Panasonic TX-P42V20E 42" Full HD Black plasma TV

TX-P42V20E - 42", Full HD, 1920 x 1080, 16:9, 0.001 ms Infinite Black Pro

A native contrast* ratio of 5,000,000:1 enables VIERA to display extremely robust blacks. A new panel and improvements to the cell discharge area dramatically increase contrast when viewing in brightly lit locations. And reducing the electrical pre-discharge that causes greying has greatly enhanced black gradation. As a result, deep, rich blacks are displayed in virtually any viewing area, from living rooms to bedrooms. Even in dark film scenes, clothing textures and individual strands of hair are clearly reproduced.

* The dark-room contrast ratio that can be simultaneously displayed within the same screen. Measured with a 4% window luminance.

600Hz Sub-field Drive* and Intelligent Frame Creation Pro

The 600Hz Sub-field Drive in VIERA plasma TVs teams up with Intelligent Frame Creation Pro technology to deliver smooth, fluid on-screen motion. Intelligent Frame Creation Pro detects moving objects and optimises their flow, to smoothen the image and ensure crisp motion.

Moving Picture Resolution 1080 Lines

VIERA plasma TVs feature 1080 lines of moving picture resolution. You enjoy clear, detailed images even in fast-moving scenes, with no blurring or afterimages. The NeoPDP technology's high-speed drive performance instantly generates a large electrical discharge and shortens the display time for each image frame to minimise afterimages. This makes virtually every scene crystal-clear, including decisive calls in football matches and the dynamic yet delicate motions in figure skating performances.

THX(R) Certified Display

THX reproduces film images exactly as the film's creators intended them. The overall aim was to improve the experience of cinema-goers and faithfully recreate the audio and visual ambience that filmmakers intended. To receive THX certification, TVs undergo stringent tests to determine, for example, whether the exact same brightness and colour are displayed at all screen locations, and whether black levels satisfy standard criteria. VIERA meets the high standards set by the THX Certified Display Program.

Digital Cinema Colour

VIERA's wide colour gamut covers 120% of the HDTV colour standard. It produces richer, more vivid colours by re-mastering cinema sources and enhancing HD broadcasts.

* VIERA emulates the colour of digital cinema projectors currently in cinemas.

24p Smooth Film

Enjoy smooth flowing 24p films and familiar TV-like quality. In plasma displays, increasing the number of frames creates smoother images. When reproducing images from a 24p film source, VIERA's 24p Smooth Film function generates smooth, natural-looking images.

VIERA Image Viewer (Photos and Videos)

It's easy to view full-HD images with the SD card slot. Watch and show your photos and motion images right after you take them. Simply insert an SD Card into VIERA to display photos and full-HD videos on the large screen. An easy-to-see, easy-to-use thumbnail display has also been added. Special new slideshow frames, and an increased number of display effects are also included. Plus, Reversal Film mode makes photo colours so rich and vibrant, even professional photographers will appreciate them. Messages and memos can be added to photos from a PC to create detailed travelogues and original slideshows with messages for special people. This further expands the possibilities for VIERA enjoyment.
