FULL HD

This TV uses a high definition plasma panel (1920 × 1080 pixels) to produce high definition pictures close to their original resolution.

V-real Pro 2

V-real Pro 2 technology is the collective name for original technologies developed by Panasonic to enhance total Full HD (1080p) image quality: V-real Pro 2 PROCESSOR: Enhance and output the incoming video signals as high-image-quality signals. The resulting video signals deliver the kind of high resolution that large screens require. V-real Pro 2 DRIVER: Precisely controls panel drive to optimise its performance. Achieves high image quality with the equivalent of high steps of gradation. V-real Pro 2 PANEL: Provide clear, vivid display of the video signal after processing by the V-real Pro 2 Processor and Driver. The high resolution of 1,920 × 1,080 pixels ensures beautiful images with clearer, sharper details.

High gradation

Gradation refers to the smoothness of colour expression. Rich, fine gradation is extremely important for maximising the high resolution panel. Uses maximum 16-bit signal processing to provide the equivalent of 4,096 steps of gradation.

Lead-free display

All VIERA plasma display panels are lead-free. This reduces the impact on the environment when recycling or disposing of them in the future.

•

Maintenance Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the pedestal is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added, and then wipe with a dry cloth.

Do not use products such as solvents, thinner or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface coating.

(If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)

•

Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term contact with rubber, vinyl products or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)
