Panasonic TH-42PH20E 42" HD Black plasma TV

106.68 cm (42 ") Plasma, XGA (1024x768), 2.000.000 :1, HDMI Original image-processing technologies have enabled a high contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1*1.
This produces robust blacks that give images greater realism and depth.

Maximum 18-bit digital signal processing renders images with the equivalent of 5,120 steps of gradation, while suppressing noise and minimizing blocked shadows.

High-definition broadcasts are based on the HDTV standard, rather than the conventional NTSC/PAL standard. Panasonic plasma displays reproduce a wide color gamut exceeding the entire color range specified in the HDTV standard (ITU-R, BT.709). This results in a natural and faithful color reproduction on a large screen. Digital Color Reality technology also assures images with immaculate details

Panasonic plasma display panels use self-illuminating pixels to provide more vivid colour and sharper images that never appear faded, even when viewed at an angle. Panasonic plasma displays deliver high-resolution images without losing the quality of the original video source.

The Panasonic Professional Plasma Display panel offers a long life of approximately 100,000 hours*1, and provides bright, beautiful pictures over many years of use.

Panasonic plasma displays can also be set up vertically. This allows efficient use of limited spaces, such as vertically oblong areas. The long life of approximately 100,000 hours*8 and superb image quality are completely unaffected by vertical installation. When the portrait mode is selected in the initial display settings, the on-screen display rotates 90-degrees for easy reading. The cooling fan control also changes automatically for portrait mode.

The front of the plasma display is covered by a hard glass panel that provides strong resistance to impact and breakage, thereby providing extra assurance against damage when used in busy public spaces. It virtually eliminates any need for additional protective covering.
