Amazing color reproduction
The incredible black reproduction of a Panasonic
High-Definition Plasma TV results in
impressive contrast and beautiful, natural colors. So you'll
get warm, accurate skin
tones, gorgeous greens, breathtaking blues and vivid reds. For
color that's as rich and
bold as life itself, look to a Panasonic Plasma TV.
Consistent brightness from any angle
A Panasonic Plasma combines anti-glare and anti-reflection
technology with the natural
light-emitting properties of plasma, to give you a super-wide
viewing range with a crisp,
beautiful image from almost any angle.
Smooth, graceful motion
When you're watching sports or movies with fast-motion
graphics, you want a TV
that can keep up with the action. With over 900 lines of moving
picture, self-illuminating
plasma displays eliminate afterimages in fast-action scenes. So
whether you're watching
a sporting event or an action-packed movie, you'll always get
the most impressive viewing
experience possible.
1,000,000:1 Contrast
The Panasonic's Real Black system (a pre-discharge
suppression system) and
improved panel production processes combine to reproduce
outstanding blacks with superb
contrast. Each image is richly expressive, from bright scense,
like scorching desert
landscapes, to dark cave scenes. Compare the image produced by
conventional HDTV on the
left to the Real Black image produced on the right
More Colors
Viera HDTVs support the xvYCC color profile (Extended YCC
Colorimetry for Video
Applications), or "x.v. color" for short. Standard RGB color
space allows the display
of a portion of the colors that are viewable to the human eye.
The next generation
"xvYCC" color space actually offers an available range of
colors that exceeds what
human eyes can recognize.
• Next-generation "xvYCC" color space supports 1.8 times
as many colors as existing
HDTV signals
• Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately
• Enables displays with more natural and vivid colors
Deep Color
Where x.v. color expands the available range of colors
your HDTV can display,
Deep Color increases the number of colors your HDTV can display
within that range, for
smoother transitions from color to color.
• Lets HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors
to billions of colors
• Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal
transitions and subtle
gradations between colors
• Enables increased contrast ratio
• Can represent many times more shades of gray between
black and white.
Panasonic TH 42PZ85U
Connectivity

high-definition devices and services,
making it easy for consumers to access and enjoy content as
