Panasonic’s CEDIA booth featured two new value-priced additions to the company’s expanding line of 1080p-resolution plasma televisions. The 42-inch Panasonic TH-42PZ77U and the 50-inch TH-50PZ77U utilize the same panels used in the company’s 700-series of 1080p plasma televisions, and include two HDMI ports as well as an SD memory card slot for viewing digital images. Cost reductions of the new PZ77-series televisions were achieved by incorporating a different speaker package and eliminating the VGA port. Also, the 700-series’ anti-reflective screen coating has been changed to an anti-glare screen coating on the PZ77U-series televisions. Available later this month, the TH-42PZ77U and TH-50PZ77U will carry a suggested retail price of $1,799.95 and $2,799.95, respectively.
