With 50in, 42in and 37in models and all new panels along with improved contrast ratios, Panasonic has announced their new PX80 series of Plasma screens.

The PX80 line from Panasonic features an improved native contrast resolution of 15,000:1, an SD memory card slot, Game Mode, VIERA Link™ along with 3 HDMI inputs.

The new panels will replace Panasonic's highly successful PX70 range, and as an entry level offering will retain the 720p, 1024 x 768 resolution of the outgoing screens.

With an extra HDMI input and improved sonic abilities, the TH-42PX70 has already been upgraded to the TH-42PX700.

The PX80 plasma range goes on sale in Japan this month and although no definite announcement has made, expect to see the new screens appear in the UK later this year.
