Moins cher que le Panasonic NeoPDP Z1, le V10 n'en est pas moins richement équipé.
Plasma plus abordable que le NeoPDP Z1, le V10 en reprend les principales caractéristiques : dalle Full HD d'un contraste de 2000000:1, TNT HD, 600 Hz SFD avec 24p Real Cinema, 100 Hz, Viera Cast, DLNA et DiVX sur le lecteur SD.
Il ne fait finalement l'impasse que sur le Wireless HD, et sur son épaisseur qui passe de 2,5 à 5 cm. Cette économie se ressent sur le prix de vente qui baisse considérablement par rapport au NeoPDP Z1.
The much awaited USB 3.0 specification should turn up in devices by the end of this year, or early next. In theory a data transfer speed of up to 4.8 GB ( 600 MB/s) is announced. This is ten times faster than the current USB 2.0 standard. TG Daily reports on a USB 3.0 hard drive prototype presented at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The prototype hard drive reached 1320 Mb/s (165 MB/s) in read operations and 1000 Mb/s (125 MB/s) in write processes. This is partly due to the type of hard disk used, qualified as "very fragile" but it does give an insight to the level of performance one can expect. These results are about 5 times superior to the best ones we got with USB 2.0 in our tests.
By the time of the official launch, it is likely that transfer speed will have improved. As with USB 2.0, it will then take some years before manufacturers can use a bandwith closer to the one announced.

Le V10 est attendu en mai 2009 en 42 et 50 pouces (107 et 127 cm)pour des prix respectifs de 1800 et 2300 euros.
Attention : le V10 sera également décliné dans une version LCD. Il ne faudra pas les confondre !
