Full 1080p HDTV

In addition to the meaning of 1080p as a display resolution, 1080p is also used to describe video equipment capabilities. Use of 1080p and the closely related 1080p labels in consumer products may refer to a range of capabilities. For example, video equipment that up scales to 1080p takes lower resolution material and reformats it for a higher resolution display.

Anti-Reflective Filter

The Anti-Reflective filter is  a matte screen that makes the TV about as non-reflective as an LCD TV. No other brand of plasma has such a screen, just Panasonic.  The anti-reflective filter allows for viewing in rooms with abundant ambient light. 

3-HDMI inputs

This is a new interface standard for high definition televisions. HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. If you are looking for an high definition television, it should have at least one of these connectors. If you want to connect multiple HD devices, such as a cable box and a high definition DVD player, look for a television with multiple HDMI connections.

VIERA link

VIERA Link is a function that lets you easily operate various AV devices that are interconnected with your VIERA TV, using only the VIERA remote control. You can choose the connection method -- either an HDMI cable or a LAN cable -- to match your devices and applications. You don't have to keep switching remotes to operate each device, so there's no more hassle and operation is easier than ever. Networking your devices with VIERA Link adds both convenience and fun to AV entertainment.
