The P50C3B has 2 x HDMI inputs. HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface and is a standard used for audio / visual equipment. Like the older scart, HDMI is a port that allows you to connect things like Blu-ray players and games consoles to your television. Unlike scart, they're very easy to plug in - and take up a fraction of the space scart leads do. HDMI allows for HD devices to send high resolution information to the television. HDMI is an uncompressed digital signal, as opposed to previous analog interfaces such as S-Video, component video and composite video. In short, HDMI is the best way to connect your AV equipment and is going to be with us a good way into the future. There's a really good blog post over at Hi-Def hardware if you'd like to find out more.
If the idea of paying a subscription fee each month for HD television programs doesn't appeal then you'll be pleased to know that the Panasonic TX-P50C3B comes with Freeview HD built in. Freeview HD is the high definition big brother to Freeview and allows you to enjoy completely free access to HD stations such as BBC HD and many more. There are currently over 50 Freeview HD stations, with the line-up constantly being revised and added to. Find out what you can watch on Freeview HD here.
If you're into gaming then you'll appreciate the special game mode offered by the P50C3B. Game mode alters the way the TV processes the picture from your games console and means faster response time, and better quality images. This is especially noticeable on an HD gaming console. Game mode optimizes image and sound quality making for the perfect gaming experience. It enhances dark areas and sharpens the picture as well as speeding up image processing.
Viera Image viewer lets you look at your photographs direct on your TV, using an SD card slot in the side. SD cards are used in most modern cameras and TVs such as the P50C3B allow you to enjoy your HD snaps and movies quickly and easily. Read up on Viera Image Viewer on the Panasonic site here.
Viera Link from Panasonic lets you control all your Home Theatre devices with one remote. It's something that's found on many Panasonic products from 2007 onwards. By pressing the Viera Link button on youre remote, you can access to your DVD recorder, Home Cinema, TV and even your iPod using simple on-screen menus. The information is passed along via HDMI cables. There's a good demo of Viera Link in action here:
And there's a lengthy page about how it all works on the Panasonic website here.
