Panasonic PT61DLX76 61" 16:9 Titanium/Black DLP Technology 1080P Rear Projection TV With ATSC Tuner

Panasonic projection TVs with Texas Instruments DLP Technology utilize a small chip containing over a million microscopic mirrors that pivot back and forth in concert with a high-speed rotating color wheel. The advanced DLP optical system produces a bright, high-resolution, high contrast image in a display that is lighter and thinner than conventional CRT-based projection TVs. And, this model is equipped with incredible 1080p HD display capability, which provides twice the number of pixels as 720p HDTV displays. Panasonic TVs with DLP technology incorporate some of the latest DLP advances, including the HD2+ Digital Micromirror Device and an 8-segment color wheel that helps minimize dithering artifacts. The single chip design also allows for perfect convergence since there aren't separate chips for red, green, and blue like conventional projection displays.

The realism of a TV's image is strongly linked to its contrast ratio, and this TV features a high contrast ratio of up to 12,500: 11. Such a wide range from black to white means great depth and dimensionality with vibrant colors. Deep blacks provide excellent shadow detail during dark scenes, while brilliant whites allow DLP TVs to render bright scenes with vivid realism. If you have even a moderately complicated home theater setup, you probably have a pile of tangled cables on the floor behind it. Imagine replacing all those cables with a single cable that carries both digital video and audio at the same time. With HDMI, that's exactly what you get. The HDMI connectors on this TV accept high-quality digital video and audio via the same thin cable, allowing you to run one cable from the source to the TV.

The best images you can ever view on a Panasonic DLP TV don't have anything to do with HDTV. Share your JPEG photos taken with a Lumix digital camera on a Panasonic DLP TV using the built-in SD card slot. Simply insert the SD card, which is about the size of a postage stamp, into the SD slot on the TV and enjoy a photo slideshow. This widescreen TV features a width-to-height ratio similar to movie theater screens, providing a theater-like experience at home. View HDTV broadcasts and widescreen DVDs the way they were meant to be seen. The high pixel count of this DLP display provides fine detail for outstanding HDTV reproduction. More pixels also translate into less stair-stepping artifacts; curved and diagonal edges look smooth and natural.
