Bright and Vivid Picture

The Panasonic TH-42PA60 offers unrivaled picture quality for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to plasma technology you can view images with amazing clarity, brightness, and contrast. The TH-42PA60 can display up to 1,070 million colors and is one of the brightest displays with a contrast ratio of 10000:1. All this leads to a much more vivid television experience.

16:9 Wide Screen

You no longer have to deal with cropped off images while watching some of your favorite movies. With its wide screen 16:9 aspect ratio you can now watch movies in their original format. In fact, the 16:9 aspect ratio is one of the most important aspects of the TH-42PA60 since all future HDTV signals will be broadcast in this format.

Wide Viewing Angle

The TH-42PA60 offers a completely flat viewing surface with a 160 degree viewing angle. The expansive viewing angle means that you can watch your favorite programs from nearly anywhere in your living room without distortions common to rear-projection TV's or TFT monitors.

Cure for Sore Eyes

Traditionally, video signals are transmitted using an interlacing format where two separate frames are transposed to create one single frame. This results in flicker that can lead to eye fatique and soreness. This flicker problem is eliminated with the progressive scanning process where video images are transmitted in one single complete frame. The TH-42PA60 is compatible with all progressive scanning signals from high quality DVD players and HDTV decoders, and other high-end video equipment to produce brilliant flicker-free images.

PC Ready

The TH-42PA60 is PC ready. You now have the ability to use your plasma TV with any SXGA, XGA, SVGA, or VGA computer video signals*. With Panasonic's TH-42PA60 you not only have a TV, but a 42" computer monitor as well.

Digital Television for Today and Tomorrow

The Panasonic TH-42PA60 allows you to enjoy your favorite TV programming today while being prepared for the future. The TH-42PA60 is an HDTV monitor and can support both HDTV (1080i and 720p) and EDTV/SDTV (480p and 480i) input signals**. This allows you to enjoy the shows of today, with much better picture quality, and be prepared for the future of HDTV offerings.
