Amazon.com Product Description
Slender and stately, Panasonic's PT-47WX53 projection television makes a powerful statement for high quality, rich features, and affordable pricing. The 47-inch set's broad HDTV/EDTV display capability (1080i, 480p) lets you view high-definition or enhanced-definition TV programming from an optional DTV set-top box with an ATSC receiver or from a progressive-scan DVD player. The set's wide, 0.52 mm fine-pitch screen is configured in a 16:9 aspect ratio, the standard for HDTV broadcasts as well as for widescreen DVD movies.
Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional video picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Panasonic's Progressive Cinema Scan (3:2 pulldown) provides faithful reproduction of film-based materials. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; Progressive Cinema Scan digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
Ten-bit A/D image processing boosts conventional grayscale gradations by a factor of four, producing four times as many shades of black and white and a bright picture that closely resembles the original analog source material. A progressive-scan up-converter makes horizontal scan lines virtually invisible.
A motion-adaptive 3D-Y/C digital comb filter displays bright colors and action scenes with incredible clarity by minimizing the "color rainbow effect" in closely spaced patterns, compensating for the motion that occurs between fields. Included 10-bit, 60 MHz analog-to-digital image processing boosts conventional grayscale from 256 to 1,024, delivering four times as many shades of black and white.
Digital velocity-modulated scanning improves definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.
Two-tuner picture-in-picture with split-screen display lets you view two programs at once by dividing the screen in half down the middle. Each program is shown at full height, with one program on the left side and the other on the right. PIP benefits from 8-bit processing, making the inset nearly as crisp as the main picture. The inset picture is scalable in size, from .0625x to .25x.
For connections, the set offers four composite-video inputs, including one in front for easy hookup of a camcorder or gaming console. There are three S-video inputs (including one in front) and two sets of component-video inputs. The TV is also equipped with a direct digital DVI (Digital Visual Interface) connection with HDCP copy protection.
Other features include horizontal and vertical edge correction, Artificial Intelligence Picture Control (continuously monitors signal conditions to maintain high contrast), Artificial Intelligence Sound (minimizes variances in sound level), video noise reduction (compares individual pixels of two consecutive fields, then removes noise), BBE High Definition Sound (improves speech intelligibility and restores musical dynamic range), nine-point user convergence capability, an eye-catching 3-D on-screen menu system, and a light-disk remote control.
Channel banner captures information transmitted with each program--such as station identification and V-chip ratings--and places it onscreen in a semi-transparent banner. An easy-to-clean screen shield protects the screen from nicks, scratches, and fingerprints.

Great TV.......2006-11-27
Love this tv!!.......2004-10-29
Great.......2004-09-12
Great value.......2004-04-06
Set has some problems: _NOT_ recommended.......2004-03-16
I had service technican come out to fix the above noted problems. Technican found that he had to manually adjust the RGB guns as well as use the service screens(software adjustments were not enough), and even after gun was adjusted, the edge convergence was not very good. The 64 point convergence screen does not allow technican to adjust the bottom and the top row of cross-hairs(very strange). So, after all these adjustments, it looked better, but, still the convergence was not very good at the edges. When each gun displayed the grid separately, some of the gun could not be made to display straight lines on some of the lines, especially the bottom line.
I have other issues with this unit such as poor and insufficient manual, RF inputs that forgets channel memory when switching from cable to broadcast, and two RF input requirement of having same type of input (cannot have RF of cable, and regular broadcast), poor PIP adjustments/control etc.
But, basically, this unit is going back.
I recommend that you stay way from this unit. The factory settings were horribly out of spec. There must be QA problems at Panasonic. My experience with Panasonic has not been that great in recent years.
After several purchases of Panasonic, this will be my last.
