Contrast Ratio 3000:1 Panel Brightness- Outstanding Visual
Performance
The new Plasma Display TH-42PWD4BX 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.
Panasonic's Real Black Drive System provides a remarkable
3000:1 contrast, while our original Advanced Plasma AI and
Asymmetrical Cell Structure Panel deliver crisp, vivid whites
and exceptional 780 cd/m2 panel brightness. The TH-42PW4BX
also weighs only 29.5kg, making it one of the industry's lightest
42 inch models.
Advanced Digital Processing Real Black Drive System
Panasonic's original Real Black Drive System
delivers a huge improvement in black reproduction . Conventional
plasma displays tend to illuminate blacks, which lowers the
contrast. In the TH-42PWD4BX, however, the pre-discharge emission
intensity is greatly reduced, and the number of emissions
per field is cut from the usual 12 to 1. This dramatically
reduces black levels and provides deeper, richer blacks. The
contrast ratio* is an extraordinary 3000:1 - five times higher
than our previous 42" plasma panel.

Advanced Plasma AI
(Adaptive Brightness Intensifier) -70% Improvement in Peak
Brightness.
Panasonic's unique Advanced Plasma AI increases the discharge
cycles for dark scenes, and it has double the brightness control
precision of our previous systems. The result is an unprecedented
brightness of 650 cd/m2 - 70% increase in peak brightness
compared with non AI plasma models. The TH-37PWD4 greatly
expands the dynamic range of all images, from black to white
peak. you get pictures that are exceptionally sharp, natural
looking, and wonderfully bright.
Advanced Digital Signal Processing - Improved Moving Pictures
The TH-37PWD4 can provide
smooth, natural looking moving pictures with excellent detail
thanks to greatly improved precision in the False-Edge Predictor
circuit. This circuit identifies areas where a moving picture
is subject to degradation and dramatically reduces the picture
noise there.
Flicker Free Pictures
Panasonic plasma display
is able to display all input video signals in progressive
format. This result in flicker-free pictures that are easy
in the eyes.
3
Dimensional Progressive Scan
This
function turns the interface signals used in present broadcasts
into progressive scan signals for optimal performance in the
dot matrix system of plasma displays. Our 3 Dimensional Progressive
Scan extracts the interpolated data with the highest correlation
from a total of 10 lines of image information for three fields
(the present field and the fields before and after). This
greatly decreases the blurry motion that tends to occur with
the conventional systems, giving you clear, natural moving
pictures.
Asymmetrical Cell Structure Panel
The
TH-37PWD4 employs a panel with a unique asymmetrical cell
structure that achieves both high brightness and crisp whites
- a combination not possible with previous systems. The asymmetrical
arrangement of the red, blue and green cells dramatically
improved light- emitting balance of three primary colours.
This reproduces purer whites while maintaining while maintaining
a high level of brightness . The use of a wavelength-selective
filter on the front panel and new green phosphors also expands
the range of colour reproduction to the level of HDTV studio
standards, resulting in rich, natural colour expression.
User Friendly Multimedia Display - HDTV Compatible
The
TH-37PWD4 lets you take advantage of the superior picture
quality available from today's most advanced media. It enables
you to hook up digital component video inputs (Y, Pb, Pr)
to the unit for viewing of DTV broadcasts in either HDTV (1080i
or 720p) or SDTV (480p or 480i) formats. In order to view
DTV programming , the TH-37PWD4 must be connected to a separate
DTV set-top box.
UXGA PC Signal Compatibility
Built-in
down converter - a Panasonic original - makes the TH-37PWD4
compatible with a wide variety of PC display modes. This converter
automatically switches the scanning frequency depending on
the input signal. It provides a horizontal scanning rate of
15.6kHz up to a very high 110 kHz, and vertical scanning of
45Hz to 120 Hz. The converter can process VGA, SVGA, XGA and
UXGA modes, and display each in the 480p format.
Slot-Type Terminal Boards
Panasonic
plasma display features a slot-type interface for easy expandability.
The slot accepts a variety of optional terminal boards for
a wide range of input sources, from composite video, S-video
and RGB digital signals.
Ultra
Thin, Lightweight Design
The
TH-37PWD4 offers the powerful viewing impact of a 37-inch-diagonal
screen in a unit that's only 89mm deep and weighs only 25kg.
Using the optional equipment available you can install the
TH-37PWD4 in places where you never before imagined having
a large screen display.
Quiet Operation
We
increased the panel's heat radiation efficiency, eliminating
the need for a fan - and eliminating fan noise. The "silence
engineering" gives you the kind of quiet operation that makes
for a more pleasant viewing experience.
Low
Power Consumption
A
newly developed power supply circuit combines with improvements
in the panel's light-emitting efficiency to reduce power consumption
by 25%.
Screen Savers
Select
from a total of three screen savers to minimise the risk of
uneven phosphor aging. The white Bar Scroll is designed for
ordinary still-image displays, Screen Reversal is for text-screen
displays, and Side Panel Adjustments is for 4:3 mode images.
All three can be started up in manual mode, or they can be
set to automatically start/stop st present times at timer
mode or for preset periods interval mode.
