hello I'm the Westway casino here at CES 2013 taking a look at Panasonic's flagship LED televisions this is the WT 60 series okay so this television comes in two sizes you can have it in either 47 inches or if that's not quite big enough it comes in a 55 inch model as well let's take a look at the design for a moment because I really really love this slim metallic bezel and I'm particularly enamored I have to say with this glass effect stand it it gives the TV a kind of floating effect that I think is quite attractive something else to keep an eye on up here while we're speaking about design is this camera this is a webcam that pops up so that you can do Skype chats and stuff using your TV and it should pop up automatically which is good news saves you a few seconds of precious effort in terms of display technology we've got local dimming kicking off in here we've also got Panasonic's clear panel Pro text now it has to be said that previous versions were a little bit dodgy when it came to black levels so it remains to be seen whether these new versions can impress us and win our hearts back elsewhere you get all the modern comforts of a swanky Internet connected television so you get VIERA Connect which is Panasonic's smart TV system that will give you web browsing apps we've already mentioned Skype you also get voice interaction so you can bark orders or your television if it's not doing what you think it should and you get swipe and share which means you can theme video photos things like that from your smartphone onto your television so an early thumbs up from me on the design let's hope that the picture quality can measure up there's no word on pricing but it'll be out around springtime so we don't have very long to wait I'm the Westway for CNET and this is the Panasonic W T 60 LED series
