No, Panasonic says. Despite earlier claims of frozen development,  the company's merchandising VP Henry Hauser is emphatic that there  remains "room for further improvement" in the plasma realm, and that  Panasonic fully intends to develop upgrades. The Viera ZT series  we saw at CES will be a launchpad for future work, according to the  executive. Hauser's full statement awaits after the break if there are  any lingering doubts; for now, it appears that Panasonic values plasma's  distinct qualities as much as the next basement movie maven.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">  <span>"Reports that<span> </span><span>Panasonic</span><span> </span>will no longer develop and manufacture Plasma HDTVs are not correct.<span> </span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">  <span>"This week in New York City,<span> </span><span>Panasonic</span><span> </span>demonstrated  the latest development of our gapless Plasma panel technology in our  2013 Smart VIERA ZT Series Plasma HDTV.

Its highly anticipated line of 2013 TVs will begin  shipping this month in the U.S., beginning with the LED 8000-series and  the Plasma 8500-series.<br />     "The TV industry is  undergoing a sea change in both content and technology. Although  consumers can now access a plethora of content from myriad sources,  finding and choosing their favorite content has become even harder. Our  2013 Smart TVs make it easy for you to spend less time searching for  shows and movies, and more time discovering and watching the content you  love," said Joe Stinziano, Executive Vice President, Samsung  Electronics America. "Samsung has also created an evolutionary TV, so  the TV that consumers buy today will transform into the TV of tomorrow.  Thanks to the world's first Smart Evolution Kit, consumers will have the  latest features and they won't be left behind."<br />     The  2013 line up of TVs represent Samsung's sixth generation of Smart TV.  While features vary by model, highlights of select products include:<br />     A  redesigned Samsung Smart Hub that offers five dynamic menu panels to  help consumers manage and navigate different types of content.<br />    With S-Recommendation, consumers can easily find the content they want –  whether on TV or via premium VOD services – thanks to personalized  recommendations based on their viewing habits over time.<br />    Outstanding picture quality across the 2013 lines.

It eliminates the need to navigate through  myriad sources and options, and provides a simple way to manage content  from one central location. Available on select 2013 TVs, Blu-ray players  and home theater systems, the new Smart Hub draws inspiration from how  consumers interact with mobile devices by offering intuitive controls  and a one-of-a-kind user experience. The easy-to-navigate interface  organizes content on five dynamic panels, including Smart TV program  guides, video-on-demand, apps, social and personal content. These panels  include:<br />     On TV – shows the channel that is  currently playing as well as the most relevant, personalized suggestions  that may be airing shortly based on consumer viewing habits<br />    Movies & TV Shows – an easy view of movies and TV services and  over-the-top content that are available from various content providers.<br />   Music, Photos & Clips – allows consumers to organize personal  content and files on Samsung Smart TVs and other linked devices<br />    Social – highlights user created content from friends and family,  popular videos from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and video call services<br />   Smart TV Apps – organizes downloaded Samsung Apps and recommendations for easy access<br />     Samsung  has also created the first-ever recommendation engine for TVs to help  consumers navigate the overwhelming amount of content available.  Samsung's S-Recommendation gives consumers a unique way of discovering  content based on their personal preferences. It analyzes consumers' past  viewing habits over a period of six months to "learn" their preferences  so that it can recommend similar content. The recommendations are  provided from a variety of sources, including broadcast television as  well as streaming services.<br />     Smart Interaction has  also been upgraded with the ability to recognize natural language use  (such as full phrases) as well as more casual hand movement (like  swiping to change screens).<br />     To ensure consumers  continue to enjoy the best experience from their Samsung TVs, Samsung's  Smart Evolution Kit, an industry first, offers a cost-effective way for  consumers to update their TVs with the latest technologies and features.  The kit fits into the evolution slot on the back of 2012 Samsung 7500  and 8000 Series LED TVs, as well as Samsung Series 7000 and 8000 Plasma  TVs, and updates them with some of the latest features and functions  included in the newest Samsung models. 2013 F7500 LED and above and  F8500 Plasma TVs also include a Smart Evolution slot.<br />     The  2013 Smart Evolution kit includes a quad-core processor, GPU and memory  for faster processing and multi-tasking, the updated Smart Hub and the  latest picture display software. The Smart Evolution Kit is packaged  with the 2013 Smart Touch Remote, and will be available in May for  $299.99.<br />     Bigger Is Better<br />     For  consumers that desire the very best in home entertainment, Samsung's S9  UHD TV represents an industry breakthrough both in picture quality and  design. Samsung's Precision Black Pro technology delivers deep, real  blacks and pure vivacious whites, while the combination of an extremely  high contrast ratio and Ultimate Dimming control functionality means  consumers will experience the sharpest resolutions ever seen on large  format displays. In addition, Samsung's proprietary up-scaling engine  up-converts HD or Full-HD to UHD-level picture quality by restoring  detail information to create greater precision and real-life picture  quality.<br />     The S9's 3-way 2.2 channels of 120 watt  sound also delivers an audio experience that is six times better than a  standard TV, so consumers can truly immerse themselves in the  experience, almost like they were in the thick of the action.

The F8500 delivers the same  brightness and eight times the black levels as standard LED TVs, thanks  to Samsung's proprietary Deep Black Algorithm and Real Black Pro II. The  F8500 is also one of the first televisions with native support for  HEVC-encoded content, which delivers the richest, most immersive  content. With Samsung's One Body Form design, the F8500 is created from a  single piece of metal while highlighted with a dark titan metal color  for a futuristic design. The F8000 will be available this year in  several size classes ranging from 51" to 64" at varying price points.<br />     The Ultimate Sound Experience with Samsung's Vacuum Tube Technology<br />     Samsung  unveiled its unique vacuum tube amplifiers in 2012 with its wireless  audio docks. The vacuum tube offers audiophiles the best of both worlds –  the warm richness of a tube amplifier with the power and precision of  digital technology. The company today demonstrated a continued  commitment to raising the bar in quality audio by expanding the line of  digital audio products that offer this successful hybrid tube  technology.<br />     New in 2013, Samsung's vacuum tube  technology will be integrated into the HW-F750 soundbar so consumers can  enjoy the rich, powerful sound quality they desire.
