TCP50S60 - Panasonic 50" Black 1080P Plasma HDTV

The Panasonic TCP50S60 Plasma brings a whole new look to your favorite programs and movies. Poised to bring you the most vibrant colors and clarity to your living room, or home entertainment center, the Panasonic 50" plasma features a 600Hz sub-field drive that coverts the motion in scenes into data and each frame is displayed in a shorter length of time, leaving for a smoother picture, no matter how fast the action. There is also an excellent new feature called the contrast automatic tracking system, or C.A.T.S. that will adjust the TV screen's brightness according to the surrounding light availability. This way, the Panasonic 50 inch plasma TCP50S60 gives you the perfect picture, no matter your surroundings.

If you are environmentally conscious, the is right up your alley. The Panasonic 55 inch plasma is mercury and lead free. This reduced the impact on the environment, years down the line. Speaking of down the line, the new Panasonic VIERA panel will last for up to 100,000 hours before the brightness decreases. That's more than 30 years of viewing 8 hours a day from your favorite programs!

Features:

• 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 images
• Play Various Types of Formats Easily
  Simply insert a USB memory stick into the slot to enjoy previously saved music, or view photos and video clips on Viera's large screen. You can also add frames and other effects to your photos and videos, and create slide shows complete with background music. A wide variety of formats are supported, so you can play PC-based music files and web movies right on your TV
• Eco Mode
  This mode automatically turns the power off and adjusts the brightness depending on VIERA's operating status
• No signal for 10 minutes or no activity for 3 hours
  This setting automatically turns the power off when there's no image signal for 10 minutes or more, or when there's no activity for 3 hours or more
• Power Save
  This setting adjusts screen brightness to reduce power consumption
  
• C.A.T.S (Contrast Automatic Tracking System)
  This feature automatically adjusts screen brightness according to ambient light. When the room darkens, it lowers the screen brightness and adjusts the image quality, resulting in both easier viewing and power conservation
• Mercury and Lead Free
  Panasonic is committed to making our products friendlier to the environment. In line with this commitment, all VIERA plasma display panels are free of both lead and mercury. This reduces the impact on the environment years down the road when the TV is recycled or retired from use
• Long Panel Life
  One important way consumers can protect the environment is by choosing high-quality products and taking care of them so they last for a long time. A high-quality VIERA HDTV can help. Thanks to a newly designed phosphor process and rear panel process, our plasma panels last for up to 100,000 hours before the brightness decreases by half. That's more than 30 years of viewing 8 hours a day
