A Display device that is HD Ready means that it meets a set of requirements needed to show protected High Definition content.
Freeview is a free digital UK terrestrial TV service offering over 30 TV channels and 20 radio stations, using the DVB-T standard. With a Freeview enabled TV, you wont need a set top box as the tuner is built in. Freeview is received through your normal rooftop aerial, visit www.freeview.co.uk to check that you can receive it.
The Award winning Panasonic Viera Range is distinguished by superior technology, striking good looks, V-Real image processing technology, Integrated Freeview, and highly convenient, unique HDAVI control.
The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a set-top box, a DVD player, or an A/V receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a Digital TV.
1080p HDTV''s deliver more detail, which can enhance the viewing experience for more attentive visual persons, but it takes the right distance from the TV and a fine eye to truly appreciate it. The most important factor is to view the color, how the TV handles black coloring, the contrast, and most importantly, what you will mainly use the TV for before you make a judgment.
"There's a really wide range of tones on show,
most of which look likeably natural"

Featuring a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, the LZD80 is a set that really shines when hooked up to a HD source such as a Blu-ray player, XBox 360 or Playstation 3 which all support the full 1080P resolution. But don't worry, although most TV channels are waiting to jump aboard the HD wagon, services such as the BBC have HD content on satellite and freeview, so you can enjoy all the details without any of the fuss.
Not only that, you can enjoy the beautiful cinematic reproduction of movie images. The images that are recorded onto movie film at 24 frames per second (fps) are reproduced at two times that speed by 24p Playback. This achieves a more genuine film-like reproduction.
Improved panel contrast combines with the I.S.C.(Intelligent Scene Controller) to achieve a high, 10,000:1 contrast ratio (Dynamic mode only) to give the kind of expressive power that will thrill all science-fiction/horror fans out there as even the darkest scenes are elaborately detailed.
In addition to brilliant picture quality, the LZD80 offers the wireless control made possible by VIERA Link. VIERA Link lets you operate other connected Panasonic AV components using only the VIERA TV's remote control unit.
You can also view a slideshow of your photos on VIERA's big beautiful screen just by simply removing the SD memory card from your digital still camera, and slip it into the SD Card Slot on the side.
All this and a pedestal included in the box! I'll have three please.
