Picture Effects
Plasma displays provide you with an excellent viewing experience, providing images of high quality and
high resolution. The picture remains bright and vibrant under all types of lighting conditions; the image
is smooth and even because there are no visible scan lines.
The PDP not only supports the latest digital technologies, it also offers the means to view the type of
high-quality images that only HDTV and DVD can provide. The color is rich and realistic, with a
spectrum of literally millions of color variations, far beyond what a conventional TV or even an LCD can
offer. Your 42-inch plasma display takes the plasma technology a step further with pixel enhancement
and color space converters. The digital comb filter eliminates blurred edges, so that the picture remains in
sharp focus at all times.
Wide viewing angles let you watch comfortably from anywhere in the room, and the wide 16:9 aspect
ratio takes full advantage of the large screen, especially for viewing HDTV, which also uses the same
aspect ratio. And because many TV programs continue to broadcast in the narrower 4:3 aspect ratio, the
PDP also includes aspect ratio conversion to automatically convert to a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Picture features:
• 3D Motion de-interlace, 3D comb filter (NTSC), 3D noise reduction
• Processing and reduction of 3D jagged edges
• Auto Film Mode detection with inverse 3:2 NTSC/2:2 PAL pull down
• Color Transient Improvement (CTI)/Luma Transient Improvement (LTI)
• Proprietary pixel enhancement technology
• 4:3 image display on 16:9 output and aspect ratio conversion
• Frame rate up/down conversion
• Built-in programmable color space converters to enhance color performance
