The 2008 designation of the VIERA brand also marks the introduction of two new screen sizes – a 46-inch Plasma and a 37-inch LCD – giving Panasonic a very deep line of high definition televisions to fit every application the consumer may have. “VIERA signifies a new visual era,” said Dennis Eppel, Panasonic Vice President, Panasonic Display Products Group. “With the VIERA brand crossing our HD flat panel lines, we now have a platform for a consistent marketing program that is built upon Panasonic’s reputation for providing superior picture quality. Panasonic now can offer the consumer their choice from 26-inch to 65-inch TVs, all with a consistent cosmetic appearance. Panasonic has been an industry leader in television technology and as the new era of TVs prepares for the 2009 digital transition, we are confident that Panasonic will remain at the top of the class. Furthermore, with the 2008 Beijing Olympic games on the horizon, Panasonic, as an official Worldwide Olympic Partner, will be positioning the VIERA series HDTV as the Official HD televison of the Olympic Games.”

Hi liebe Community...

Spiele mich mit dem Gedanken meinen alten Panasonic 32" LCD zu verschrotten und
mir einen neuen 42" Plasma von Panasonic zuzulegen...
:love:

Doch würde es mich interessieren worauf sich der 500€ Unterschied der 2 Modelle stützt,
vor allem bildtechnisch...
Fand in der Beschreibung folgende Differenzierung:

Natural Vision Filter PRO
Digital Cinema Colour
Deep Color

Rechtfertigen diese Eigenschaften den Preis, was bewirken sie genau?!?!
Sind die zu erwartenden Unterschiede so groß?
Eure Meinung zu den beiden Geräten?

Vielen Dank an Euch...
Gruß SteppenWolf

wenn du selber mit einer HiDef-Cam (SD- bzw. SDHC-Karte und AVC) aufnimmst oder wirklich ein kalibriertes Bild (Colormanagement) benötigst, dann sind die 500,- Euro gut angelegt. Für den reinen Genuß eines guten Bildes (ohne Direktvergleich) sind sie imho gleichwertig.

Die unterschiedliche Streuscheibe des teureren Modells könnte eine Verbesserung in heller Umgebung bewirken (ist eher LCD-like mit weniger Spiegelung), vor allem wenn der Hintergrund wo du sitzt relativ hell ist. Gerade beim Plasma sollte man selber im relativen Dunkel sitzen (keine Fenster gegenüber dem Bildschirm!)

Gruß thorsten

Wenn du weder AVC über SD(HC) noch das andere Feature benötigst, wirst du mit dem preiswerten glücklich!

Ich mag Plasmas lieber... :confused:
