Outstanding Performance
The unit has 4096 shades of gradation and has up to a 5000:1 contrast ratio. Video noise reduction circuitry and a digital comb filter make sure the picture on screen is always optimal. The TH-50PZ700U will upconvert any signal you feed it and display it at 1080p. The TH-50PZ700U is 1080p, meaning it has a full 1920 x 1080 resolution, the highest HD resolution available for the clearest and sharpest picture. Because of its plasma display, the black levels are deep and the uniformity of brightness is superb.

An Understated Beauty
The TH-50PZ700U does not look like it’s trying too hard. Instead, it lets the big screen speak for itself. The glass is surrounded by a thick glossy black bezel on all sides, with a door on the bottom to keep controls out of sight. Another hatch hides a slot for SD memory cards. Speakers–matching in color and barely noticeable–are set on both sides of the display. The understated look would be an elegant addition to any decor.

The science behind plasma TV technology is really quite amazing. Plasma TVs are the latest in the world of televisions and offer features that TV viewers have never seen before. Plasma screens actually first entered the market towards the end of the year 1999, although they were invented and marketed long before that.

How it Works
The basic idea of a plasma display is to illuminate tiny, colored fluorescent lights that result in forming an image. Each separate pixel in the screen is made up of a red light, blue light, and a green light, which are then evenly distributed on the screen.

Xenon and neon atoms are a major part of plasma TV technology, and they are used in the plasma screens that release light photons when excited.
