CES NEWS: Panasonic extends Viera brand to all its flat TVs, and launches 21 new models
If it's a Panasonic flatscreen TV, it's now a Viera - the company has extended its sub-brand to cover all its flatscreen televisions.
And it's launching no fewer than 16 plasmas and five LCD screens at the CES show, including new sizes for the company.
Pictured is one of the new screen size - it's the 46in TH-46PZ800 (there's also a PZ80 version) - while Panasonic is also extending its LCD line to 37in, with two new models, the TC-37LZ85 and TC-37LZ800.
In fact, the Panasonic US line-up comprises no fewer than five complete ranges. The flagship is the full 1080p Z850 series, comprising 46-, 50-, 58- and 60-inch models. They include features such as IPTV access, 30,000:1 contrast ratio, four HDMI connections and SD card slots, as well as THX certification for video and a Pro Setting Menu, enabling users to access calibration software.
The company is making a big play of the SD card across its range: it's launching a new 32GB SD card, able to hold over five hours of HD television.
The entry-level LCD models include 720p 26- and 32-in models, as well as the 1080p TC-LZ85. The more upmarket premium LCD range features four HDMI inputs in place of the lesser models' three, and a new 'one sheet of glass' styling job.

jus found some more info on the u.s pansonic
www.aving.net/.../default.asp
so do we know the retail uk prices yet for this awesome loking range ?
just had a look at pany's press release and it looks as though they are dropping the 37" plasma in favour if the 37" LCD. Shame on them!!!
Is there anywhere to see the full spec's on these new models so I can plan ahead on what am changing too?
We're on the case today tracking down the details of models that'll come to the UK - but don't expect any new sets before March, as Panasonic isn't having its European launch until mid-February.
been in touch with panny uk and all they will say is the 46" might not be comming to the uk and that they will know for deff end of march what is and isnt being released this side of the water!, no mention of the 37" plasma -- says it all
I cant believe they're cutting out the 37" plasma I know they said its more cost effective to make the 37"lcd at full hd than it is to make the plasma y 37" full hd,
and they should release the 46" here too I've been asked for a 46" screen on so many occassions,
yeah its usually april that they release the new range in the uk? cant wait to get them all in and on display
:D
