Panasonic TH-65PX600U Plasma TV

1080p High-Def Resolution for Crisp, Lifelike Details
HDTV broadcasts, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs offer more detail and better color than analog broadcasts, and it takes a high-resolution display to deliver all that picture information. The extremely high 1920 x 1080 pixel count of this plasma TV allows for its incredible 1080p HD display capability which provides twice the number of pixels as 720p HDTV displays for superior detail and extraordinary HDTV reproduction. So, you'll be able to take full advantage of the breathtaking video quality offered by our Blu-Ray Disc players and other 1080p content.

Deep Blacks, Bright Whites, and 29 Billion Colors
The realism of a TV's image is strongly linked to its contrast ratio, and this plasma features a high contrast ratio of up to 5,000:1. Such a wide range from black to white means great depth and dimensionality with vibrant colors—and this plasma can display an incredible 29 billion colors for a superior picture. Deep blacks provide excellent shadow detail during dark scenes, while brilliant whites allow our plasmas to render bright scenes with vivid realism.

View Digital Programming Without A Cable Box
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. Contact your cable company to find out if they offer this service in your area.

Receive Over-The-Air HDTV Broadcasts
Sports, movies, and original network programming are all available in high definition from many local broadcasters. Receive and view local over-the-air broadcasts on this plasma in stunning HDTV clarity using the built-in HDTV tuner3. If your cable company passes through HDTV broadcasts from local broadcasters, you can decode and tune those as well.

Share Digital Photos On the Big Screen with Photo Viewer
The best images you can ever view on a Panasonic plasma don't have anything to do with HDTV. Share your JPEG photos taken with a Lumix® digital camera on a Panasonic plasma using the built-in SD card slot4. 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.

A Single Cable Carries High-Quality Digital Audio and Video 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 each accept high-quality digital video and audio via one thin cable, allowing you to run one cable from the source to the TV. Equipped with three of these next-generation terminals, this Panasonic Plasma TV is ready to be part of an expanding home AV system.

A Cinema-Style Viewing Experience At Home
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.

V-Chip Program Lockout
The V-Chip allows users to block programming that may be inappropriate for certain viewers. Using program ratings embedded in TV broadcasts, the V-Chip lets parents decide the programming to which their children have access. Blocked program material is accessible only by entering a 4-digit code that parents create. For more detailed information on V-Chip.
