The Panasonic Professional Display Company (PPDC) is pleased to announce the introduction of our new 11-Series lineup of 720p HD plasma displays – the 42-inch TH-42PH11UK and 50-inch TH-50PH11UK. These models maintain the Panasonic plasma essentials shared by our 10-Series lineup – superior image quality, flexible plug-in architecture, and world-class support – while adding some additional enhancements. Our new 11-Series HD Pro Plasmas have a new bezel design that provides the same viewing area and polished aesthetics indicative of our professional line. For even deeper, richer blacks, our 11-Series plasmas are our first models ever to achieve a contrast ratio of an incredible 15,000:1. Also new to our 720p models is improved video processing, now on par with our 1080p panels, that provides crisp, clear motion images with the equivalent of 4,096 shades of gradation. Our 11-Series plasmas are also equipped with the following series of feature enhancements focused on digital signage:
