Viera technology renders vivid, true-to-life images on Viera's high-resolution plasma panel. Delivering rich gradation and vibrant, accurate colours, this advanced imaging technology brings out the display's maximum performance.

Viera Link represents a step forward in networking, making it easier than ever to operate equipment connected together. SD Link adds further networking ease and convenience, letting you view still and motion* images from a digital camera and an HD video camera right on the large screen. These two advances deliver a level of image beauty and operating ease suited to today's full-HD age. They prepare you for the next generation of home entertainment.

Panasonic has made advances in more than just image quality and networking ease. Our approach to product safety and the environment has evolved, too. Under the "We Care" concept, we have adopted features such as protective front glass and a lead-free display panel to make our products safer for both people and the environment.

*Only TH-65PZ700A and TH-58PZ700A support AVCHD playback through the SD Card Slot.

A whole new VISUAL ERA.

PZ SERIES FULL HIGH DEFINITION SOLUTION

Viera TVs feature Panasonic's image-enhancing system "V-real Pro II technology", which applies full-digital processing to the 1920 x 1080 high-deﬁnition video signals received from HD broadcasts and Blu-ray discs. Because the signals are processed digitally from initial input all the way to ﬁnal display, there is virtually no loss of image quality. Pictures are exquisitely clear and remarkably detailed, with even delicate textures and patterns visible.
