Panasonic TH58PZ750U Plasma TV

Movie images are some of the most difficult for TV displays to reproduce and the Panasonic TH58PZ750U plasma did just that. With the 58-inch TH58PZ750U plasma HDTV, Panasonic has achieved picture quality that takes your breath away.

This full HD 1080p native resolution set displays a maximum of 67.8 billion colors and 4,096 shades of gradation. A high contrast ratio of up to 5,000-to-1 assures exceptionally rich blacks and brilliant whites.

The result is one of the most detailed plasma TV’s ever. Three built-in tuners receive standard (NTSC) broadcast or cable signals, HDTV (ATSC) broadcast signals, and unencrypted digital cable (QAM) signals, which means no set-top box for basic digital cable service.

There are three HDMI inputs for all-digital transfer of high definition video and multichannel audio signals via a single cable. Now you can enjoy HD entertainment without that cable jumble.

The realism of TV images is strongly linked to contrast ratio, and this plasma features a very high contrast ratio of up to 5,000-to-1. Such a wide range from black to white means great depth and dimensionality with vibrant colors. Deep blacks provide excellent shadow detail during dark scenes, while brilliant whites allow this Panasonic plasma to render bright scenes with vivid realism. Add to this impressive contrast ratio the ability to display 67.8 billion colors and what you have is a TV that shows you high definition content in all its glory.

Progressive Cinema Scan (3/2 Pulldown) achieves exceptionally faithful movie reproduction through a sophisticated analog-to-digital conversion. Movies on film are converted to NTSC interlaced video (480i) for television by a process known as telecine conversion, in which the 24 frames-per-second film is converted to video at 60 fields-per-second. The fields are then paired to create 30 frames-per-second 480i video.

Some of the frames will contain dissimilar pairs of fields derived from two different frames of the original film, which causes artifacts. Panasonic’s Progressive Cinema Scan circuitry converts 480i video to 480p while restoring the original frames of the film for a more authentic movie reproduction. This widescreen TV features a 16:9 width-to-height aspect ratio similar to movie theater screens, providing a theater-like experience at home. View HDTV broadcasts and widescreen DVDs the way they were meant to be seen.

Incredibly slim and elegant, you’d never guess that the TH58PZ750U includes an integrated 2-woofer/2-tweeter, 31-watt speaker system. But just wait until you turn it on and crank it up. The BBE ViVA HD3D virtual surround sound system creates an authentic and exciting 3-D enhancement effect from the stereo speakers, while preserving the clarity and definition.

The TH58PZ750U offers exceptional sound stage imaging, assuring optimal clarity for centrally staged audio material like dialogue. This expansive audio provides a fitting complement to the incredible picture quality of this Panasonic plasma TV.

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 TH58PZ750U through the set’s memory card slot. Simply insert the card, which is about the size of a postage stamp, into the slot and enjoy a photo slideshow.
