New Panasonic LCD TVs
Six new Viera LCDs have been announced by Panasonic, ranging in size from 15 inches to 32. At the high end are the TH-32LX75 and the TH-32LX75S (pictured), which have a 7,000:1 contrast ratio, and are only really distinguished by a different exterior design. The TH-26LX75S is limited to 6,000:1 contrast, but like the 32-inch sets, is HD-ready and has an HDMI port. HD and HDMI are also featured on the new 23- (TH-23LX70) and 20-inch (TH-20LX70) sets. At the low end is the TH-15LD70, which is barely HD compatible, in that it should support 480p. All the new sets do however use Panasonic's VieraLink technology, which allows control of both TV and audio equipment from the same remote. Prices are only available for the LX75 sets: the 26-inch should cost $1,652, while the 32s are $1,898 and $1,982. [Via Akihabara News]
