Panasonic unveils its first LED LCD VIERA TVs as a part of a 14-strong LCD lineup
Five LED LCD models and nine LCD models were launched at the Panasonic AV launch in Melbourne this month, the most extensive LCD lineup the company has ever launched in Australia. The sizes range from 22 inches to 42 inches and represent an exciting new stage in the evolution of VIERA technology.
It can be a confusing experience when you make the decision to purchase a new TV. Do I buy an LCD or do I buy a Plasma? Here at Panasonic we make both types of TV displays.
The first thing to do is to take a step back and consider the bigger picture. Firstly, which is better, Plasma or LCD?
A broad statement without qualification that one is superior to the other is merely subjective. Both technologies have their strengths.
Room lighting and your TV
When you are considering the purchase of a new flat panel LCD or Plasma TV it is important to keep in mind the lighting conditions of the room, especially the lighting at the time of the day when you watch your TV most and want it to perform at its very best.
LCD TV technology works by having a constant white light source behind the panel, and by the use of small gates (LCD cells with one of three coloured filters on the end) the picture is subtracted from the white light source. To get a dark image or black image all the gates are closed to produce a black screen. To produce a bright or white scene all the gates are opened.
