PANASONIC INTRODUCES A FULLY-INTEGRATED HDTV/iPod® PLAYBACK ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM

(Credit: Panasonic) The new line of VIERA X1 LCD televisions feature a fully-integrated iPod entertainment kit. These flat panel televisions will be available in four different screen sizes: The new for 2009 19-inch class (19” measured diagonally) TC-L19X1, TC-L26X1 26-inch class (26” measured diagonally), TC-L32X1 32-inch class (31.5” measured diagonally) and the TC-L37X1 37-inch class (37” measured diagonally).

Each television includes a specially designed external Universal Dock for iPod which allows consumers to enjoy iPod-based music, videos and photos on a larger screen for a more impactful viewing experience. And unlike most other iPod connectivity options, the VIERA X1 and Panasonic’s VIERA Link™ technology provide special interface capabilities that let the consumers manage content playback through intuitive on-screen display using only the VIERA’s remote control.

In addition to the iPod Entertainment Kit, Panasonic’s new VIERA X1 Series LCD TVs are equipped with a full suite of HD entertainment features. The television includes VIERA Image Viewer™ with an SD Memory Card slot for sharing photos with friends and family, a PC input and Game Mode. The X1 series also includes three HDMI inputs which can be controlled by the VIERA Link button on the remote control. All X1 LCD televisions are high definition with 720p resolution, a contrast ratio of 12,000:1.
