This Panasonic TX-P42GT50 VIERA NEOPDP is one of the most advanced panels on the market. It uses the Pro 4 dual core processor. Which assists with the powerful Hertz, THX3D, as well as the Smart VIERA and full web browser. This High Contrast Filter Pro and Infinite Black Ultra technologies will give you one of the best life-like representations of depth and clarity on your TV, as if you were there. If you combine this technology with the encapsulating THX3D certified technology, the only thing you will be missing from being there in the action would be a sense smell.

Watch your favorite films as the director intended you to see them. THX is a corporation set up by George Lucas in Hollywood, they have put this TV through 30 rigorous tests to ensure it meets their high standards, and so this 3D Plasma TV has received their THX3D certification. the elements of the THX3D certification include Audio Visual (AV), and Creative (C). In the AV tests each frame of a 3D movie is analyzed to ensure that both the left and right eye images retain a clear and sharp reproduction, of the original master video elements. Furthermore the sound has been fully evaluated to ensure it remains true to the original master recordings elements. One aspect of 3D that can be distracting and slightly off putting, is burred text and 3D visuals that look out of focus or unsharp. Once again THX engineers have reviewed all the 3D aspects of a film frame-by-frame to check that all subtitles, graphics, and characters are properly focused and in the accurate “action location” onscreen.

In the constant progression of Refresh Rates and Hertz (Hz) rates the Panasonic TX-P42GT50 has a new technology called Focused Field Drive. This gives the TV a total Hz rate of 2500, combining the motion technology with other aspects of the picture quality, to boost performance, and delivery smooth, crisp and clear images no matter how fast the action gets.
