Panasonic TH-50PZ700U 50" 1080p Plasma HDTV

Panasonic's exceptional picture quality reaches another milestone with the rollout of their first full line of 1080p plasma HDTVs. With nearly double the pixel count of a conventional 50" model, the TH-50PZ700U's screen paints images with lifelike detail and depth. If you look at all of the high-definition programs available from broadcast, cable, and satellite TV sources, you'll find that most of them use 1080i format? 1920 x 1080 pixels. The TH-50PZ700U's screen is a pixel-perfect match so you won't miss any details. By comparison, "720p" plasmas must downconvert 1080i signals, throwing away around 50% of the picture information. The downconverted image still looks crisp and clear, but there's definitely less fine detail. Video Demonstrations: (Click hyperlink text to view)
