Panasonic 46" VIERA G10 Series 1080p THX-certified plasma HDTV
Model: TCP46G10  UPC: 037988242467

Description: Just as THX-certified A/V receivers and speakers can deliver more theater-like sound, a THX-certified HDTV like Panasonic's TC-P46G10 can provide a more cinematic picture. This set's THX refinements make it easy to enjoy an exceptionally accurate, lifelike picture when viewing your favorite movies and TV shows. THX's strict requirements are based on tests that measure a TV's display quality (resolution, brightness level, color accuracy) and video processing (scaling, deinterlacing). To earn a passing grade, the TC-P46G10 had to meet performance benchmarks for both standard- and high-definition video, ensuring that your sources will look their best. Simply choose the "THX" picture setting to see a beautifully balanced picture ? without paying for an expensive professional calibration. All 1080p HDTVs have the same number of pixels, but they don't all deliver full picture resolution at all times. Plasma and LCD TVs are equally good at displaying still images, but when the action picks up the pace, plasma has a clear advantage. Panasonic's 2009 plasmas employ improved panel drive electronics that flash the screen's pixels on and off at high speed ? 25% faster than last year's models. Video motion looks effortlessly smooth and clear. Panasonic's new NeoPDP plasma technology significantly improves both picture contrast and black levels. The latest version of Panasonic's Real Black Drive System reduces the illumination level when plasma pixels shut off, yielding deep black levels (to see an illustration, click on "more photos"). Note that the TC-P46G10's impressive 40,000:1 contrast ratio spec is "native" contrast, which is a more accurate measure of real-world performance than the much higher "dynamic" contrast spec. Panasonic also included direct Internet access, so you can connect the TC-P46G10 to your broadband Internet connection and use Panasonic's easy VIERA Cast? interface to stream videos at YouTube? and Amazon? Video On Demand. Minimize
