Panasonic TH-58PF20E 58" Plasma Display

Panasonic TH-58PF20E 58" Plasma Display Product Overview

NeoPDP Technology — Twice*1 the Luminous Efficiency
Panasonic's new NeoPDP technology achieves twice the luminous efficiency as our previous models, thanks to new materials and a new structure for the plasma display panel, together with a complete revamping of circuitry and drive technology. NeoPDP boosts brightness and contrast, and improves moving picture performance. From brilliant whites to robust blacks, it has richer gradation. And it displays rapid movements, such as sports action, with enhanced detail. NeoPDP technology even reduces the panel weight

World's Highest*2 Contrast Ratio of 500,000:1*3
Original Panasonic image processing technologies, including the Dynamic Black Layer, have achieved the world's highest*2 contrast of 40,000:1*3 (dynamic contrast of 2,000,000:1*4), to reproduce images with enhanced depth that seems to pull the viewer in.
*2: For plasma displays as of June 17, 2009 (according to a Panasonic survey).
*3: Dark-area contrast that can be displayed simultaneously on the same screen.
*4: The ratio of the brightness of a screen displaying an all-white signal to the brightness of a screen displaying an all-black

World's Highest Level*2 of 6,144*5 Equivalent Steps of Gradation
The Panasonic PF12 Series achieves rich shading with 6,144 equivalent steps*5 of gradation in all scenes. It delivers richer gradation from brilliant whites to robust blacks, and faithfully reproduces the original textural quality of the video source.
*5: The PF11 Series has 5,120 equivalent steps of gradation

Moving Picture Resolution of 1,080 Lines*6 for Sharp and Clear Display of Fast-Moving Action
The superb moving picture resolution of the plasma display panel ensures that even fast-moving action is displayed clearly with full detail and with minimum afterimages. Panasonic Professional Plasma Displays deliver beautiful, high-resolution images from 1080p Full HD sources

Approx. 110%*7 of the Color Gamut of the HDTV Standard
High-definition broadcasts are based on the HDTV standard, rather than the conventional NTSC/PAL standard. Panasonic plasma displays reproduce a wide color gamut exceeding the entire color range specified in the HDTV standard (ITU-R, BT.709). This results in a natural and faithful color reproduction on a large screen. Digital Color Reality technology also assures images with immaculate details.

Dynamic Images Seen from Any Angle
Panasonic pro plasma display panels use self-illuminating pixels to provide more vivid color and sharper images that never appear faded, even when viewed from an angle. Panasonic plasma displays deliver high-resolution images without losing the quality of the original video source

Minimal Maintenance
Cleaning is easy, as dust and dirt can be wiped off with a soft cloth when necessary. Panasonic plasma displays provide stunning pictures, have a long service life, and require minimal maintenance
