Panasonic TH50PHD8UK 50" High Definition Plasma Display Features
Industry's Best Bright Area Contrast of 340:1 , Deep Black Filter
The front protective glass of the plasma display panel incorporates a Deep Black Filter that suppresses light transmittance and slashes the amount of external light reflected. This technology helps these displays achieve the industry's highest contrast ratio of 340:1*2 when viewed in bright surroundings.
Industry's Highest Level of Dark Area Contrast, New Real Black Drive Systems
By reducing the pre-discharge emission when reproducing black, the New Real Black Drive System provides deeper, richer blacks and a stunning 4000:1 contrast*4. The result is dramatically enhanced image clarity and realism.
Industry's Highest Level of Gradation Steps, Advanced Real Gamma System
Panasonic plasma display series uses ultra-precise, maximum 14-bit signal processing to produce vividly rich details. The Advanced Real Gamma System then takes it another step further with full-time, full-pixel 1,536-step gradation and 2,048-step dark-area gradation. This level of gradation brings intricate details and more faithful color reproduction to all scenes, dark and bright.
Industry's Highest Level of Brightness, Advanced Plasma Panel
Panasonic plasma display panels feature a bounded cell structure in which wall-like ribs are used to wrap each individual cell. By increasing the area in which the phosphor can be applied, this dramatically improves both light-emitting efficiency and intensity. Furthermore, by optimizing the gas composition ratio, lighting efficiency has been increased by about 15%. The result is the industry’s highest level of brightness. You see crisp and clear images even in bright rooms.
Long Service Life of 60,000 Hours
A new drive circuit and inner panel improvements give Panasonic plasma panels a long service life of approximately 60,000 hours*5 even with their increased brightness. A newly developed phosphor also raises the plasma displays’ resistance to static-image screen burning to the same level as CRT displays.
High Precision MPD Noise Reduction
This technology dramatically reduces MPD (Motion Picture Disturbance) noise to deliver crisp, clean moving images. Using a Panasonic original algorithm, it detects motion patterns that tend to generate noise and makes the necessary adjustments to maximize image quality.
Active I/P Conversion
The Active I/P (Interlace/Progressive) Conversion system detects slow movements more precisely by increasing the range for detecting moving-picture and stillpicture pixels. This reduces I/P conversion noise that often occurs when reproducing tiny movements, thereby producing crisper images while raising the vertical resolution in interlaced images
3D Color Management System
The 3D Color Management System achieves precise control based on 3D management in the color difference plane and brightness directions. This finer level of control produces more expressive images. Note:The default setting for the 3D Color Management System is OFF.
Adaptive AGC
Adaptive AGC raises contrast while suppressing noise by detecting and boosting only the image edges. Note: The default setting for the Adaptive AGC is OFF.
