HDTV TVs

For 2008, Panasonic has introduced a new 46 screen size, starting with the 1080p TH-46PZ80U. It’s perfect for folks who can’t fit a 50 TV, but don’t want to settle for a 42. This set boasts the outstanding picture contrast and black levels of the other PZ80 models. By tightly controlling the light output of each plasma cell, Panasonic has increased the contrast ratio to a remarkable 20,000:1. And a new anti-reflective filter cuts down on distracting screen reflections of room lights. Why 1080p mattersIf you look at all of the high-definition programs available from broadcast, cable, and satellite TV sources, you’ll find that most of them use the 1080i format 1920 x 1080 pixels. The TH-46PZ80U’s screen is a pixel-perfect match so you won’t miss any details. By comparison, 720p plasmas must downconvert 1080i signals, throwing away a significant amount of picture information. The downconverted image still looks crisp and clear, but there’s definitely less fine detail. Built-in HD tuners for over-the-air receptionThe TH-46PZ80U’s built-in analog/digital tuner can pull in every type of over-the-air TV broadcast, including gorgeous, free HDTV (antenna required). In addition, the set’s QAM tuner conveniently allows cable TV subscribers to watch most unscrambled channels without the need for a set-top box including local network HD channels in many areas. Clever connections that do moreThe generous array of audio/video connections includes three HDMI digital inputs for hooking up the latest high-def components. If you’re using other recent Panasonic HDMI-equipped components, the VIERA Link control system enables you to operate compatible models like a Panasonic Blu-ray Disc player using only the TV’s remote. A front-panel memory card slot makes it easy to show off your digital photos on a big, beautiful screen and without booting up your computer.

Every year Panasonic’s plasma HDTVs get better, and 2008 is no different. The sleek and slender 50 TH-50PZ80U will wow you with its outstanding picture contrast and black levels. By tightly controlling the light output of each plasma cell, Panasonic has increased the contrast ratio to a remarkable 20,000:1. And a new anti-reflective filter cuts down on distracting screen reflections of room lights.

No company has done more to refine plasma TV picture quality while also lowering prices than Panasonic. The 42 TH-42PZ85U delivers a stellar picture, yet is one of their more affordable 1080p models. For 2008, Panasonic’s #1 goal was improving picture contrast. The PZ85 models display strikingly cinematic images with velvety blacks and an ultra-high contrast ratio of 30,000:1. And that’s the native contrast ratio, which is a better indicator of real-world performance than the more common dynamic contrast spec. Why 1080p mattersIf you look at all of the high-definition programs available from broadcast, cable, and satellite TV sources, you’ll find that most of them use the 1080i format 1920 x 1080 pixels. The TH-42PZ85U’s screen is a pixel-perfect match so you won’t miss any details. High-def video looks stunningly crisp and clear even as close as five or six feet away. By comparison, 720p TVs must downconvert 1080i signals, throwing away a significant amount of picture information. The downconverted image still looks very good, but there’s definitely less fine detail. Built-in tuners for over-the-air receptionThe TH-42PZ85U’s built-in analog/digital tuner can pull in every type of over-the-air TV broadcast, including gorgeous, free HDTV (antenna required). In addition, the set’s QAM tuner conveniently allows cable TV subscribers to watch most unscrambled channels without the need for a set-top box including local network HD channels in many areas. Hook up all your high-def sources, and plug in your PCAudio/video connections include five HD-capable inputs: three HDMI and two component video for the latest high-def components. The TH-42PZ85U accepts 1080p video signals through the HDMI inputs handy for connecting a Blu-ray high-def disc player. A standard PC input lets you connect your computer for those times when you want a bigger view for work or play.

With the recent “Lich King” client update, WOW not properly supports widescreen monitors and Surround Gaming rigs. This is a comparison video, showing the increased FOV when going from 16:10 widescreen to widescreen Surround (3x 16:10).

This is a montage of all the Alliance opening cinematics. The individual race cinematics are also posted. On a 16:10 monitor, the cinematic is rendered at an aspect ratio wider than 16:10 (something close to 2.35:1). Notice how the 16:10 screen video at the top is acutally letterboxed.
