Panasonic Televisions

When is a Panasonic just a Panny?

Dont dismiss Panny. Individuals and the media alike generally dont give Panasonic most of the credit its due. That is, until its display product line is actually viewed; then people will fill with praise for Panasonics fine line of televisions. Panasonic sometimes seems to be all over the map as a consumer electronics firm. The manufacturer fills a variety of niches from the cheaper bargain televisions to some really nice high-end stuff. So much attention is given to Pioneer Elites line of plasma monitors, its easy to forget that some of the nicest and most colossal plasma displays are from the Panasonic brand.
Panasonic was originally founded by Konosuke Matsushita, who started the company when he invented a two-socket light fixture in 1918. This simple design was a breakthrough in its day and lead to one of the worlds largest electronics corporations, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co LTD.

Today Panasonic has deep experience not only with digital TV but also with the digital video broadcasts themselves. Panasonic was called upon by ABC when they wanted to broadcast Monday Night Football and then the Superbowl in High Definition. Panasonic broke new ground with a mobile HDTV production unit. The production unit is a team specializing in recording or re-broadcasting special events in high definition video. Panasonics example has since been followed by networks for HDTV sports broadcasts across North America. Panasonic also released the first universal format digital set top box and the very first consumer HDTV. Both cutting edge breakthroughs were developed in the US where Panasonic has been deeply invested in the research and development of plasma TV technology since its inception. With this kind of experience behind Panasonic, its easy to see why the engineering behind their HDTVs has gained such wide acclaim.

Panasonic currently makes the largest plasma TVs and has received allocades by consumers and media alike. The TH-65PHD7UY is a 65 plasma monitor that comes with PC and component inputs, BNC, RGB, HD-SDI, HDMI, DVI-D and more, making it one of the most flexible plasma monitors made. With up to 3,000:1 contrast ratio, Panasonic placed the benchmark on plasma technologys presentation of dark black. Their plasma monitors display 3.62 billion bright colors for a hyper-realistic look thats so popular in digital television.

Panasonic has products in every field of display technology. Its range includes DLP, LCD projection, both front and rear projection TVs and of course plasma and CRT. No matter what your budget or needs in a TV, Panasonic has something available that fits your budget. Its in Panasonics upper line where its a true stand-out. If youre shopping for expensive plasma monitors try the closest competitor, Pioneer Elite, for comparisons. According to most consumer reviews Panasonic plasma seems to have the nod for delivering deeper blacks with their high contrast technology but Pioneer Elite plasma displays may be all around brighter. Both offer award-winning quality in a digital display, so differentiating between the two will be difficult. You really cant go wrong with either -- theyre both at the top of the plasma technology food chain.
