The New Panasonic 42 TH-42PWD6UY Plasma offers a 4000:1 contrast ratio. Why buy old technology.The New Panasonic delivers the finest picture quality ever achieved in a plasma display, to unleash all the power and dynamism of today's advanced video sources, including HDTV, DVD and personal computers.

Total Picture Quality

The Panasonic Plasma Display delivers brilliant, high-contrast images with rich gradation and remarkable depth. Behind this total picture quality is the powerful synergetic effect between the plasma display panel and a panel driver that is optimally suited to display devices.

Super Real Gamma System

The Super Real Gamma System provides the optimal number of sub-fields for each scene. This allows Panasonic plasma display to reproduce 1,024* shades of gradation for superior detail in dark scenes. When a PC signal is input, the Panasonic plasma display reproduces gradation in steps equivalent to 1,536* shades at the lower brightness levels, where the human eye sees best.

* In normal/cinema mode.

New Real Black Drive System

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.

New Quasi 100 Hz System

A quasi 100-Hz sub-field drive system detects when a PAL video signal is input and essentially doubles the number of fields displayed in a given time. This dramatically reduces the flicker that can occur when playing PAL sources.

MACH Enhancer

The MACH Enhancer is an original Panasonic contour-emphasis signal processing technology. Drawing on the Mach effect, this technology enhances an object’s contours in a way that best suits the way the human eye perceives objects.

Deep Black Filter

The front protective glass of the Panasonic Plasma Display incorporates a new Deep Black Filter that suppresses light transmittance and slashes the amount of external light reflected. This helps our display achieve the industry’s highest level of contrast when viewed in bright surroundings.
