TH-42PX500U 42-IN HDTV Plasma Television with CableCARD Slot and PC Input

Deep Blacks, Bright Whites, and 8.58 Billion Colors 1
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 3000:1.2 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 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 tuner.3 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 slot.4 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 the new HDMI standard, that's exactly what you get. The HDMI connector on this TV accepts high-quality digital video and audio via the same thin cable, allowing you to run one cable from the source to the TV.

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.

Crisp, Lifelike Details
HDTV broadcasts and DVDs offer more detail and better color than analog broadcasts, and it takes a high-resolution display to deliver all that picture information. The high pixel count of this plasma 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.



1. Maximum, in scenes with low brightness.
2. Panel contrast ratio.
3. Optional external over-the-air antenna may be required for ATSC reception.
4. Allows display of JPEG still images that are compliant with DCF specifications.
