Skype from your large screen TV in High Definition

Today, millions of individuals and businesses use Skype to make free video and voice calls. Now Panasonic HDTV* owners can make free Skype-to-Skype calls from their large screen TV, which means they can see family and friends on a large screen from the comfort of their living as they talk to them.

Skype is a new addition to Panasonic’s VIERA CAST, an innovative feature on the TV which allows users to access online content directly from the living room via an Internet connection without using a computer, giving users access to YouTube, Eurosport Google’s Picasa Web Albums and many more services.
