VIERA TH-L42D25

The IPS panel, which is known for its wide viewing angle and excellent light transmittance, is now further enhanced with a bright, energy-saving LED backlight. Images do not fade when viewed from an angle, and contrast is higher than in previous IPS models in spite of using less power. The IPS LED LCD TV offers superb colour rendering and also contributes to the display&s slim design.

Even fast-moving scenes are displayed sharply and clearly. With a 50Hz video signal input, 100Hz Motion Picture Pro makes 100 frames/second from 50 frames/second. This increases the frame count to allow natural frame-to-frame transitions, for smooth motion images with high resolution. VIERA also uses motion focus technology to greatly enhance resolution.

Both high contrast and energy-saving efficiency have been achieved in the IPS LED LCD TV by combining the IPS panel, which is known for its wide viewing angle, with a bright, energy-efficient LED backlight. Even dark scenes like night skies are naturally rendered with delicate shades of black. The Intelligent Scene Controller further boosts the image quality.

The wide 178°* viewing angle ensures clear images even when viewed from an angle. The backlight&s wide transmission aperture enhances the contrast between light and dark, and improves motion-image response. *Measured at an angle where the contrast ratio is 10:1 or higher.

Enjoy Internet content right on your TV. With VIERA CAST technology, you can enjoy online content such as videos, photos, weather and stock information through an easy-to-use Web interface that&s built into the TV. Other services are also becoming available, one after another, such as "tweeting" web communications via Twitter™ and home video and audio conferencing with Skype™. In addition, VIERA CAST provides USB terminals for a USB Keyboard and Communication Camera. No PC required.
