IPS-alpha
Panasonic IPS-alpha panels provide superb viewing from just about any angle. You see bright, vivid pictures without washout not only from left, right, above and below, but also from above left/right and below left/right angles. This expanded viewing-ability makes the IPS-alpha panel ideal for homes where people get together to watch TV. With the Viera IPS-alpha full-HD LCD panel, colours appear rich and vivid even when viewed from a sharp angle. Everyone in the room gets a great view.
Unlike conventional LCD panels, IPS liquid crystal molecules rotate parallel to the screen so there is less difference in contrast regardless of the viewing angle. This panel has a viewing angle of 178 degrees both vertically and horizontally eliminating faded images that can occur by viewing the panel from certain seating positions. The extra-wide viewing angle makes Panasonic Viera LCDs perfect when watching TV with the whole family or friends.
