The TH-65PF9UK displays 2.07 million pixels, twice as many as standard HD models, and features a high contrast ratio of up to 5,000:1 and 16-bit processing for an outstanding 4,096 steps of color gradation.

    Review By Plasmatvbuyingguide

    This is the first 65″ 1080p plasma to be produced. In fact, it is one of the first 1080p plasma monitors to be produced and plays an important part in the plasma vs. lcd struggle for supremacy in the flat panel TV market. Sharp has already produced and shipped a 65” LCD 1080p model (65D90U), and Panasonic has matched them with this screen, which is readily available and sells for a relatively strong price point. The 65PF9UK panel is produced at Panasonics’ new state of the art plasma factory outside of Osaka Japan. Panasonic also has a consumer version of the same 65” plasma model TH-65PX600U, which also sells without the table stand and speakers which are common to consumer products. The inputs of the two products are the main differences. The TH-65PX600U has HDMI input built in and a built in tuner, while the TH-65PF9UK has a built in RS232 port, a built in 15 pin VGA input for computer, a DVI port and optional input cards for HDMI or additional component or composite inputs.

    Panasonic has also added a low-cost and energy-efficient VIERA PX50 digital HDTV series. The 50-inch TH-50PX50, 42-inch TH-42PX50 and 37-inch TH-37PX50 feature the same PEAKS System (a plasma panel, processor and driver) as the higher-models in the PX500 series to ensure superb picture quality. The new models use up to 43 percent less power per year on average as compared to the PX300 series. The new PX50 models have realized the compact design, reducing the width by 70 mm with speakers being placed below the PDP screen.

    Connection options are definitely limited compared to other HDTVs on the market. The panel comes with one component-video input that is also configurable to RGB (for computers or other RGB gear); a DVI input that can also accept HDMI sources when you connect an inexpensive adapter cable (it can take 1080p video or computer sources up to 1,920×1,200); a 15-pin VGA input for computers (1,600×1,200 maximum resolution) that can also serve as a second component-video input with the addition of an inexpensive adapter; and an RS-232 control port. It’s also worth noting that the component ports don’t use standard RCA-style connectors. You’ll have to buy inexpensive adapters, available at any RadioShack, to turn the BNC-style jacks into RCA jacks that will fit most A/V gear. Also of note, the TH-50PF9UK doesn’t include any standard-definition composite- or S-Video connections

    This built-in image-enlarging function makes it easier to set up multi-screen systems with as many as 16 displays (4×4 configuration). A new function lets you enlarge the image up to 4x vertically and horizontally independently, making it easy to set up a multi-screen system with up to four displays arranged either vertically or horizontally. For example, expand the image horizontally to 4x and leave it unchanged vertically, and you can create a system with four units side-by-side. This is ideal in bank lobbies, airports and other places where you want a large display system that can be read from a distance. Thanks to the ID control function, you can use the standard remote control unit to control multiple panels individually. There is also a mode that displays a full-screen image, including the edges (the width of the frame) of the display panel. This is especially suitable for displaying text information, since no words are hidden by the frame.
