High Definition Versus Standard Definition
A TV picture is made up of tiny dots called pixels.
A standard definition (SD) TV programme is made up of pixels. SD TVs were all designed with a similar number of pixels to show the programmes in the best quality.
So, because TV programmes have - until recently - been available in standard definition, your large screen, HD Ready TV picture has actually been 'stretched' to fit the screen - losing some of the quality
With freesat, some programmes are broadcast in HD which means they'll fit perfectly on your new Panasonic Viera HD Freesat Plasma TV giving you deeper, richer, more vivid colours. And many programmes are available with stunning surround sound. Overall, HD on freesat gives you an unforgettable TV experienceand with three sizes to choose from the Panasonic PZ81 is the first TV to incorporate Freesat.

With the digital switchover starting area by area in the UK this year we'll soon all be digital. With a new Panasonic Viera HD Freesat TV you'll already be watching digital TV, so as soon as the switchover happens in your area you won't need to do a thing.

Choosing Between Plasma & LCD?
When it comes to making a choice between Plasma and LCD, size matters.
LCD is at its optimum performance up to and including 37", whilst Plasma offers optimum performance at 37" and above. A Panasonic Viera HD Freesat Plasma TV is a perfect example.
Which is more energy efficient, Plasma or LCD?
Both are actually about the same in normal operating conditions. An LCD screen consumption is constant whereas Plasma fluctuates according to the brightness of a scene, eg when a scene is predominantly dark, a Plasma will use less energy. All in all the energy efficiency evens out for Plasma and LCD
Sharpness: Plasma was deemed to provide the best sharpness experience by 61% of respondents compared to 22% for LCD.
Colour: Plasma was deemed to provide the best colour quality by 65% of people with LCD at 24%
Response speed: Plasma was earmarked as providing the best quality for response speed by 62% of people, with LCD scoring 15%, nearly a quarter of respondents believe that both technologies provide a similar performance.
Contrast: According to the survey. Plasma has the best contrast performance (61% indicated that Plasma performed best compared to 26% for LCD)
The Panasonic Viera HD Freesat TV available in three sizes 42inch, 46inch, and 50inch to suit all rooms is a great example of a Plasma TV.
This is the first of its kind. Panasonic Viera Freesat leads the way with a TV with a Freesat Receiver built in. So far no other manufacturer has yet developed and built a TV with built in Freesat receiver
