Know Your Panasonic Projection TV - LCD?With the current migration towards digital television, digital music and digital multimedia, Panasonic, the world famous electronics manufacturers, could not stay away from this sector. Panasonic is famous for its audio and video divisions and for its high-tech electronics division, Technics, who sold above average electronic products. Currently the company offers a complete line-up of digital television sets, ranging from small LCD TVs, to large size plasmas and Panasonic projection TV sets. Projection television is among the latest technologies in the field of digital, high resolution TV and they offer unrivaled video quality, image contrast and brightness, all of which for lower prices compared to plasmas. While quite large in size, projection TVs are based on the same principle as your digital projector, using one or two power lamps to project the image on the huge screen. While Panasonic is one of the largest manufacturers of plasma TV sets in the world, they offer some very interesting and innovative projection TVs. They have developed a brand new technology, called LIFI. Panasonic's LIFI offers several advantages over its competitors, as they promise a longer life span and a more accurate image detail. LIFI in fact stands for Light Fidelity and Panasonic's engineers found out they can obtain perfect images by enhancing the light that reaches their large screen. Having to spread the light across such a large screen is very difficult to obtain from a technological point of view and they have aimed their efforts in obtaining the same quality over the entire screen surface. The PT - 61LCZ70 model is their latest model in their line of projection TVs and it has several advantages compared to other models on the market. It is finished in elegant black and it has a glossy frame around it, so you can put it anywhere: in your living room, in your home theater room or in your office building, as it will fit right up. It has integrated speakers that deliver a very high qualitative sound and if you are not very picky about your sound quality, you can be very satisfied with the integrated audio system. When it comes to its video performance, its resolution numbers are up to the latest trends: the PT - 61LCZ70 offers true full HD resolution, 1080p, allowing you to watch full HD content at its full quality, without any downscaling. Of course, you can still watch 720p HD content or normal DVDs, but its main task is to offer you full HD images. Panasonic advertises a lamp life of over 100,000 hours for all their projection TV based on the LIFI technology, meaning you can actually forget about the lamps in your TV for several years at least. You can upgrade the lamps at anytime and a replacement lamp costs only $300, much lower compared to the competition. If you have any problem at all when installing any model in the Panasonic projection TV line-up, you can call their troubleshooting phone line for full support 7 days a week. |
