Pioneer plasma Tvs used to rule the plasma Tv roost before they ceased production a incorporate of years ago. Panasonic plasma Tvs have now moved to the top spot. I have all the time preferred an image produced by a plasma television as opposed to a television using Lcd or Led technology. I can understand why a lot people buy Lcd or Led televisions as they yield very sharp, attractive and clear images, but I prefer a more natural image produced on a plasma Tv.
Panasonic has no less than 16 new Viera plasma Tv models in the 2011 line up, with 12 out of the 16 models being 3D capable. All new models arrive between May and August 2011.
Viera models are divided up into 5 series. The Vt30 Series is the top of the range, and the X30 Series is the entry point.
- Vt30 Series
- Gt30 Series
- St30 Series
- U30 Series
- X30 Series

Just like 'smartphones' were introduced years ago, television manufacturers are now introducing 'Smart Tvs' to their lineups. 'Smart' seems to be the in word at the moment!
Panasonic has joined the smart Tv scene, with all 2011 model Tvs contain 'Smart Viera' functionalities. Smart Viera functionalities are based nearby a range of connectivity options and are divided into two versions, depending on model.
The first is 'Viera join together Suite' and the second is 'Easy Iptv'.
Viera join together Suite vs Easy Iptv
What is the divergence between the two? Basically, Easy Iptv is a scaled-down version of Viera join together Suite.
The Vt30, Gt30 and St30 offer the full Viera join together Suite, which allow passage to varied online media and third-party applications such as catch-up Tv, video, music, Internet radio, games and public networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. YouTube, Bloomberg, Picasa, Skype voice and video calling passage are also available.
The lower-end U30 and X30 models highlight Easy Iptv, essentially a scaled-down version of the Viera join together Suite. It provides passage to Facebook and Shoutcast Internet radio.
Media and interactive applications are accessed via a wired or wireless Lan network. You will utilise the Ethernet port on the Tv for a wired relationship but will need to buy the Panasonic wireless Lan adapter for a wireless connection, where the wireless Lan adapter is not included (usually on the cheaper models).
The Vt30, Gt30 and St30 allow Sd Card and Usb hard drive recording. Consumers can narrative content to Usb hard drive or Sd Card from their Tv via the Epg. All Tvs allow Usb and Sd Card playback of stored images and video through Viera Image Viewer.
All models have Dnla networking allowing you to passage your files in DivX Hd, Mkv, Avchd, petition Jpeg, Mp4 and Wmv formats.
