This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV programming, with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the United States (as required by law) on February 17,

2009. Some older television receivers, if they rely on a TV antenna, will need a TV Converter to receive over the air digital programming, but should continue to work as before for other purposes (e.g., for watching low-power TV stations still broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies, or playing video games). When a Converter is used with an older television receiver, a signal splitter might be necessary to continue to receive low-power analog broadcasts via an antenna. For more information, please see www.DTV.gov. For information on the TV Converter program, and on government coupons that may be used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009. Please check with your cable or satellite service provider if you have questions about your cable or satellite set-top box.

Starting with the TH-C50HD18, this 50-inch model boasts a stunning 720p resolution, delivering sharp and crisp images for both standard and high-definition content. One of the notable features of this television is its use of Panasonic's NeoPDP technology, which enhances the brightness and contrast of the screen while reducing power consumption.

Additionally, the television features a wide viewing angle, allowing viewers to enjoy a great picture quality from various positions within the room.

On the other hand, the TH-C42HD18 offers a slightly smaller 42-inch screen size, making it an ideal fit for smaller spaces without compromising on quality. Similar to its larger counterpart, this model also features a 720p resolution and NeoPDP technology, providing vibrant colors and deep blacks. The 600Hz Sub-field Drive is present in this model as well, ensuring that viewers enjoy the same level of motion clarity that is crucial for an engaging viewing experience.

Both the TH-C50HD18 and TH-C42HD18 come equipped with multiple HDMI inputs, allowing users to connect various devices such as Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and sound systems seamlessly. The televisions also incorporate built-in audio enhancements, including the Viera Image Viewer, which enables users to view high-quality images from their digital cameras directly on the screen.
