    Consistent brightness from any angle

    A Panasonic Plasma combines anti-glare and anti-reflection technology with the natural light-emitting properties of plasma, to give you a super-wide viewing range with a crisp, beautiful image from almost any angle. <hr class="bucketDivider" noshade="true" size="1"><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;">
    <h2>Smooth, graceful motion When you're watching sports or movies with fast-motion graphics, you want a TV that can keep up with the action. With over 900 lines of moving picture, self-illuminating plasma displays eliminate afterimages in fast-action scenes. So whether you're watching a sporting event or an action-packed movie, you'll always get the most impressive viewing experience possible.<hr class="bucketDivider" noshade="true" size="1">

    24p native reproduction

    Movies are shot at 24 frames per second. Unfortunately, TVs operating at 60Hz can only refresh 20 times per second, which means they must drop every fifth frame. With its 2008 Viera PZ85, PZ800, and PZ850 models, Panasonic introduces 24p native resolution, which means 24 frame per second movie content is reproduced frame for frame exactly, making for true-to-source smoothness of motion.
    <img style="width: 430px; height: 152px;" alt="" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-pages/TV/panasonic/viera-picture-contrast-sm._V13474123_.jpg"><td style="vertical-align: top;">

    1,000,000:1 Contrast

    The Panasonic's Real Black system (a pre-discharge suppression system) and improved panel production processes combine to reproduce outstanding blacks with superb contrast. Each image is richly expressive, from bright scense, like scorching desert landscapes, to dark cave scenes. Compare the image produced by conventional HDTV on the left to the Real Black image produced on the right<hr class="bucketDivider" noshade="true" size="1"><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;">

    More Colors Viera HDTVs support the xvYCC color profile (Extended YCC Colorimetry for Video Applications), or "x.v. color" for short. Standard RGB color space allows the display of a portion of the colors that are viewable to the human eye. The next generation "xvYCC" color space actually offers  an available range of colors that exceeds what human eyes can recognize.
    • Next-generation "xvYCC" color space supports 1.8 times as many colors as existing HDTV signals<li>Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately<li>Enables displays with more natural and vivid colors

    <tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;"><img style="width: 370px; height: 398px;" alt="deep color eliminates visible color banding" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-pages/TV/hdmi/deepcolor.jpg"><td style="vertical-align: top;">

    Deep Color Where x.v. color expands the available range of colors your HDTV can display, Deep Color increases the number of colors your HDTV can display within that range, for smoother transitions from color to color.
    • Lets HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors to billions of colors
    • Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors<li>Enables increased contrast ratio
    • Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white.

    Connectivity

    Viera flat panel HDTVs interact with an array of high-definition devices and services, making it easy for consumers to access and enjoy content as never before. As of 2008, Viera Link is compatible with Onkyo and Yamaha home theater systems.
    Videos and stills recorded on SD cards can easily be viewed via the SD slots on Panasonic Blu-Ray Disc players and Viera HDTVs.<td style="vertical-align: top;">Viera Link means easy connectivity via HDMI cables. Finally, consumers can easily operate their Blu-Ray Disc players, DVD recorders and home theater systems with a single remote control device.

    Long Life Panasonic plasma panels are rated to last 100,000 hours, which is about 30 years of regular or 11 years of non-stop usage before the brightness of the display is halved.<hr class="bucketDivider" noshade="true" size="1"><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;"><img style="width: 310px; height: 198px;" alt="Blu-Ray disc player" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-pages/TV/panasonic/bluray.jpg">

    Get Full HD with Blu-Ray Disc Players

    A Panasonic 1080p plasma television is able to render 1920x1080 pixels, but standard DVDs have a resolution of just 720x480. Blu-ray discs output true 1080p High-Definition resolution and have a storage capacity ten times greater than standard DVDs, so no pixel gos to waste.<hr class="bucketDivider" noshade="true" size="1">
