Groundbreaking display technology delivers superior image clarity, color and brightness in large-format televisions that are less than 4'' thick. High 1280 x 720p resolution format produces extremely detailed imagery.
Zenith's 60-inch P60W38 HD-ready television uses groundbreaking gas-plasma display technology to deliver superior image clarity, color, and brightness in widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio), large-format television that's less than 4 inches thick. Load up your home theater gear and plug in your PC: the P60W38 handles most, with a total of five video source inputs and two accompanying audio inputs.
The Benefits of HDTV | | | | | | Standard TVs (SDTVs) display a maximum of 480 lines using the interlaced scan method, which creates a picture with alternating lines of information. | | | | | | Enhanced-definition TVs (EDTVs) display a maximum of 480 lines using the progressive-scan method, which creates an image using consecutive lines of information for a crisp, flicker-free picture. | | | | | | High-definition TVs (HDTVs) display a maximum of either 1,080 interlaced lines or 720 progressively scanned lines for the sharpest possible image. | | |
With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the P60W38 is a mere 3.9 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting (please be aware that both table stand and mounting kit are optional). Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.
The P60W38's 1,280 x 720 resolution produces extremely detailed imagery, while its super-sharp (1,000:1) contrast ratio delivers rich colors and deep blacks. The set's amazingly high (1,000 cd/m2) brightness gives you an incredibly bright picture, even in well-lit areas.
Aspect-ratio correction lets you resize video and computer images to either 16:9 widescreen or 4:3 conventional formats, while Zenith's Intelligent Image Scaling employs a Faroudja/Sage scan converter to seamlessly convert TV video data to PC formats without distortion or cropping of images (in either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios).
RS-232 controls and NTSC, HD, VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA inputs makes the unit compatible with DVD players, VCRs, computers, digital broadcasting, multimedia, and traditional video sources.

1 Better than Expected
I have not had a good history with the past Zenith products that I have bought, but I thought I would give this tv a chance. I did, and I am thankful for it. The picture is very clear and the sound is wonderful. I have had it for a couple of months now, and have had no problems with it. I recommed it to anyone who is skeptical about buying it because of the brand.
2 Good Quality...Bad Brand
The reason I bought this TV is that I was moving into my apartment and my 1989 TV was breaking down. I had to take it to six repair shops just to see the picture. I gave that away and I knew that I had to go pricy and get a Plasma TV. I like very big TV's and I knew 60" was the way to go. Sony was the best brand of the choice but their's were for $19,999.99 which is $10,000.00 more than this Zenith. But when I went to Target and got this TV I was suprised that it had good picture quality. Zenith is a horrible brand but this TV they did a good job on. I got BOSE Speakers with it to really pump up the sound too. This is a wonderful TV but if you want a terrifically wonderful TV you have to get the Sony!
3 This TV is okay...
I bought this TV from a local electornics store with about the same price. HDTV gives great detail but its almost 2 big for its own good. Most television shows are show in widescreen so bars sit on the sides of your tv while you watch tv. It also has small speakers if you buy this you might need to get other speakers. But other then that is an excellent purchase. Its a little hard to set up but, once its up it good. This wont break down on you at all.
