Panasonic has launched its 65-inch mammoth TV in the UK.

The TH-65PX600B incorporates V-REAL technology for full high-definition images. Viera TV use all-digital video signals to create crisp and smooth images with true, rich blacks. Able to display true 1080p resolution, the TV is capable of upscaling standard inputs from DVD players and other devices to near-HD quality.

Real Gamma Control yields images with sharp detail, while 16-bit video processing reproduces images with 4096 steps of gradation. The Real Black Drive System and New Deep Black Filter achieves rich blacks, while a 5,000:1 contrast ratio ensures a high dynamic range.

Other features include a Sub-Pixel Controller to eliminate jagged lines, noise reduction technology, three HDMI inputs for various high-def input devices, an SD card slot, and a PC input terminal.

High-quality sound is provided by a 3-way speaker system combining a woofer, squawker, and 5cm tweeter. SRS TruSurround XT supposedly expands the acoustic field to make virtual 5.1 channel surround effect.
