Authors: Panasonic has set out its LCD stall for 2009 with 13 new LCD TVs, ranging in size from 19in to 37in. You may ask where are all the bigger 42in and larger TVs but it seems that Panasonic is targeting those segments with its plasma TVs. Topping the line is the V10 Series, a slim Full HD TV boasting Panasonic's 100Hz Intelligent Frame Creation technology and supporting Viera Cast, the company's European-wide service that lets viewers access Internet sites like YouTube and Eurosport. Philips is doing something similar with its Net TV service on new models. The V10 also supports Viera Link, Image Viewer and DLNA, the latter for streaming photos and video from networked devices. The series comprises 32in and 37in models. A step down is the 37in G15 which sports most of the same functionality, including Viera Cast, but has a different stand. The G10 series comes in 32in and 37in sizes, which use IPS Alpha panels with a wider aperture to deliver clearer pictures, a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and wide colour viewing angle. They support Image Viewer and Link facilities, but not Viera Cast. The entry level offering is the S10 Series of Full HD tellys, ranging in size from 32in to 42in, and supporting Viera Link and Image Viewer. Again, no Viera Cast but these TVs are expected to be more gentle on your wallet. . The new X15 and X10 models now boast a new 19in model, to go with the 26in and 32in products while there's also the C10 series of TVs with Eco modes designed to reduce your electricity bill. There's no prices yet but the TVs are launching in the coming months.-Martin Lynch TV HDTV
