Information on their specific availability is expected to be released closer to the launch dates.Panasonic puts plasma TVs on a dietWe had inklings that thin is in for the HDTV business this year after Consumer Electronics Show (CES), but the sets being shown off at IFA in Berlin this week confirmed it.Panasonic showed off the 50-inch version at CES in January, but brought out 58-inch and 65-inch versions of the startlingly thin TVs at the Berlin tradeshow. Not surprisingly, Panasonic is saying that the sets will not be as heavy as normal plasma TVs. Plus, the prototypes are being integrated with WirelessHD onboard, which means fewer pesky wires.

The XS1 is a mere 23mm thick, and comes in 52-inch or 65-inch panel sizes. This one's actually a real product, but for now only available in the UK beginning this fall. |
