Which Viera is Right For You?

Smooth, graceful motion When you're watching sports or movies with fast-motion graphics, you want a TV that can keep up with the action. With over 900 lines of moving picture, self-illuminating plasma displays eliminate afterimages in fast-action scenes. So whether you're watching a sporting event or an action-packed movie, you'll always get the most impressive viewing experience possible.

1,000,000:1 Contrast The Panasonic's Real Black system (a pre-discharge suppression system) and improved panel production processes combine to reproduce outstanding blacks with superb contrast. Each image is richly expressive, from bright scense, like scorching desert landscapes, to dark cave scenes. Compare the image produced by conventional HDTV on the left to the Real Black image produced on the right

More Colors Viera HDTVs support the xvYCC color profile (Extended YCC Colorimetry for Video Applications), or "x.v. color" for short. Standard RGB color space allows the display of a portion of the colors that are viewable to the human eye. The next generation "xvYCC" color space actually offers  an available range of colors that exceeds what human eyes can recognize. Next-generation "xvYCC" color space supports 1.8 times as many colors as existing HDTV signals Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately Enables displays with more natural and vivid colors

Deep Color Where x.v. color expands the available range of colors your HDTV can display, Deep Color increases the number of colors your HDTV can display within that range, for smoother transitions from color to color. Lets HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors to billions of colors Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors Enables increased contrast ratio Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white.

Connectivity

	Videos and stills recorded on SD cards can easily be viewed via the SD slots on Panasonic Blu-Ray Disc players and Viera HDTVs.
	Viera Link means easy connectivity via HDMI cables. Finally, consumers can easily operate their Blu-Ray Disc players, DVD recorders and home theater systems with a single remote control device.

Long Life Panasonic plasma panels are rated to last 100,000 hours, which is about 30 years of regular or 11 years of non-stop usage before the brightness of the display is halved.

Get Full HD with Blu-Ray Disc Players A Panasonic 1080p plasma television is able to render 1920x1080 pixels, but standard DVDs have a resolution of just 720x480. Blu-ray discs output true 1080p High-Definition resolution and have a storage capacity ten times greater than standard DVDs, so no pixel gos to waste.

Video Features
This set's Panasonic PureFlat picture tube delivers rich, detailed images with excellent corner-to-corner depth. Unlike conventional curved screens, the PureFlat screen minimizes reflections and distortions, for optimal TV viewing no matter where you're sitting. It also features a three-line digital comb filter, which enhances resolution by removing the blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl. Its dual component video inputs help provide superior video images and color accuracy. Panasonic televisions with these component video inputs can accept either progressive or interlaced signals from a variety of sources, including DVD players and DTV set-top boxes. The progressive scan doubler displays almost twice as many video "frames" as a conventional television does, eliminating horizontal scan lines. And finally, this television doubles as an HDTV (high definition television) monitor, allowing you to view high-definition broadcasts when paired with an HDTV digital receiver. The HDTV digital format provides ultra-high resolution for an amazingly crisp, lifelike picture.

Audio Features
The CT-32HX41 features AI sound, an auto volume adjustment feature that sets a constant comfortable listening level. Its BBE technology also enhances speech intelligibility and optimizes the dynamic range of sound for music. Its easy, onscreen setup helps you set bass, treble, and balance. You can use the onscreen controls to adjust the volume of both the set's speakers and external speakers connected for a home theater setup. The set is also equipped with SAP (second language decoding) with dbx noise reduction.

Other Features
This unit features a two-tuner picture-in-picture with split-screen display, which lets you watch two TV programs simultaneously by dividing the screen in half, down the middle. Audio defaults to the program on the left; to listen to the program on the right, you simply switch the pictures with the SWAP button. Panasonic's Director lighted disc remote, recently redesigned to provide even easier and more accurate control, can control most current audio and video devices, including DVD players, VCRs, cable TV boxes, laser disc players, DBS receivers, stereo receivers, CD players, and cassette tape decks. This set also includes four sets of A/V input jacks (one front and three rear); the video is a composite video input. This set is Energy Star compliant.
