Overview
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
our plasmas to render bright scenes with vivid realism.
If you have even a moderately complicated home theater setup, you
probably have a pile of tangled cables on the floor behind it. Imagine
replacing all those cables with a single cable that carries both digital
video and audio at the same time. With the new HDMI standard, that's
exactly what you get. The HDMI connector on this TV accepts high-quality
digital video and audio via the same thin cable, allowing you to run one
cable from the source to the TV.
This widescreen TV features a width-to-height ratio similar to movie
theater screens, providing a theater-like experience at home. View HD
broadcasts (EDTV quality) and widescreen DVDs the way they were meant to
be seen.
HD 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 pixel count of this plasma display provides
fine detail for outstanding EDTV reproduction. More pixels also
translate into less stair-stepping artifacts; curved and diagonal edges
look smooth and natural.
