Motion Picture Pro and Motion Focus Technology - similar to the 32" and 37" Sony XBR6 televisions, people are unclear on whether or not these sets have true 120Hz processing, with no confirmation by Panasonic. What Panasonic does claim is that their Motion Picture Pro, and Motion Focus Technologies achieve the same effect of handling fast motion, and reducing film judder.
Viera Link - this refers to the HDMI-CEC capabilities of the televisions that allows you to control other components in your home theater - e.g. blu-ray players, receivers - from the television itself. This functionality is usually found in more expensive price ranges.
IPS Alpha panel - IPS stands for (In-plane switching) which is a form of LCD technology that allows for greater viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically, without losing visual fidelity. Traditional IPS panels suffer from lower contrast ratio and color vividness compared to the LCD technology used by Sony and Samsung. However, the premium IPS-Alpha panels feature comparable vividness while retaining the wider viewing angles.
