Dynamic Contrast 2.000.000:1 with IPS LED LCD Technology
Both high contrast and energy-saving efficiency have been achieved in the IPS LED LCD TV by combining the IPS panel, which is known for its wide viewing angle, with a bright, energy-efficient LED backlight. Even dark scenes like night skies are naturally rendered with delicate shades of black. The Intelligent Scene Controller further boosts the image quality.
Intelligent Frame Creation Pro
Even fast-moving scenes are displayed sharply and clearly. With a 50Hz video signal input, Intelligent Frame Creation Pro makes 100 frames/second from 50 frames/second. This increases the frame count to allow natural frame-to-frame transitions, for smooth motion images with high resolution. VIERA also uses motion focus technology to greatly enhance resolution.
Wide Viewing Angle
The wide 178°* viewing angle ensures clear images even when viewed from an angle. The backlight's wide transmission aperture enhances the contrast between light and dark, and improves motion-image response.
* Measured at an angle where the contrast ratio is 10:1 or higher.
24p Smooth Film
Enjoy naturally flowing 24p films and familiar TV-like quality. This mode optimises the number of frames of 24p images recorded from film media such as a Blu-ray Disc™. Advanced source analysis and frame generation produce smooth images that are faithful to the original.
Rich and Natural Bass Sounds
The speaker construction in the LCD V Series has been improved, resulting in the production of natural acoustics and rich bass sounds despite the slim design of these models.
Acoustic, high-quality, natural sound reproduction.
