FULL
HD
This TV uses a high definition plasma panel
(1920 × 1080 pixels) to produce high definition
pictures close to their original resolution.
V-real
Pro
2
V-real Pro 2 technology is the collective
name for original technologies developed by
Panasonic to enhance total Full HD (1080p) image quality:
V-real Pro 2 PROCESSOR: Enhance and output the
incoming video signals as high-image-quality signals. The
resulting video signals deliver the kind of high resolution
that large screens require.
V-real Pro 2 DRIVER: Precisely controls panel drive to
optimise its performance. Achieves high image quality with
the equivalent of high steps of gradation.
V-real Pro 2 PANEL: Provide clear, vivid display of the
video signal after processing by the V-real Pro 2 Processor
and Driver. The high resolution of 1,920 × 1,080 pixels
ensures beautiful images with clearer, sharper details.
High
gradation
Gradation refers to the smoothness of colour
expression.
Rich, fine gradation is extremely important for maximising
the high resolution panel. Uses maximum 16-bit signal
processing to provide the equivalent of 4,096 steps of
gradation.
Lead-free
display
All VIERA plasma display panels are lead-free.
This reduces the impact on the environment
when recycling or disposing of them in the future.
