The Panasonic TH-P50U50Z Full HD Plasma delivers exceptional picture quality with 6,144 steps of gradiation.  With a 600Hz sub-field drive, the TH-P50U50Z plasma has excellent motion picture handling.  The ability to display 1080 lines of moving picture resolution ensures crystal clear images even when the action is fast.  With optional WiFi* and DLNA networking technologies your Viera plasma can communicate seamlessly with other compatible devices around your home - streaming multimedia content to your TV.

 

Full-HD

To display beautiful pictures on a large screen, the display panel must be able to render high-density images. The Panasonic TH-P50U50Z  features a Full-HD Plasma panel with 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. Panasonic's image stabilisation and high-speed drive technology make it possible to reproduce HDTV broadcasts in their full, original resolution and produce fine image detail from other high-resolution sources.

 

 

 

600Hz Sub-field Drive

Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology. This technology converts the motion in each scene into data, and each frame is virtually displayed in a shorter length of time, to create crisp images1.

 

Media Player (USB Playback / Photo and Music)

Simply insert a USB memory stick into the slot to enjoy previously saved photos and music on VIERA's large screen. You can also add frames and other effects to your photos and create slide shows complete with background music.

 

 

Viera Link™

Viera Link™ interlinks the operation of various AV devices, so you can operate them all using only the Viera remote. Setup is easy, too - simply connect the devices to each other via HDMI cables.

 

WiFi Ready

It is easy to connect to the internet or a home network by using the Wireless LAN Adapter2. There is no need for cords or cables, so the layout is flexible and the room stays neat and uncluttered. Using a wireless connection for VIERA Connect and employing the DLNA function make it easy to share photos and movies.

 

DLNA

A DLNA-compatible VIERA makes network connection super easy. It makes content easy to share by linking equipment over a home network3. Enjoy photos, movies, music and more in the living room, bedroom, or any room in the house.

 

Game Mode

Games are much more fun when there's no lag in operation. Viera automatically chooses settings that provide the optimal image, so you get super-fast response and no delays. Even dark scenes with delicately rendered details are beautiful and easy to see.

 

Mercury and Lead Free Plasma Display Panel

Panasonic is committed to making our products more friendly to the environment. In line with this commitment, all Viera plasma display panels are free of both lead and mercury. This reduces impact on the environment years down the road when the TV is recycled or retired from use.



*WiFi is available via an optional WiFi dongle (Model TY-WL20A)
