HD Signal Quality Directly Reflected in Picture Quality

PZ SERIES 1080p FULL-HD PANEL

With its 1920 x 1080 resolution, Viera PZ Series full-HD panel displays beautiful images without needing to perform pixel conversion for the 1080p video signals processed by the video circuitry. You can enjoy images with stunning detail and beauty not only from HD broadcasts, but from Blu-ray sources as well.

Full-HD Picture Processing without alteration

1080p DIGITAL PROCESSING CHIP-SET (PZ SERIES)

The 1080p signal format used by Blu-Ray Discs offers the highest image quality among high- definition video sources. The Viera processor receives up to 1080p video signals in their original format. It applies optimum signal processing to output the same high signal quality.

IMAGES

SUPERB MOTION IMAGE DISPLAY

Plasma panels use self-illuminating pixels — so motion-image resolution is outstanding, even in fast-motion scenes. You'll love the clear, vivid images you get from Viera when viewing action movies or watching football or baseball games, tennis matches, and other sports events.

Up-converts SD video signals to 1080p signals.

1080p DIGITAL RE-MASTERING PROCESSOR (PZ SERIES)

The processor converts SD and HD video signals from DTV broadcasting and DVD players to 1080p without loss of image details. It also applies progressive conversion to upgrade 1080i high- definition video signals to 1080p signals. This allows Viera to render pictures that are more beautiful than the original.

10,000:1 Contrast*

REAL BLACK DRIVE SYSTEM AND DEEP BLACK FILTER

Panasonic's original Real Black Drive System and Deep Black Filter reproduce the deep, rich blacks that were inherently difficult to achieve due to the structure of the plasma display panel.

Further, the increased cell aperture ratio and improved discharge efficiency help maintain outstanding contrast on Viera's high- resolution full-HD panel.

*Excluding TH-50PZ700A and TH-42PZ700A

FAITHFUL COLOUR REPRODUCTION

Viera reproduces 100% of the colour range specified in HDTV standards1. This makes it possible to reproduce images from digital HD broadcasts in their true original colours, with minimal colour shift.

BEAUTIFUL IMAGES FROM ANY ANGLE

With Viera plasma display panel, colours look virtually just as good from a sharp angle as they do from directly in front.

Finer Gradation, Greater Expressivity

GRADATION: 4,096 EQUIVALENT STEPS OF GRADATION*

To take maximum advantage of the full-HD panel's high resolution, Viera uses up to 16-bit signal processing. This increases gradation to the equivalent of 4,096 steps, which minimises noise and blackout. Both light and dark parts of an image are expressed clearly and beautifully.

*Excluding TH-50/42PX70A and TH-42PX7A

Greatly Reduced Screen Glare

ANTI-GLARE FILTER*

Viera plasma TVs feature a filter that widely diffuses the light that reaches the panel, greatly reducing glare. You enjoy comfortable viewing of images that are warm-looking and virtually glare-free.
