You'll notice smoother motio, deeper blacks and increased luminance with a Panasonic TV that has NeoPDP.
NeoPDP TVs use 600Hz Sub-field drive and intelligently create frames to up the number of frames you see and take out the blur.
NeoPDP and Freesat HD
NeoPDP works in conjunction with Freesat HD - a free service which has no subscription charges and allows you to watch HD and freeview channels via a satellite dish. Although there is an installation fee for the dish. NeoPDP combines with Freesat to offer unbeatable motion, even in fast action scenes.
