Outstanding Visual Performance TH-42PW4B The EISA Award Winning Display.(Now PW6) Prices From £3000 to £6500 Depending on screen size.
The new Plasma Display TH-42PW5B delivers the finest picture quality ever achieved in a plasma display, to unleash all the power and dynamism of today's advanced video sources, including HDTV, DVD and personal computers. Panasonic's Real Black Drive System provides a remarkable 3000:1 contrast, while our original Advanced Plasma AI and Asymmetrical Cell Structure Panel deliver crisp, vivid whites and exceptional 650 cd/m2 panel brightness. The TH-42PW3B also weighs only 29.5kg, making it one of the industry's lightest 42 inch models. FeaturesReal Black Drive System Conventional plasma displays tend to illuminate blacks, diminishing the power of the image. With T[tau] Plasma, Panasonic's Real Black Drive System dramatically lowers black illumination. This results in extraordinary 3000:1 contrast ratio*, 5 times higher than our previous system and is higher than anything else in the industry as of July 2002.*when there is no peripheral illumination Advanced Plasma A.I. (Adaptive Brightness Intensifier) Panasonic's unique Advanced Plasma AI increases the discharge cycles for dark scenes, and it has double the brightness control precision of our previous systems. The result is an unprecedented brightness of 650 cd/m2 - 70% increase in peak brightness compared with non-A.I. Plasma models. The TH-42PW5B greatly expands the dynamic range of all images, from black to white peak resulting in pistures which are crisp, natural and powerful.Advanced Digital Signal Processing The TH-42PW5B can reproduce around 1, 024 shades - twice the number of our previous systems. This results in a far superior reproduction of low-light portions of the image, a weakness in many conventional plasma displays. It also provides more faithful image reproduction across the entire dynamic range. Improved Moving Picture Performance The new Plasma features a False-Edge Predictor circuit, which drastically reduces moving picture noise.3-Dimensional Progressive Scan This function turns the interface signals used in present broadcasts into 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 reduces the blurry motion that tends to occur with the conventional systems, giving you clean and natural moving pictures.Asymmetrical Cell Structure Panel The TH-42PW5B 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 dramatically improves a light-emitting balance of the three primary colours. 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 colour reproduction to the level of HDTV studio standards, resulting in rich, natural colour expression.HDTV Compatible The TH-42PW5B lets you take advantage of the superior picture quality available from today's most advanced media. It enables you to hook up digital component video inputs (Y, Pb, Pr) to the unit for viewing of DTV broadcasts in either HDTV (1080i or 720p) or SDTV (480p or 480i) formats. In order to view DTV programming , the TH-42PW5B must be connected to a separate DTV set-top box.UXGA PC Signal Compatible To assure compatibility with a wide range of PC modes, the 42PW5B automatically switches the scanning frequency depending on the input signal. It offers a horizontal scanning rate of 15.6kHz up to a very high 110 kHz, and vertical scanning of 45Hz to 120 Hz. The converter can process VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA and UXGA modes, and signal processing for all systems are readily available (525p, 5254, 625p, 6251, 720p and 10801 format).Quiet Operation The panel's heat radiation efficiency eliminates the need for a fan. This 'silence engineering' delivers a quiet operation that makes a more plesant viewing experience.Lower Power Consumption A newly developed power supply circuit combines with improvements in the panel's light-emitting efficiency to reduce power consumption by 25% compared to previous models.Ultra Thin, Lightweight Design The TH-42PW5B offers the powerful viewing impact of a 42-inch-diagonal screen in a unit that's only 89mm deep and weighs only 29.5kg, making it ideal for wall hanging.
