And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce after effects.

* when using cinema mode
** Based on APDC measurement method.

VIERA Image Viewer

New VIERA models incorporate an improved panel production process and the new Real Black Drive system. A pre-discharge control system, the Real Black Drive system combines with NeoPDP technology to achieve next-generation black reproduction. When you’re watching movies, VIERA renders images just the way the director intended, even in scenes where it’s difficult to achieve a proper balance of light and dark.

* Dynamic Contrast

Wide Color Viewing Angle
