Internet-connected HDTVs are becoming increasingly popular nowadays, but most of them require additional accessories in order to go online, such as, for example, NETGEAR's N600 wireless dual USB adapter, which was adopted officially by Panasonic for its range of Viera network-enabled TVs.

Delivering high speeds and impressive Wi-Fi ranges for consumers' home networks, the NETGEAR N600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter also features NETGEAR's Push 'N' Connect technology which allows consumers to connect their Panasonic VIERA TV and wireless router with the push of a button and wirelessly stream Internet content to the TV with the VIERA Cast IPTV technology.

The VIERA Cast, which requires no additional equipment or set up, allows consumers to enjoy online content through an easy-to-use web interface that's built into the TV.

"As the line between the TV and the PC continues to blur, we're seeing a steep uptick in the number of consumers that are connecting their TVs to the Internet in order to create a more immersive entertainment experience in the home," said Henry Hauser, Vice President, Display Group, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company.

"We are dedicated to delivering the best entertainment experience possible and the NETGEAR adapter technology enables us to do just that with our Panasonic VIERA televisions and the VIERA Cast IPTV technology," Mr. Hauser added.

"The NETGEAR and Panasonic partnership enables consumers to easily connect their home entertainment devices and access their favorite online content right from their living rooms through the TV. NETGEAR's Wireless Dual Band USB Adapters deliver the speed and reliability needed for video streaming.

This coupled with Panasonic's undisputed leadership and innovation in the HDTV market, makes it possible for any consumer to have an exceptional entertainment experience in the home," commented David Henry, Senior Director of Product Marketing, Home Products, NETGEAR.

Marked by a "Compatible with Panasonic" sticker, the NETGEAR N600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter, which has an MSRP in the US of $79.99, is available now for Panasonic television models worldwide.
