The TV has a 1080p resolution, a 30,000:1 native contrast ratio, three HDMI inputs, the VIERA Image Viewer and access to VIERA Link. The Profile 2.0 Blu-ray player features PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus technology, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD decoding, memory card and USB slots and support for Panasonic’s VIERA CAST, which means entertainment aplenty from Picasa, YouTube and Amazon Video On Demand. Slap a bow on this baby and you’re done.
