The ultimate in plasma TV image quality, and a new larger screen size: new
and improved Panasonic imaging technologies combine to achieve both the industry's
highest gradation and outstanding 3,000:1 contrast. The accuracy and
detail Panasonic displays provide cannot be adequately expressed by specifications
alone. Their overall image quality goes far beyond conventional standards,
delivering a plasma TV picture with the kind of breathtaking beauty that stirs
emotion. Panasonic continues to impress with an expanded line of interchangeable
terminal boards and usability functions, resulting in a flexible, easy-to-use
plasma display that simply must be seen to be believed.
Stunning 3000:1 Dark-Area Contrast - New Real Black Drive
System By reducing the pre-discharge emission when reproducing black, the
New Real Black Drive System from Panasonic Plasma TV provides deeper, richer
blacks and a stunning 3000:1 contrast. The result is dramatically enhanced
image clarity and realism.
Even Higher Bright-Area Contrast — Deep Black Filter The
front protective glass of the plasma display panel incorporates a Deep Black
Filter that suppresses light transmittance and slashes the amount of external
light reflected. This helps Panasonic plasma displays achieve the industry's
highest level of contrast when viewed in bright surroundings.
2,048 Shades of Gradation in Dark Scenes — New Super Real
Gamma System In scenes with low brightness levels, the New Super Real Gamma
System reproduces gradation in steps equivalent to 2,048 shades. In other
words, this original, non-linear signal processing system provides superior
performance at brightness levels where the human eye sees best. As a result,
it adds subtle nuances to darker scenes and gives images greater depth.
10% Brighter Images — New MACH Panel with Bounded Cell Structure
The New MACH (Multifacet Asymmetrical Configuration Hyper-pixel) Panel in
this Panasonic Plasma TV features a bounded cell structure in which wall-like
ribs are used to wrap each individual cell. By increasing the area in which
the phosphor can be applied, this dramatically improves both light-emitting
efficiency and intensity. Furthermore, improvements to the drive circuit and
plasma gas inside the panel have enabled Panasonic to boost peak brightness
while actually lowering power consumption compared with our previous models.
As a result, peak brightness is boosted by 10% compared with a previous Panasonic
plasma TV model. The new panel structure boasts a long service life of 60,000
hours: A newly developed phosphor also raises the plasma displays' resistance
to static-image screen burning to the same level as CRT displays.
High-Contrast Images with a High S/N Ratio — Adaptive AGC Our previous automatic
gain control (AGC) detected the brightness level of the entire image, then
boosted it as necessary. This had a drawback, in that it tended to increase
noise and black-out parts of the image where the video signal did not require
boosting. Adaptive AGC raises contrast while suppressing noise by detecting
and boosting only the image edges.
Cleaner Moving Images — High-Precision MPD Noise Reduction This newly developed
technology dramatically reduces MPD (Motion Picture Disturbance) noise to
deliver crisp, clean moving images. Using a Panasonic original algorithm,
it detects motion patterns that tend to generate noise and makes the necessary
adjustments to maximize image quality. And it does this without diminishing
the quality of stationary objects, such as those in the background.
Vibrant Colors and Natural Skin Tones — 3D Color Management System 3D Color
Management System is a new correction process that works in a three-dimensional
color matrix (hue, saturation, and brightness) rather than the conventional
two-dimensional color difference plane. By correcting hue and brightness independently
and providing finer control, this process delivers vibrant colors and natural
skin tones.
Better Vertical Resolution — Active I/P Conversion The Active
I/P (Interlace/Progressive) Conversion system detects slow movements more
precisely by increasing the range for detecting moving-picture and still-picture
pixels. This reduces I/P conversion noise that often occurs when reproducing
tiny movements, thereby producing crisper images while raising the vertical
resolution in interlaced images. |
