Panasonic announces 2007 line of plasmas
Panasonic has announced pricing and availability for it’s 2007 Plasma HDTV lineup. The lineup includes 1080p models in new 50 and 58-inch sizes, as well as a surprise with a 42-inch 1080p model which will be priced around $2500 and released in June. The 42-inch TH-42PZ700U has a 1920×1080p resolution, Built-in NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuners, 3 HDMI inputs and a slew of new additions.
Panasonic has gone and bulked up the whole line, upgrading the PZ700U and PZ750U series adding a couple new ways to calibrate the TV perfectly, 3 HDMI jacks, and a “special” new paint job that has a black chrome look to it. All this comes at a price as the TH-58PZ750U will be retailing at around $5,500 when it hits stores in June.
One feature I thought was interesting was the addition of SD card slots to the whole line, but the PZ750U models bring that one step further with the ability to play H.264 video off of the cards. This is a great feature and a much appreciated one for people like myself, too lazy to convert the video and burn it to DVD.
