Panasonic TH-42PWD5UY Review

Summary

The TH-42PWD5UY incorporates advanced digital processing technology including a newly developed Real Black Drive System, Adaptive Brightness Intensifier, False-Edge Predictor circuit, and UXGA/HDTV compatibility. It features an industry-leading contrast ratio and peak panel brightness of 650 cd/m2 to produce realistic images in vibrant, natural colors with a wide 16:9 aspect ratio, 160-degree viewing angle. The TH-42PWD5UY features an ultra-thin yet ultra-sturdy 3.5″ deep body. It weighs only 65 lbs and offers a thinner surround area, effectively increasing the overall screen area.Responding to plasma display needs in the computer monitoring arena, the TH-42PWD5UY offers expanded computer signal compatibility to display VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, and UXGA resolutions and an expanded range of horizontal and vertical scanning rates (fH: 15:6 – 110 kHz; fV: 48-120 Hz). This wider range allows the TH-42PWD5UY to display dynamic, updateable dynamic signage applications when driven from a computer.
