High Definition Plasma TVs

High definition plasma televisions offer a spectacular, high-resolution, widescreen picture and are a better choice than LCD technology for televisions 42" and larger due to better image processing, a wider viewing angle, and superior color reproduction.

Current High Definition Plasma Resolutions on the Market

High definition plasma televisions can display various resolutions, but the resolution displayed cannot surpass that of the broadcast source. Current television resolutions include 852x576 (576p), 1024x768, 1366x768 (720p), and 1920x1080 (1080p, or Full HD resolution).

For broadcasts, most networks output 576p, 720p, or 1080i resolutions, though 1080p broadcasts are becoming more common.

Features and Benefits of Panasonic High Definition Plasma

Panasonic plasmas offer several features and benefits that make it a respected brand. Viera chip-set processing results in a detailed picture with bold colors, deep blacks, high dynamic contrast ratios, and sharp, wide-angled viewing. Multiple HDMI ports allow connections with other HD components, and Viera Link provides one-button connectivity between the television and those components. Most Panasonic high definition plasmas are ENERGY STAR Qualified, reducing power output. Built-in speakers eliminate the need for a separate audio receiver, and an SD memory card slot allows users to view digital photo slideshows.

Features and Benefits of LG High Definition Plasma

For the budget-conscious buyer, LG plasmas offer quality at a low price. Boasting 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratios, the Dual XG Engine offers image quality two times higher than that of previous models. Front bezels now function as speakers, replacing the unsightly grill that detracted from the otherwise sleek plasma television aesthetic, while an Intelligent Sensor optimizes picture quality by analyzing the brightness and color temperature of the surrounding area to reduce unnecessary brightness. Setting itself ahead of other brands, LG offers Australia's first high definition plasma with a built-in HD Digital Video Recorder.

Features and Benefits of Pioneer High Definition Plasma

A premium plasma brand, Pioneer offers features and benefits surpassing those of other brands, including calibration features, Dolby Digital sound, and thin, 64mm sets. Pioneer's ninth generation monitor displays black levels five times over those of the previous model, and SR+ technology allows any Pioneer audio receiver to display its adjustment status and sound field parameters on the television, granting total control over a home theater system from the screen. Pioneer plasmas generously include Ethernet, HDMI, and USB connectivity. Pioneer's high definition plasma televisions are the crème de la crème for even the most discerning plasma enthusiast.
