If you're ready for high definition, cinema-quality entertainment at home, this 53" Panasonic Diagonal Widescreen HDTV Projection Display is your ticket. Enjoy beautiful HDTV/EDTV programming in a widescreen, 16:9 aspect ratio format. Display features multi-format PIP capability and a 4-speaker, 30-watt sound system with surround sound.

Features:

• 16:9 Aspect Ratio
  Widescreen TVs feature a width-to-height ratio similar to movie theater screens, providing cinema-style entertainment at home, enabling full-screen viewing of high-definition broadcasts and DVDs produced in 16:9 format.
• 10-bit 60MHz A/D Image Processing
  Boosts conventional grayscale from 256 shades to 1024 shades, to deliver four times as many shades of black and white. This gives you a much finer image that more closely resembles the original analog signal.
• 165-Point Digital Convergence
  Convergence is the alignment of red, blue and green at a common point on a projection screen to produce white. In models with 165-point digital convergence, the red, blue and green images are aligned at more than 165 independent points on the projection screen. This method helps assure an accurate initial convergence setting at the factory and less likelihood that the convergence will require adjustment in the home environment. If adjustments are necessary, the TV can be serviced and the adjustments can be made with greater accuracy and in less time than with conventional methods.
• 2-Tuner P-I-P with Split Screen Display
  Lets you view two programs at once by dividing the screen in half down the middle. Each program is shown at full height, with one program on the left side and the other on the right. Audio is played form the program on the left. To listen to the audio from the program on the right, simply switch the pictures using the SWAP button.
• 9-Point Customer Convergence
  Normally adjustment is not necessary after initial alignment at the center of the screen. However, color fringing in any area of the screen can be optimized with a few remote keystrokes by following on-screen instructions in the set-up menu.
• Artificial Intelligence Sound Control
  Controls the sound level to prevent wide variations in volume among different TV channels and types of programming.
• BBE High Definition Sound
  Improves speech intelligibility, and restores the dynamic range of musical passages to help provide a more natural sound.
• Bass/Treble/Balance Controls
  Lets you easily adjust the sound of your TV to suit your tastes.
• Color Temperature Control
  Allows you to adjust the white balance toward either blue (cooler) or red (warmer).
• Enhanced Progressive Scan Doubler
  Provides even more image enhancement than our previous progressive scan technology by improving the quality of diagonal lines in a moving picture. It displays a full frame of video in 1/60th of a second by de-interlacing the incoming video signal and progressively scanning the image. With it, you generally don't see the horizontal scan lines that can be visible in ordinary television images.
• HD Enhancer Wideband Video Amplifier
  Expands the video signal frequency response to more than 10 MHz to allow for a horizontal resolution capability of more than 800 lines, depending on the source.
• HDMI / HDCP Interface
  HDMI is a new standard digital connection between A/V devices, such as a set-top box, DVD player or A/V receiver, and a digital television. HDMI offers exceptional video and audio quality with a single quick-disconnect connector. It supports multi-channel digital audio transmissions and component video color spacing for true rendering of HD video. HDMI supports the HDCP copy protection standard, allowing transmission of copy-protected digital content to your display. The video portion of HDMI is also backwards-compatible with DVI-HDCP devices using a special cable adapter.
• HDTV Display Capability (1080i, 480p)
  Experience images with lifelike detail and clarity when viewing HDTV broadcasts (1080i) and progressive scan DVD players (480p). Select models convert incoming 480i/480p signals to 540p for display. Please see individual models for details.
• Lighted Disc Universal Home Theater Remote,
  This illuminated remote control can be programmed to control many current video and audio devices, such as VCRs, cable TV boxes, DBS receivers, DVD players, stereo receivers, CD players and audiocassette tape decks.
• Motion Adaptive 3D-Y/C Digital Comb Filter
  Displays bright colors and fast-moving scenes with incredible clarity by minimizing the "color rainbow effect" in closely spaced patterns, compensating for the motion that occurs between fields. As a result, bright colors and fast action scenes are displayed with incredible clarity.
• Parental Control
  Video Lock, V Chip, Channel Lock
• Progressive Cinema Scan (3/2 Pulldown)
  Achieves exceptionally faithful movie reproduction through a sophisticated analog-to-digital conversion. Movies on film are converted to NTSC interlaced video (480i) for television by a process known as telecine conversion, in which the 24 frame-per-second film is converted to video at 60 fields per second. The fields are then paired to create 30-frame-per-second 480i video. Some of the frames will contain dissimilar pairs of fields derived from two different frames of the original film, which causes artifacts. Our Progressive Cinema Scan circuitry converts 480i video to 480p while restoring the original frames of the film for a more authentic movie reproduction.
• Scalable P-I-P Image Size
  Lets you choose the size of the picture-in-picture window from as small as 1/16 to as large as 1/4 of the main picture.
• Selectable Digital Velocity Modulated Scan
  Advanced circuitry along the neck of the CRT senses transitions from black to white in the video signal. The black and white portions of the signal are sped up and slowed down, respectively, resulting in sharp black-to-white transitions. For a more film-like picture when watching movies, you may want to selectively turn off this circuitry.
• Sleep Timer
  Turns the TV off after a specified amount of time so you can fall asleep to your favorite show.
• Video Input Labeling with Presets
  Lets you assign an on-screen label to each of the video inputs on the TV for easier identification of connected video sources. Video inputs can be labeled VCR or DVD, instead of VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, etc. Up to eight characters can be used for each label. Select models feature preset labels for even easier application.
• Video Input Skip
  When using the TV/VIDEO key on the remote to scan through available video and antenna/cable inputs, you can bypass selected inputs to save time. This feature is handy when you want to toggle between two inputs, such as the TV mode and VCR input on televisions with multiple inputs.
• Video Picture Memory
  Allows you to preset the TV's picture parameters to either Standard, Cinema or Vivid, according to various viewing platforms. For instance, you may choose the Cinema preset parameters for DVD movie viewing. Once a preset is chosen it will remain in effect regardless of which video input is selected.
• Wide Modes
  Zoom, Normal, Just, Full
