The internet and TV are going to get married, everyone knows that; but which brand will take the initiative to make this match made in heaven come true? It's Matsushita, also known as Panasonic. Panasonic and YouTube have announced plans to bring big screen High Definition TV viewers quick and easy access to YouTube directly from Panasonic’s new VIERA PZ850 line of Plasma Internet-connected HDTV’s. The new VIERA HDTV’s, equipped with VIERA CASTTM, also includes easy and seamless access to Picasa Web Albums, a free online photo-sharing service from Google.

"We are thrilled to introduce Panasonic VIERA PZ850 series Internet-Connected HDTV’s with virtual one-click access to YouTube and Picasa Web Albums from Google,” said Toshihiro Sakamoto, President of Panasonic AVC Networks Company. “This is the first time mainstream consumers will be able to easily enjoy YouTube videos from the living room with the enhanced quality of a fully integrated widescreen TV experience. YouTube is already a huge worldwide sensation, and Panasonic VIERA Internet-connected HDTV’s will greatly expand users’ entertainment options.”

The first generation of Panasonic VIERA PZ850 series Internet-connected HDTV’s will be available to consumers in spring 2008.
