PANASONIC TH-P42A2S VIERA MULTISYSTEM PLASMA TV FOR 110-240 VOLTS

Worldwide NTSC/PAL/SECAM Color System

Worldwide PAL BG, PAL I, Secam BG, DK/ PAL DK TV tuners

World-wide Dual Voltage 110-240 volts 50-60 hertz

Clear Sound

Clear, easy-to-hear sounds are achieved by facing the built-in speakers toward the area in front of the display. Sounds can be easily heard in front of the display, for clear, comfortable audio.

600Hz Sub-field Drive

600Hz technology lets you view superb motion images. For even greater clarity with motion images, Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology. This technology converts the motion in each scene into data. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce aftereffects.

Dynamic Contrast 2,000,000:1

VIERA incorporates an improved panel production process and the new Real Black Drive system. A pre-discharge control system, the Real Black Drive system achieves next-generation black reproduction. When you're watching movies, VIERA renders images just the way the director intended, even in scenes where it's difficult to achieve a proper balance of light and dark.

VIERA Image Viewer (Photo)

It's easy to view HD images with the SD card slot. Watch and show your photos right after you take them. Simply insert an SD Memory Card into VIERA to display photos on the large screen.

Game Mode

In Game Mode, quicker image response increases the enjoyment of video games when a game console is connected to the TV. What's more, VIERA produces the dark images in video games more clearly. This mode works with the anti-image retention (wobbling) function, too.
