| Featuring Panasonic's 9th generation
gas-plasma screen, the 42-inch TH-42PX60U features a width-to-height
16:9 aspect ratio similar to movie theater screens, providing a
theater-like experience at home. Its maximum of 29 billion colors and
over 3,000 shades of gradation provide exceptionally fine detail for
outstanding HDTV reproduction. The set's built-in ATSC (DTV) tuner
pulls HD signals (480p/720p/1080i) right from the airwaves, and its QAM
tuner is fully compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception. A
standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD)
programming. It also includes a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot,
enabling you to take an SD card directly from a digital still camera or
camcorder and insert it directly into the TV for quick and colorful
photo slideshows.
A plasma screen renders vivid colors like you've never seen before (as
in, up to 29 billion in this case), extremely wide viewing angles
(wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due
to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the TH-42PX60U is a mere 3.7 inches
deep, one of the slimmest plasmas around--perfect for desk or wall
mounting. Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma
screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and
negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near
lighting or sound systems. The TH-42PX60U features a 1024 x
768-pixel resolution and an amazing contrast ratio of 10000:1. (The
higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle
color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The 3D Y/C
digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture
height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce
dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.
Other features include V-Chip parental controls, on/off sleep timers,
closed-caption decoding, aspect ratio control, and video input
labeling. The TV's internal stereo speakers are powered by 10
watts per channel (for 20 watts of total power). It features the
following connection options: - Component (Y/Pb/Pr): 2 inputs (with 2 audio inputs)
- HDMI: 2 inputs
- Composite (RCA audio/video): 3 inputs (1 on the front), 1 output
- S-Video: 3 inputs (1 on the front)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless,
uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any AV source
with an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).
HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or
high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using
a single cable. If a component doesn't have an HDMI
connection, you'll also get great picture reproduction using the
three-jack component video (Y/Pb/Pr) input, which provides separate
connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color
difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color
information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color
reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or
composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. Component video output
is available only for DVD playback. What's in the Box
