The Panasonic TH-42PX77U is part of the TH-PX77U series, and comes in at a large 42-inches and features an anti-glare plasma screen, deep black and great colors. Cnet have been lucky enough to get their hands on the TH-42PX77U for a review, where they say, with a native resolution of 1,024×768, the Panasonic TH-42PX77U matches the resolution of just about every available 42-inch plasma today. Of course, that’s not quite enough pixels to display every detail of 720p HDTV, but the image is still plenty sharp.

The Panasonic TH-50PF9UK is a 50-inch plasma HDTV, which is only the second full 1080p HD 50-inch plasma to hit the market after the Pioneer’s PRO-FHD1. The TH-50PF9UK is Panasonic’s professional line, so the set does not come cheap, but does offer excellent image quality. Cnet have taken a close look at the TH-50PF9UK and say the exterior is finished in a very dark gray, and other than the Panasonic name below the center of the screen and the power light all the way to the left, there is nothing else to distinguish it. The all-screen look results in relatively tiny overall dimensions for a 50-inch plasma: 47.6×28.5×3.7 inches (WHD) for the panel itself, with a weight of 81.6 pounds.

Panasonic have announced a new type of LCD HDTV featuring Luxim’s revolutionary long-life LIFI, the models experience an especially long life span with brightness that will never fade, eliminating the need for lamp replacement. When the electrodes in HID lamps deteriorate and the tungsten evaporates, it causes diminished brightness, as well as damage to the lamp itself.

The LIFI sets will be of two series, the LCZ and the LCX. They will be available in 50-inch, 56-inch and 61-inch sizes and feature a new floating panel design.

The 32LXD600’s fascia also immediately reveals a key feature plus: the addition of an SD card slot. This slot isn’t just there for playing back digital photos from SD cards either; it can also record TV shows in MPEG4 for playing back later on, say, a portable video device.

The HDMIs warrant closer attention, for they’re HDAVI compatible. Which is Panasonic’s fancy name for the fact that they permit enhanced communication with other Panasonic HDMI source equipment. So the TV could be used, say, to activate a few functions on a connected Panasonic DIGA DVD recorder.
