The Definitive High Definition Plasma
With the TH50PX75U plasma TV, Panasonic has achieved picture quality that's sure to blow you away. The TH50PX75U displays a maximum of 29 billion (that's right--29,000,000,000!) colors and 3,072 shades of gradation. The high contrast ratio of up to 10,000:1 ensures exceptionally rich blacks and stunning whites. The result is arguably the most detailed plasma TV in the world. The TH50PX75U includes a built-in NTSC/ATSC/QAM digital tuner to receive standard definitiion, high definition, and digital cable content. The set includes 2 HDMI connections, which enables the transfer of high definition video and audio via a single cable. That means you can enjoy HD entertainment without the inconvenience of numerous tangled cables. And speaking of less inconvenience, how about Panasonic's EZ Sync HDAVI control that lets you operate (through HDMI connections) all your home theater components by pressing one button on the TV remote.
Great Sound, Too
Incredibly slim and elegant, you'd never guess that the TH50PX75U includes an integrated 20-watt speaker system. But just wait until you turn it on and crank it up. A virtual surround sound system creates an authentic and exciting 3D enhancement effect from only the two stereo speakers while preserving the clarity and definition. The TH50PX75U offers exceptional sound stage imaging, helping to ensure optimal clarity for centrally staged audio material such as dialogue. This expansive audio provides a fitting complement to the incredible picture quality of Panasonic's plasma TV.
Share Digital Photos On the Big Screen
The best images you can ever view on a Panasonic plasma don't have anything to do with HDTV. Share your JPEG photos taken with an SD Memory Card-compatible digital camera on the TH50PX75U through the set's SD card slot. Simply insert the SD card, which is about the size of a postage stamp, into the SD slot on the TV and enjoy a photo slideshow. Panasonic also includes with this set GalleryPlayer, which allows you to enjoy the world's finest high definition art and photography on your HD plasma TV. Use the free GalleryPlayer software to purchase and download the images you like, and then play them on your Panasonic HDTV right from your PC. Sign-up is easy and free. Plus, you get a free collection of high definition images to enjoy right away in your home or office.
More on HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new standard digital connection between A/V devices, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver, and a digital telelvision. HDMI offers exceptional video and audio quality with a single quick-disconnect connector. It supports multichannel digital audio transmissions and component video color spacing for true rendering of HD video. HDMI supports the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copy protection standard, allowing transmission of copy-protected digital content to your display. The video portion of HDMI is also backward-compatible with DVI-HDCP devices using a special cable adapter.
Deep Blacks, Bright Whites, 29 Billion Colors
The realism of a TV's image is strongly linked to its contrast ratio, and this plasma features a high contrast ratio of up to 10,000:1. Such a wide range from black to white means great depth and dimensionality with vibrant colors--and this plasma can display an incredible 29 billion colors for a superior picture. Deep blacks provide excellent shadow detail during dark scenes, while brilliant whites allow Panasonic plasmas to render bright scenes with vivid realism.
Get Your HDTV Here
Sports, movies, and original network programming are all available in high definition from many local broadcasters and cable providers. You can watch local over-the-air and pass-through cable HDTV broadcasts on this plasma in stunning HDTV clarity using the built-in HDTV tuner. HDTV broadcasts and DVDs offer more detail and better color than analog broadcasts, and it takes a high-resolution display to deliver all that picture information. The high pixel count of this plasma display provides fine detail for outstanding HDTV reproduction. More pixels also translate into less stair-stepping artifacts making curved and diagonal edges look smooth and natural.
