The widescreen TH-42PHD6UY
plasma is equipped with advanced panels featuring
Multi-facet Asymmetrical Configuration Hyper pixels. The
TH-42PHD6UY is outfitted with a 5-facet grid-cell structure
panel that substantially improves the light-emitting balance
of the three primary image-creating colors (red, blue, and
green), allowing the display to reproduce purer whites and
improving the panel’s brightness level by 45 percent. The
panel features a MACH Enhancer – an exclusive Panasonic
contour-emphasis signal processing technology – that
improves an object’s contours to best reflect the manner the
human eye perceives objects.
This 16:9 display comes
equipped with a Super Real Gamma System that reproduces
gradation in steps equivalent to 1,536 shades to deliver
greater image depth and to provide the subtle nuances to
dark scenes. The New Real Black Drive System reduces the
pre-charge emission when reproducing the color black that
produces deeper, richer blacks and an astonishing 3,000-to-1 contrast ratio. In addition, the
panels’ front protective glass incorporates a new Deep Black
Filter that suppresses light transmittance and dramatically
reduces the amount of external light reflected.
The TH-42PHD6UY HD has 1024 x
768 XGA progressive-scan resolution. It supports VGA, SVGA,
XGA, SXGA, and UXGA resolution computer graphics and DTV/HDTV
signals in 1080p 24p/24sf, 1080i 50/60, 720p 50/60, 480p/
and 576 p/i. The TH-42PHD6UY is also equipped with the new
3:2 pulldown technology that automatically detects a 3:2
film-based source such as 24p video.
