At the Olympic Games Beijing 2008, Panasonic provided 25 ASTROVISION screens across 18 venues. The newer model ASTROVISION that incorporated high-luminance LED, was significantly leaner and more energy efficient when compared to the model used for Atlanta 1996. During the Games, this new ASTROVISION displayed many inspiring scenes.
