan?
i have tried reading up on the specs on the panasonic australian website and elsewhere on the net but haven’t had any luck confirming that. Can you please help by letting me know? Thanks
Shazia
Hi Shazia,
Thank you for your question.
Yes the TH-P54S10A is made in Japan.
All the best,

Hi,
I just brought a TH-P50G10A plasma tv, and it doens’t pick up channels 4,the parliament channels and expo. It picks up all other channels fine. I also have a new Panasonic PVR connected to the same arial wall outlet, and it receives all the channels fine. I have connected the TH-P50G10A directly to the wall outlet but still no channels 4, e.t.c. I have another brand plasma and HD set top box on the same arial network through the house and they all work fine and pick up all the channels. Why won’t the TH-P50G10A tuner pick up all the channels? Any ideas?
Thanks
Michael.
Hey Michael,
Thanks for getting in touch.
What is the ‘Signal Condition’ of Channel 4 on the Panasonic PVR?
Please try manually tuning Ch 4 on your TV via ‘Manual Tuning’ TV function.
Cheers,
Team Panasonic
Any idea on when the Panasonic Neoplasma will launch in North America (Especially Canada)?
When can we expect new content on Viera Cast? I see the template has changed… a lot more ‘coming soon’ boxes.
