Real MACH System: The Industry's Best Overall Picture Quality
Panasonic developed two new advanced components and integrated them in a synergetic way to form what it calls the Real MACH system. The MACH Crystallizer provides the best driving characteristics for the display device. The MACH (Multifacet Asymmetrical Configuration Hyper-pixel) Panel then delivers the image's full quality potential. Together, these Panasonic plasma display technologies reproduce images with the gradation and sharpness levels that are best suited to the way the human eye perceives objects. The result is picture quality and image depth that make for a high-impact viewing experience.

Functions that Improve Usability
Panasonic plasma displays offer a host of versatile functions that maximize display performance. For example, with Dual Picture mode you can simultaneously display signals from any two connected AV sources onto a single screen. Or with Digital Zoom, you can enlarge a portion of an image by up to three times normal size for added impact. These and other functions make Panasonic plasma display panels an excellent choice for professional applications.

Multi-Function Slots Accommodate a Host of Uses
Panasonic's new plasma displays now come equipped with three of the multi-function slots that proved so popular in previous models. These slots, together with a variety of terminal boards available as options, let you customize the unit to meet your specific needs.

Features:

New Real Black Drive System - Ensures correct black level to produce more natural pictures and the industry leading exceptional 4,000:1 contrast ratio.

Super Real Gamma Correction Circuitry - Optimizes luminance gradation within a scene, providing far better reproduction of low-light elements. Reproduces 1,536 shades of gradation with analog connection and up to 2,048 shades using the optional TY-42TM4D DVI terminal board providing a DVI based digital RGB connection.

C.A.T.S. (Contrast Automatic Tracking System) - Automatically senses the ambient light conditions and adjusts the brightness and gradation accordingly. Provides the best possible picture contrast for each operating environment. This feature also helpsreduce power consumption and minimize phosphor aging.

Absolutely great plasma TV.......2004-12-05

I purchased this TV a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it. We put it on our fireplace mantel, but we were a little concerned that it would be too high to see the picture. Amazingly, the picture looks great, not only while sitting on the couch, but from any angle in the living room. The picture never looks too dark either. I watched The Matrix on it this morning and the picture was beautiful and I could see everything perfectly.

The reason I didn't give this TV 5 stars, is because of the few things that are not included with the TV purchase:

* TV does not come with a stand. You are expected to either mount it on a wall or pay $180+ for the optional stand (which I did).

* TV does not come with cables of any kind. If you think you'll be able to twist in the cable TV cord into the back of the TV like on a regular TV, you can't. On a basic cable box (which does not receive HD channels) you can connect using an S-video connection. If you have an HD cable box, you can use the component video connection. I did not feel like waiting for the cable company to bring out a new HD box, so I connected mine to the TV with the S-video and used the component video for my DVD player.

* TV does not come with speakers. You have to either purchase the optional speakers or you can use speakers you already have and connect them in the connections for the speaker wire.

Nonetheless, it is a fantastic TV and I am very happy with my purchase.
