Viera Tough Panel
The plasma’s protective panel provides high resistance to impacts and scratches. The front of the TV is covered by a tough glass layer, for extra assurance just in case something hits it. What's more, the protective panel makes cleaning easier too; simply wipe the panel with a soft cloth when necessary.
Environmental consideration starts with the design stage, because Panasonic cares about the future of our earth. Lead-free plasma panels and an improved panel life are examples of how Viera production helps to conserve the earth and its resources. What’s more, functions now include a new ECO mode to help lower power consumption.
Lead-Free Panel
Panasonic is making products friendlier to the environment. All Viera plasma display panels are lead-free. This reduces the impact on the environment when recycling or disposing of them in the future. About 4 million plasma TVs were produced in 2006. Whilst 2006 plasma display panels contained 70 grams of lead, lead-free Viera models contain 0 grams. This could constitute a reduction of 280 tons of lead per year.
Eco Mode
The TV adjusts the picture settings automatically depending on the ambient lighting conditions. The image brightness changes according to the level of room lighting to achieve an energy-saving operation.
Up to 100,000 Hours Plasma Display Life
The plasma display panel used in the 2008 Viera Plasma Television range is rated for up to 100,000 hrs. (This measurement is based on the time taken for the brightness of the panel to reduce to half of its maximum level. The time taken to reach this level may vary depending on the image content and the environment where the television is used).
