600Mhz NeoPDP

Do you like watching sport and fast action movies? If so, this may be of some interest to you.

Panasonic have recently released the new NeoPDP version of plasma tv's. As HDTV (high definition tv) becomes more popular, the speed of the moving pictures can cause blurred pictures on your tv as it struggles to cope with the fast moving pictures. Panasonic's Viera NeoPDP plasma screens overcome this through introducing the 600Mhz frame drive. This produces unrivalled clarity to your viewing of sports and movies.

HDTV is now becoming more and more widely available. FreeSat offers HDTV programs for free and comes built in to some lcd tv models. The lcd tv's that panasonic have the 600Mhz NeoPDP are the G10 and V10 series. When your choosing your new lcd tv look out for the FreeSat built in symbol and make the most of your viewing experience.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

High Definition Multimedia Interface(HDMI) is the new connections that have been developed to connect your satellite, games consoles, blu-ray player, and digital camera to. The HDMI is just an upgrade to the scart socket at the back of most tv's. The HDMI socket is required to send High Definition pictures between your different devices as previously explained. The old scart lead system can still send these pictures, but your tv will not display them in high definition. When buying a new lcd tv you will find the HDMI socket comes as standard, but the more sockets you have, the more devices you can connect to your lcd tv all in one go. The Samsung PS50B451 model has 3 HDMI sockets at the back of the tv, so it is worth looking at the plasma tv's specification before deciding on your lcd tv model.

Intelligent Sensor (save on power consumption)

Are you keen on reducing your Carbon Footprint and electricity bills?

Tv manufacturers are backing the bid to reduce power consumption. Look out for 50 inch plasma tv's that have built in intelligent sensors that adjust to the rooms environment to cut down on power consumption. LG Electronics have this built into their lcd tv's. Panasonic also have this built in technology built, but they call it the eco mode. This can save up to 55% in power consumption in dark rooms. Just think how much this could save on your electricity bills.
