Panasonic Smart VIERA 55" Class GT50 Series Full HD 3D Plasma HDTV

Panasonic TC-P55GT50 Features

• Active Shutter Progressive 3D Method: The display alternately shows images for the left and right eyes. The left and right lenses of the eyewear open and close in sync with this display timing to show separate images to the left and right eyes. By repeating this action at high speed, the brain perceives 3D images.
• Panasonic 'FULL HD 3D': Compatible with 1,080p 3D signal / Panel has native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080p display
• Crisp, Clear Moving Pictures / 2,500 Focused Field Drive: This original Panasonic technology detects image movements like the human eye, and optimizes the drive accordingly. By achieving instantaneously powerful light emission rather than finely divided emission, it reduces the afterimages that cause blurring.
• Deeper Blacks Even in Bright Rooms / Infinite Black Pro: Enhancements to the panel and cells help reproduce images with smooth, natural gradation and deep, rich blacks - even when viewed in bright surroundings. In movies, the true, deep blacks faithfully convey the intent of the filmmakers, adding power and realism to the viewing experience.
• Richer Black Details / 24,576 Equivalent Steps of Gradation: Even highly nuanced black images in dark areas that were previously impossible to express are now rendered with incredible fidelity. Finer light emission due to a newly developed drive technology raises the steps of gradation by as much as four times over previous systems.
• Color Reproduction Faithful to the Original, 1,080p Pure Direct: The 1,080p Pure Direct function transmits and outputs high-quality YUV 4:4:4 30-bit video signals directly to the TV. This reproduces colors that are highly faithful to the original.
• Beautifully Reproduced Crisp Lines Pure / Image Creation: Diagonal lines and edges are detected with high precision in each scene for all types of images, and optimal correction is applied to achieve beautiful, highly natural, noise-free lines.
• Expressive, Lifelike Colors Vivid Color Creation: The brightness, saturation, contrast and sharpness of colors are finely compensated in each scene. Highly vivid colors are produced with hardly any mutual interference. People's faces are also detected, and skin tones are beautifully corrected to ensure soft, natural complexions.
• Smooth Reproduction of Web Movies / Web Smoother: The blurring that often happens in web images is eliminated to produce naturally smooth motion.
• Easily Convert 2D Images into 3D / 2D-3D Conversion: Unique Panasonic technology converts 2D images into high-quality 3D images in real-time. The image depth is analyzed from the compositional, color and brightness data of each scene, to convert 2D images into naturally beautiful 3D images.
• 3D Conversion: In addition to ordinary TV programs, this method can be used to convert a variety of 2D images such as web content, Blu-ray Disc media, and photos and movies saved onto SD Memory Cards into 3D images with a high level of precision.
• Movie Content with Smooth Playback / 3D 24p Cinema Smoother: Enjoy naturally flowing 24p films and familiar TV-like quality. In plasma displays, increasing the number of frames creates smoother images. When reproducing images from a 24p film source, VIERA's 24p cinema smoother function generates smooth, natural-looking images.
• THX 3D Certified Display: In order to enjoy the original image quality of a movie, you need to have a display that portrays the images exactly as the movie's creators intended. VIERA has cleared the high standards set by the THX Certified Display Program. It reproduces both 2D and 3D images with cinema-like quality.
• 8-Train Speakers: Eight dome-type microspeakers with reflectors deliver wide-ranging, high-qualitysound. Only about 8 mm thick, these compact units also contribute to the beauty of the narrow-edge design.
• Super Slim Sub-Woofer: The sub-woofer, which is mounted to the rear surface of the panel, delivers robust bass sounds. Its super slim design, with a thickness of only 22 mm, helps to keep the entire display attractively thin.
• Sound Lifting Drive: Original Panasonic acoustic-field compensation technology produces highly accurate sound imaging. Matched to human auditory characteristics, the frequency for the bandwidth in which the sound is located is adjusted and the optimal compensation is applied.
• VIERA remote App Support - Smartphone Remote: VIERA remote App lets you use a smartphone or tablet device as a remote control.Tap and flick-based commands are intuitive. Text input is easy, too, with familiar keyboard operation. These handy devices also make great gamepads.

• VIERA Connect: VIERA Connect is an internet service for TVs based on the use of cloud servers. It brings you video-on-demand (VOD), catch-up TV, games, educational content, and lots more, through a wide range of apps. It's a great way to relax in your living room with family and friends.

Even dark scenes with delicately rendered details are beautiful and easy to see. Game mode makes all of the game apps on on VIERA Connect even more fun to play.
• Media Player: Simply insert an SD Memory Card or USB memory stick into the slot to enjoy previously saved photos, video clips and music on VIERA's large screen. You can also add frames and other effects to your photos and videos, and create slide shows complete with background music.

• Long Panel Life: One important way consumers can protect the environment is by choosing high-quality products. A high-quality VIERA HDTV can help. Thanks to a newly designed phosphor process and rear panel process, this plasma panel lasts for up to 100,000 hours before the brightness decreases by half.
• Eco Mode: This mode automatically turns the power off and adjusts the brightness depending on VIERA's operating status. Settings can be configured by selecting Eco mode from VIERA Tools.
• Stylish Metal Frame: Both simple and stunning, the fine metal frame surrounds the stylish face of this TV and clearly delineates the images that float onto the screen.
