Panasonic TX-P42GT30E 42" Full HD Black plasma TV

106.68 cm (42 ") Plasma 1920x1080, Vreal 3D, Full HD, 16:9, 5000000:1, Black Frame Sequential Technology
Panasonic uses Full-HD Frame Sequential technology to create its 3D images. Images recorded in 1920 x 1080 pixels for both the right-eye and the left-eye alternately flash on the screen at the ultra-high rate of 120 frames per second. When you view the screen through active-shutter glasses that open and close each lens in sync with the alternating images, you see breathtaking FULL HD 3D pictures with stunning power and realism.

Minimal Afterglow
Reformulating the phosphor materials has minimised afterglow and increased luminous efficiency. This reduces crosstalk noise and displays clear, detailed 3D images.

New Light-Emitting Process
New VIERA optical technology reduces crosstalk in dark areas. Conventional light emission, which goes from dark-to-light, was changed to a light-to-dark sequence. This turns maximum emission afterglow into minimum emission afterglow, and dramatically reduces the afterglow duration. Also, by speeding up the timing of each light emission and expanding the interval until the next frame's emission, we greatly reduced the interference to the left and right frames, which causes crosstalk, and reduced noise.

New Crosstalk Reduction Technology
By accurately detecting the information for each of the right-eye and left-eye 3D images, we have been able to minimise double images, which pose the main noise problem in 3D. This results in clear, comfortable 3D viewing. It feels as though you're totally immersed in the picture.

3D 24p Smooth Film
VIERA incorporates technology that analyses picture information in both the preceding and succeeding frames, and creates a precise supplementary frame between them. This suppresses the jerky effect seen in films, so playback is smooth and natural-looking. The distinctive tonal qualities and atmosphere of the movie are preserved, and you enjoy extremely lifelike 3D images.

2D-3D Conversion
Unique Panasonic technology converts 2D images into high-quality 3D images in real-time. The technology generates a detailed depth effect for each type of image, so the 3D effect is natural and realistic. Use VIERA to enjoy Blu-ray movies, DVD movies and even ordinary TV broadcasts in 3D. The Super Resolution function allows images that were converted from 2D to 3D to be displayed in sharp, clear 3D while minimising crosstalk. 3D images with crisp contours are also produced from 3D broadcasts using the side-by-side method.

3D Adjustment Function
The addition of 3D image quality adjustment functions lets you enjoy 3D images more comfortably.

3D Image Viewer
It's easy to view 3D photos and movies you shot yourself on the big VIERA screen. After shooting with your 3D-compatible camera or camcorder, simply insert the SD card into the slot on a 3D-compatible VIERA TV. The viewing is incredible, with images so realistic it feels as though you're right back in the moment. You'll find that life's special moments are even more memorable when you preserve them in 3D.

Infinite Black Pro (Native Contrast 5,000,000:1)
In new VIERA models, contrast in brightly lit locations has been significantly improved. Enhancements to the panel and cells help reproduce images with smooth, natural gradation and deep, rich blacks – even when viewed in bright surroundings. In movies, the true, deep blacks faithfully convey the intent of the filmmakers, adding power and realism to the viewing experience.

600Hz Sub-field Drive* 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. By using an intelligent algorithm within the picture processing based on motion detection, the best combination of frames is created to deliver ultra crisp sports, film and game action.

THX® 3D Certified Display
In order to enjoy the original image quality of a movie, you need to have a display that portrays the images exactly as the movie's creators intended. VIERA has cleared the high standards set by THX Certified Display Programme. It reproduces both 2D and 3D images with cinema-like quality. Enjoy beautiful images that are optimal for movies.

ISFccc- Imaging Science Foundation Certified Calibration Configuration
An ISF-certified installer can calibrate your VIERA, so that image reproduction is customised to actual viewing conditions in your home and your personal preferences. The calibration process provides the settings that bring out the full expressive potential within the image signals. Settings for contrast, tint, sharpness and colour are optimised to meet your home's lighting conditions for both daytime and nighttime viewing.

24p Smooth Film
Enjoy naturally 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.

Wide Colour Viewing Angle
No matter where you sit in the room, you see breathtaking images with spectacular colours. Plasma HDTVs are self-illuminating, so images look beautiful from any angle. Black areas do not fade, and colours look virtually the same from every point in the room.

Super Resolution
The Super Resolution function restores the fine definition and detail that are inherently part of the image but sometimes lost in reproduction. Each area within the image frame is digitally processed for optimum quality. This process up-converts standard-definition images – such as those from TV broadcasts and DVDs – to a level approaching full-HD.

CONEQ
CONEQ, an acoustic power equalising technology, produces sounds that are extremely faithful to the source. An optimal acoustic field is reproduced in front of the TV. CONEQ is also used in mastering studios and concert halls, as its sound enhancing technologies are widely recognised by sound engineers.

VIERA Connect
The exciting world of Cloud-based Internet Service, centreing on TV, is about to begin for the enjoyment of the entire family. Now you can enjoy intuitive remote control while relaxing on the living room sofa, with a wide variety of content at your fingertips. In the near future, TV will also be able to link with a tablet device to achieve completely new forms of entertainment that you've never before experienced.

VIERA Image Viewer
Equipped with an SD card slot, VIERA makes it easy to view full-HD photos and motion images that you shot yourself.

Mercury and Lead Free Plasma Display Panel
Panasonic is committed to making our products more friendly to the environment. In line with this commitment, all VIERA plasma display panels are free of both lead and mercury. This reduces impact on the environment years down the road when the TV is recycled or retired from use.

Long Panel Life, Up to 100,000 Hours
One important way consumers can protect the environment is by choosing high-quality products and taking care of them so they last for a long time. A high-quality VIERA HDTV can help. Thanks to a newly designed phosphor process and rear panel process, our plasma panels last for up to 100,000 hours before the brightness decreases by half. That's more than 30 years of viewing 8 hours a day.

Standby Power Save
When the VIERA power is turned off, the power consumption of connected devices* is minimised.

Gentle on the Eyes
Eye fatigue is suppressed, so both children and adults can watch TV in comfort, even with extended viewing. In a plasma HDTV, each pixel illuminates and its brightness is adjusted for every scene. For this reason the images are not overly bright.
