IMAGES
HD Signal Quality Directly Reflected in Picture Quality
With its 1920 x 1080 resolution, Viera PZ Series full-HD panel displays
beautiful images without needing to perform pixel conversion for the
1080p video signals processed by the video circuitry. You can enjoy
images with stunning detail and beauty not only from HD broadcasts,
but from Blu-ray sources as well.
PZ SERIES 1080p FULL-HD PANEL
SUPERB MOTION IMAGE DISPLAY
Plasma panels use self-illuminating pixels — so motion-image
resolution is outstanding, even in fast-motion scenes. You'll love the
clear, vivid images you get from Viera when viewing action movies
or watching football or baseball games, tennis matches, and other
sports events.
FAITHFUL COLOUR REPRODUCTION
Viera reproduces 100% of the colour range specified in HDTV
standards
1
. This makes it possible to reproduce images from digital
HD broadcasts in their true original colours, with minimal colour shift.

BEAUTIFUL IMAGES FROM ANY ANGLE
With Viera plasma display panel, colours look virtually just as good
from a sharp angle as they do from directly in front.
10,000:1 Contrast
*
Panasonic's original Real Black Drive System and Deep Black Filter
reproduce the deep, rich blacks that were inherently difficult to
achieve due to the structure of the plasma display panel.
Further, the increased cell aperture ratio and improved discharge
efficiency help maintain outstanding contrast on Viera's high-
resolution full-HD panel.

Finer Gradation, Greater Expressivity
To take maximum advantage of the full-HD panel's high resolution,
Viera uses up to 16-bit signal processing. This increases gradation to
the equivalent of 4,096 steps, which minimises noise and blackout.
Both light and dark parts of an image are expressed clearly and
beautifully.

Greatly Reduced Screen Glare
Viera plasma TVs feature a filter that widely diffuses the light that
reaches the panel, greatly reducing glare. You enjoy comfortable
viewing of images that are warm-looking and virtually glare-free.

Full-HD Picture Processing without alteration
The 1080p signal format used by Blu-Ray Discs
offers the highest image quality among high-
definition video sources. The Viera processor
receives up to 1080p video signals in their original
format. It applies optimum signal processing to
output the same high signal quality.
1080p DIGITAL PROCESSING
CHIP-SET (PZ SERIES)
1080p DIGITAL RE-MASTERING PROCESSOR
(PZ SERIES)
Up-converts SD video signals to 1080p signals.
The processor converts SD and HD video signals from DTV
broadcasting and DVD players to 1080p without loss of image
details. It also applies progressive conversion to upgrade 1080i high-
definition video signals to 1080p signals. This allows Viera to render
pictures that are more beautiful than the original.
