This flagship 2008 Panasonic Viera LCD TV delivers brilliant colours and soulful sounds, but is held back by a less than ideal PC resolution support and a broken anti-judder 24p function.
While it doesn't offer HDMI connectivity, the Xbox 360 HD DVD player matches up well against stand-alone HD DVD players, and it's a relative bargain at AU$249.95.
1080p native resolution promises to deliver every detail of 1080i, the highest-resolution HDTV format, but until now it was only available in DLP and LCoS rear-projection HDTVs and flat-panel LCD HDTVs. Now 1080p is coming to plasma.
The number of pixels on a television panel, or its native resolution, determines the amount of detail you'll see on screen. So, it's worth paying more for higher resolutions... or is it?
HD TV doesn't need to be an incomprehensible morass of technical terms, jargon and marketing hype, but it does have some unique requirements. In this guide, we'll take you through what to expect.
