Panasonic just announced that some of its VIERA models are now DivX certified. Hooray? There are two reasons why this announcement doesn't exactly thrill me.
First of all, we have DivX. I get it, but I am not sure I'd want it enough to buy a new TV. According to Panasonic, the tech will allow viewers to "create and watch content on the PC, living room and on the go." Create? That sounds kind of interesting. However, it doesn't seem like the company plans to supply a software upgrade for consumers that have already purchased one of their pricey, pretty TVs. Lame.
Second, the whole thing is going down in Europe. Apparently, that's where DivX has its own flag or something.
Couple those two reasons with the fact that I don't have money for a new TV now. However, I like to look... and I love to look at Panasonic. They've got good stuff, even when it's not doing the DivX thing.
The new feature will be available on nine models spread out over the VIERA Z1, V10 and G15 series. Panasonic will also start offering VIERA CAST overseas, which offers some nifty web content. That is available now in the U.S.
