Panasonic Shows off Thin Plasma TV Prototype

LCD TVs aren't the only TVs that can be thin. On Wednesday, Panasonic demonstrated a plasma TV set that is one-third of an inch thin -- or 8.8 millimeters -- at the thinnest part of its profile.

The 50-inch prototype TV supports a resolution of up to 1080 lines, and can either be mounted on the wall or suspended from a ceiling.

The set also comes with support for WirelessHD, which can transmit full HD video, audio and control signals wirelessly, according to Panasonic. That means the tuner box doesn't have to be connected to the TV using wires.

But don't hold your breath for the set to show up in an electronics store near you any time soon. Plasma TVs this thin might not start shipping until 2010, at the earliest, according to Panasonic.

Panasonic Introduces 3D FHD System TV

Today at Consumer Electronics Show home entertainment hardware manufacturers, Panasonic, debuted their complete full-HD 3D home theater system. The system, which is billed as the first full-HD system in the world, comprises of a 103-inch plasma display, and a specialized Blu-ray player capable of delivering two full-1080p images to each eye. The key to Panasonic’s claim of bringing the world’s 100% 3D HDTV system is the Blu-ray player, which processes both the left and right images as if they were coming from two independent players. The other major portion of the equation is a pair of active shutter glasses that synchronize with the display. The display is then capable of delivering the two dedicated images to the corresponding lenses.
