Panasonic TCP46S2 46" 1080p plasma HDTV



Size, speed, detail, fluid motion . . . the 46" Panasonic TC-P46S2 has it all. While the Full HD plasma panel's 1920 x 1080p resolution is ideal for watching HD video from sources like Blu-ray Disc, a 600Hz subfield drive and 2,000,000:1 native contrast ratio team up to deliver seamlessly fluid motion as well as crisp detail and color. Further, allowing you to share all your digital photos with friends and family without huddling around a computer, the TC-P46S2 combines VIERA Image Viewer technology with a built-in SD card slot. For optimal single-cable connectivity to HD audio and video sources, look to three HDMI inputs. Finally, ENERGY STAR qualification ensures energy-efficient operation.

Prepare yourself . . . 46", 600Hz, and Full HD 1080p

So, the TC-P46S2 has caught your eye . . . Be honest, now, there's only one reason a person even considers a Panasonic plasma panel: Epic home theater. Period. Not only does this Panasonic plasma flat panel offer a Full HD 1080p display resolution — ideal for HD viewing from sources like Blu-ray Disc — but it also sports a native contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1 for deep, inky black levels that ensure exceptional detail and color purity. And this VIERA panel is just getting started . . . For incredibly smooth, and lifelike motion, even when watching fast-action sports and movies, look to 600Hz subfield motion technology. This technology increases frame-rate conversion from 24 fps, 30fps, or 60fps to an astounding 600fps, delivering seamless transitions between frames. You experience all of the fluidity of natural motion without any of the shakiness inherent in other playback technologies. Finally, an anti-reflective filter minimizes panel glare for a clear, clean HD image in any viewing environment.

Show off your latest shots

Ever since you invested in your new digital camera, you haven't been able to stop shooting. Whether snapping quick shots at a party with friends, or documenting your adventure into the great outdoors, it's been a rare moment when your finger wasn't on the shutter button. While you love shooting, your only frustration is having to share all your latest pictures with friends and family on your tiny computer screen. If only there were a better venue . . . Enter the TC-P46S2 from Panasonic. Featuring VIERA Image Viewer technology, this HDTV allows you to convert the plasma display into a 46" photo gallery. And all you have to do is remove the SD card from your digital camera and insert it in the TC-P46S2's built-in SD card slot. That's it. From there, you can quickly begin browsing photos with your choice of five display effects and five audio tracks. Panasonic TCP46S2

Connection-city

Sure, what's on the front of an HDTV (i.e. the screen) is central to the level of your home theater experience, but equally important is what you find on the back. We're talking connections. Today's world of home theater demands that any A/V component be equipped to mesh perfectly with the rest of your home theater. Components that don't offer sufficient connectivity options deliver sub-par performance. Bringing you optimal system-connectivity, the TC-P46S2 offers a diverse array of audio and video inputs. Topping the list, of course, are three HDMI inputs. Ideal for use with HD satellite and Blu-ray Disc, HDMI allows transmission of Full HD video and 7.1-channel lossless audio along a single cable. Further, offering connectivity to DVD players, gaming consoles, and other devices, this plasma HDTV sports two component-video and two composite-video inputs.

ENERGY STAR efficiency

Seeking to meet your demand to reduce energy use and preserve the environment, Panasonic has made sure that the TC-P46S2 meets the U.S. government's standard for ENERGY STAR qualification. What does the ENERGY STAR qualification mean? ENERGY STAR is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. For the family or homeowner, energy efficient choices can reduce energy consumption and expenses by up to one third while resulting in similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice. When a product boasts the ENERGY STAR qualification, this means the product meets stringent government standards set by the EPA and US Department of Energy for conserving both energy and the environment. So whether you are concerned for the environment, your pocket book or both, this appliance helps ensure both are given an easier load to bear. Panasonic TCP46S2

The advanced connectivity of HDMI

Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Panasonic's TC-P46S2 features three HDMI connections. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)

Your HD lifeline

High Definition Multimedia Interface, or HDMI, is the only home A/V connection that allows for both Full HD 1080p video and 7.1-channel studio-quality audio to be passed along a single cable. In other words, in order to take full advantage of your home theater's high definition potential, you need to HDMI cabling to link HD-capable components. It's only natural that you might have questions regarding how best to outfit your personal HD system. Vann's sales representatives are here to explain all of your options.
