VIERA Tools
The VIERA Tools user interface makes it easy to access and understand key functions. Simply press a function button, and an explanation appears on the screen. Keep the button pressed to activate the function immediately.
VIERA Image Viewer
Equipped with an SD card slot, VIERA makes it easy to view full-HD photos and motion images that you shot yourself. Simply insert the SD memory card into the slot, and you're ready to view your photos and full-HD videos on the big screen. You can make your slide shows even more impressive by adding background music and attractive frames. With VIERA's big screen and superb image quality, family and friends will love sharing your memories.
Game Mode
Games are much more fun when there's no lag in operation. VIERA automatically chooses settings that provide the optimal image, so you get super-fast response and no delays. Even dark scenes with delicately rendered details are beautiful and easy to see.
600Hz Sub-field Drive
600Hz technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images with 1080 lines of resolution. For even greater clarity with motion images, Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology. This technology converts the motion in each scene into data. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce aftereffects
Deep Color
VIERA faithfully reproduces all the colors inherent in today's most advanced image sources, such as Blu-ray Discs and DVDs. Use an HDMI cable to connect VIERA to the playback device, and you'll enjoy the kind of rich, vibrant colors that make viewing such a pleasurable experience
Long Panel Life, Up to 100,000 Hours
One important way consumers can protect the environment is by choosing high-quality products and taking care of them so they last for a long time. A high-quality VIERA HDTV can help. Thanks to a newly designed phosphor process and rear panel process, our plasma panels last for up to 100,000 hours before the brightness decreases by half. That's more than 30 years of viewing 8 hours a day.
Mercury and Lead Free Plasma Display Panel
Panasonic is committed to making our products more friendly to the environment. In line with this commitment, all VIERA plasma display panels are free of both lead and mercury. This reduces impact on the environment years down the road when the TV is recycled or retired from use.
x.v.Color
VIERA models with x.v.Color compatibility reproduce all of the vibrant color in images recorded by wide x.v.Color gamut compatible camcorders. These rich, vivid images are a feast for the eyes.
EASY IPTV
Simply press the VIERA Tools button on the remote control to directly access a variety of Internet services. Enjoy online music and movies with ease.
DLNA / Wi-Fi Ready
Connect a DLNA-compatible VIERA and DLNA-compatible AV equipment to your home network, and you can watch movies, listen to music, and view photos from any room in the house. VIERA's Wi-Fi capability gives you even more layout flexibility. *Must have wireless USB adapter for Wi-Fi, such as DY-WL10

| 43 of 45 people found the following review helpful:  Panasonic has been good to me, By Gerard (Iowa , United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Panasonic VIERA TC-P60S30 60-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV (Electronics) I have a 3 year old 50" Panasonic plasma and decided to go to 60". This TV is actually lighter and thinner. Some things to be aware of before purchase include: 1) My 50" had a recessed area in the back for the cable connections and a low profile wall mount worked great. This 60" TV needs clearance for the cables. I have it about 1 inch away from the wall and the cables are smashed at the connection point. 2) My 50" had a matte screen option that I paid a little extra for and really liked. This 60" screen is a little more glossy. I have it in a room with lots of daylight and there is some reflection. The bezel around the screen is high gloss black with the bottom center fading into a brushed silver to highlight the Panasonic logo. The thing I do notice when the TV is off is a few wavy lines of distortion on the semi glossy screen. This distortion appears to be under the front glass. It has absolutely no effect on the picture when the TV is on...

I hooked my computer up to it and use it as a 60 inch monitor. Movies never looked so good. Watching them off the computer is way better because you get true 1080p without the annoying showtime, movie channel, stars/encore logos and advertisements of upcoming shows at the bottom of the screen. Someone needs to knock sense into these cable companies and remind them that when people pay an additional cost for a premium channel there should not be any ads/logos without question. Plus no cable companies currently offer higher than 720p/1080i. I was looking at the 65 inch and thought.. forget it! since it's "64.7" inches diagonal and the 60 inch is "60.1" diagonal. $1000+ more for 4.6 extra inches is barely noticeable, but the hole in your pocket would be. The built in 20watt speakers are better than you would think. It is always better to have surround sound though, but if you can't do it right away you won't be disappointed by the built in speakers. This Panasonic... Read more 24 of 25 people found the following review helpful: Pani Plasma's ... It just doesn't get any better for watching sports !, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Panasonic VIERA TC-P60S30 60-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV (Electronics) I use my TV for watching sports, and sports related broadcasts, almost exclusively when using cable. Blu-Ray DVD movies second... and that's about it. I'm not a gamer at all, and gamers may want LED/LCD anyway. This TV (for an Amazon price around $1300 w/ free shipping... it's $1700 in Best Buy) is an excellent choice, if not the best choice available for my style use. My extensive research of all brands before buying, ultimately lead me to this TV. I actually waited till this TV was in stock, having first read about it before being available. It's a 2011 model, and incorporates all my needs regarding multiple HDMI connectivity, wireless internet connectivity for NetFlix and other access via the Viera Tools easy IPTV functions. It's easy to set-up, and easy to navigate and control. As is the case with all new large flat screen TV's, the speakers are adequate. If you're thinking of a large home theater TV, you'll probably be running a separate home theater system/... Read more |
