Panasonic 42" Plasma TV

The realism of a TV's image is strongly linked to its contrast ratio, and this Panasonic 42" plasma TV features a high contrast ratio of up to 3000:1. Such a wide range from black to white means great depth and dimensionality with vibrant colors - and this plasma can display an incredible 8.58 billion colors for a superior picture. Deep blacks provide excellent shadow detail during dark scenes, while brilliant whites allow this plasma TV to render bright scenes with vivid realism.

Panasonic plasma HDTVs with CableCARD slots can accept a small card that allows you to receive standard definition and high definition digital broadcasts. No bulky set-top cable box - perfect for a wall-mounted plasma TV. Just contact your cable company to find out if they offer this service in your area. Price: $2999 www.panasonic.com
