| .Real Black Drive System: Panasonic's original Real Black Drive System delivers a significant improvement in black reproduction. Conventional plasma displays tend to illuminate blacks, which lowers the contrast. In Panasonic plasma displays, however, the pre-discharge emission intensity is greatly reduced, and the number of emissions per field is cut from the usual 12 to 1. This dramatically reduces black levels and provides deeper, richer blacks. It also achieves the industry's highest contrast, with a 3000 : 1 contrast ratio. (When there is no peripheral illumination.) |
.Advanced Plasma AI (Adaptive Brightness Intensifier): Panasonic's unique Advanced Plasma AI increases the discharge cycles for dark scenes, and produces extremely precise control of the brightness level. The result is an unprecedented brightness (panel) of 780 cd/m 2 for the TH-42PWD4UY, 650 cd/m 2 for the TH-37PWD4UZ, and 500 cd/m 2 for the TH-50PHD3U. Panasonic plasma display greatly expands the dynamic range of all images, from black to white peak.You get pictures that are exceptionally sharp, natural looking, and bright. | .Advanced Digital Signal Processing | ..Twice as Many Shades of Gray: Because models TH-42PWD4UY and 37PWD4UZ can reproduce approximately 1,024 shades twice as many as our previous systems they offer far superior color gradation, with no banding or coarse transitions. Unlike most conventional plasma displays, Panasonic plasma display faithfully reproduces low-light portions of an image. ( 512 shades for the TH-50PHD3U.) | ..Improved Moving Pictures: Panasonic plasma display provides smooth, natural-looking moving pictures with excellent detail thanks to greatly improved precision in the False-Edge Predictor circuit. This circuit identifies areas where a moving picture is subject to degradation and dramatically reduces the picture noise there. | ..3 Dimensional Progressive Scan: This function turns the interlaced signals used in present broadcasts into the progressive scan signals for optimal performance in the dot matrix system of plasma displays. Our 3 Dimensional Progressive Scan extracts the interpolated pixel data with the highest correlation from a total of 10 lines of image information for three fields (the present field and the fields before and after). This greatly decreases the blurry motion that tends to occur with conventional systems, giving you clear, natural moving pictures. | .Asymmetrical Cell Structure Panel: Panasonic plasma display employs a panel with a unique asymmetrical cell structure that achieves both high brightness and crisp whites a combination not possible with previous systems. The asymmetrical arrangement of the red, blue and green cells that control color reproduction results in a dramatically improved light-emitting balance of the three primary colors. This reproduces purer whites while maintaining a high level of brightness. The use of a wavelength-selective filter on the front panel and new green phosphors also expands the range of color reproduction, resulting in rich, natural color expression. | SPRECIFICATIONS | .Screen Size 37-inch diagonal | .Resolution 852 x 480 | .Aspect Ratio 16:9 | .Contrast Ratio 3000:1 | .Colors 16.77million | .
