How will they get you to buy a new telly if they support older models with firmware upgrades? To be honest I really don't know but I would guess there would be some new hardware like a new decoder chip or the like for the video side of things.

Hi all.
Just a question regarding the new Viera TV's which can view video via the SD card slot.
With the new Panasonic Viera TV's (ie TH-L37x10A) which now have video capability from the SD card slot, and we have a TX-37LZD800A which doesn't have video capability, is it just a firmware thing, or is it a hardware thing, or a combination of both???
We would like to know if it's possible with a firmware upgrade, as the TV is only twelve months old.
Cheers

I seriously doubt the hardware platform would be the same, but one way to find out would be to track down the . You occasionally find them online for some brands too.
Or maybe have a chat with service technicians at your local TV repair shop. They probably won't be interested in cross-model firmware compatitibility but they should be able to get hold of schematics and component lists.
I like my Viera and wouldn't dare risk bricking it. Make sure yours is still within (extended) warranty, and don't break any stickers!![]()
Hey IWAC .How do you find the reliability with the Panasonics, and have you seen any with the red speckle syndrome.
I looked at a few at Dick Smith this week and they do show a nice picture.![]()
