◆ The front protective glass of the plasma display panels incorporate a
Deep Black Filter that suppresses light transmittance and slashes the
amount of external light reflected. This allows the displays to achieve
high contrast ratio when viewed in bright surroundings.
◆ New Real Black Drive System reduces the pre-discharge emission
when reproducing black, providing deeper, richer blacks and a
stunning 4000:1 contrast in SD models, and 3000:1 in HD models.
The result is dramatically enhanced image
◆ They use ultra-precise, 14-bit signal processing to produce vividly rich
details. The Advanced Real Gamma System then takes it another step
further with full-time, full-pixel 1,536-step gradation and 2,048-step
dark-area gradation. This level of gradation brings intricate details and
more faithful color reproduction to all scenes, dark and bright.
◆ The area in which the phosphor can be applied has been increased,
dramatically improving both light-emitting efficiency and intensity.
Furthermore, by optimizing the gas composition ratio, lighting
efficiency has been increased by about 15%. The result is the industry’s
highest level of brightness.
◆ Standard AGC (Automatic Gain Control) detects the brightness level of
the entire image, then boosts it as necessary. However, this increases
noise. Panasonic’s Adaptive AGC raises contrast while suppressing
noise by detecting and boosting only the image edges.
◆ Improvements to the drive circuit and plasma gas inside the panel
have enabled Panasonic to boost peak brightness while lowering
power consumption. They boast a long service life of 60,000 hours.
A newly developed phosphor also raises the displays resistance to
static-image screen burning to the same level as CRT displays.
◆ High-precision MPD (Motion Picture Disturbance) Noise Reduction
detects motion patterns that tend to generate noise and makes the
necessary adjustments to maximize image quality. The result is crisp,
clean moving images. Plus, it doesn’t diminish the quality of stationary
objects, such as those in the backyard.
◆ For vibrant colors and natural skin tones, Panasonic’s 3D Color
Management system works in a three-dimensional color matrix
(hue, saturation, brightness). By correcting hue and brightness
independently and providing finer control, this process delivers
vibrant colors and natural skin tones.
◆ 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.
Highest Picture Quality
Advanced Dual Picture Mode
Panasonic plasma displays feature a new Advanced Dual Picture Mode in addition to the conventional Dual Picture Mode. This new
mode lets you overlay a video image onto a full-screen PC image. For example, you can superimpose text information from a PC over
a video clip, giving you a more effective way to present information. When displaying two separate images, you can select the audio
output from either source (previous models reproduced audio from the main source only). Playing back the audio from the sub-source
can be useful in teleconferencing, for example.
Note: TH-42PWD8UK and 37PWD8UK cannot display two images when both are from component video or RGB (PC) signal sources. The Adv
anced
Dual Picture Mode may not work properly with some video signals and is not available on the TH-32LHD7UY.
