Internet-Ready Television (US Only)
Internet-ready TVs use your broadband connection to deliver dynamic content, whether it’s streaming video from Netflix, new music from Pandora, or a quick glance at today’s weather forecast.
Although there is overlap, each manufacturer offers a unique bundle of free or paid services, including streaming video and music, social networking apps, online photo galleries, news and financial updates, weather info, sports scores, and a variety of other smartphone-like applications.
Manufacturers continue to add new content to their offerings, keeping customers current through firmware updates, and making a bit of research a prudent step in your buying decision.
Learn more about Internet TVs, how they work, what services are offered by different manufacturers, and exactly what you’ll need to get started at our Internet TV 101 customer center.
Note: Panasonic’s EASY IPTV™ television applications are embedded and no new apps can be added. Currently available services in Canada are CinemaNow, SHOUTcast Internet Radio, and Facebook.
Saving energy never looked better. VIERA E3 Series LED HDTVs offer an IPS LED LCD panel, which include new technology that offers amazingly high levels of brightness and energy saving efficiency in a VIERA LCD HDTV.
Panasonic Features
VIERA Image VIEWER™
Equipped with an SD card slot, VIERA makes it easy to view full-HD photos and motion images that you shot yourself. Simply insert the SD memory card into the slot, and you’re ready to view your photos and full-HD videos on the big screen. You can make your slide shows even more impressive by adding background music and attractive frames. With VIERA’s big screen and superb image quality, family and friends will love sharing your memories.
VIERA Link™
VIERA Link simplifies the operation of a variety of AV devices, so you can operate them all using only the VIERA remote control. Setup is easy–simply connect the devices to each other via HDMI cables.
New IPS Alpha Panel Design
Superb motion-image response has been achieved by narrowing the gaps between the liquid crystal cells and modifying the liquid crystal materials in the IPS Alpha Panel. This new design offers inherently better high-speed response. An original Panasonic drive system also minimizes the mutual interference between left and right-eye images. As a result, crosstalk is greatly reduced, and 3D images are incredibly clear.
EASY IPTV™
Simply press the VIERA Tools button on the remote control to directly access a variety of Internet services. Enjoy online music and movies with ease.
Note: In Canada only Facebook™, CinemaNow™, and ShoutCast™ are available.
LED Backlight
This system places LED backlights on the top and bottom of the panel, and sends the light toward the center of the screen. Using light guides and diffusers, it distributes the light over the entire panel to provide backlighting. There is no need to cover the entire rear surface with LEDs, so the panel module is thinner and a great deal of energy is saved.s
Intelligent scene controller
Enjoy realistic starlit skies right in your living room. Improvements in panel contrast and scene-adaptive contrast gamma correction have achieved a high contrast. The backlight tuning area is also expanded to achieve deeper blacks.
DLNA / Wi-Fi Ready*
Connect a DLNA-compatible VIERA and DLNA-compatible AV equipment to your home network, and you can watch movies, listen to music, and view photos from any room in the house. VIERA’s Wi-Fi capability gives you even more layout flexibility.
*Optional wireless LAN adaptor required
