ADVANTAGES OF PLASMA TECHNOLOGY:
Superb motion image display
Each pixel in a plasma display panel individually emits light. Compared to an
LCD, which displays images by rotating liquid crystal molecules, the plasma
display panel maintains higher resolution in scenes with fast motion. You'll
love the clear, super-sharp images you get from VIERA when viewing action movies
or watching football, cricket, tennis and other sports events.
Outstanding Colour Reproduction even when viewed from an angle
Plasma technology delivers superior colour reproduction. When you view an LCD
from an angle, you'll notice that the skin tones appear whitish. With VIERA
plasma display panel, colours look virtually just as good from a sharp angle as
they do from directly in front. Digital HD TV broadcast transmissions are based
on a set of specifications called the HDTV Standard*. VIERA reproduces 100% of
the colour range specified in this standard. VIERA reproduces images from
digital HD broadcasts in their true original colour, with minimal colour shift.
* Name of standard: ITU-R BT.709
Incredible Contrast and the ability to clearly produce the darkest movie scenes
Plasma technology produces outstanding contrast performance. The incredible
contrast enables accureate reproduction of even the darkest movie scenes.

resolution.

a pixel to deliver smooth contour lines even at diagonal sections, where jagged
lines are normally conspicuous on a large screen.

for the environment extends to manufacturing as well. For example, VIERA circuit
boards are made using lead-free solder
