Panasonic rescuing the reputation of plasma TVs – thinner, more efficient models on the way
Poor old plasma TVs, which have long been tagged as the energy-sucking, gas-guzzlers of the lounge, might be about to have their reputations saved – thanks to Panasonic’s new range.
Panasonic reckons it’s managed to get the energy consumption of a standard plasma TV down by HALF – a move which it’s hoping will boost sales of its TVs by 50% over the coming year, as modern energy-aware shoppers start paying a bit more attention to the numbers on the back of boxes when they buy stuff.
As for the all-important depth issue, Panasonic says it’ll be revealing a plasma range that’s one inch thick, with screen sizes at 50″ and 54″ – and ready for sale in Japan this April. We’ll be back with model numbers and specs as soon as Panasonic firms things up a bit.
