Panasonic worked with experts in Hollywood—the movie capital of the world—to create the ideal image reproduction for viewing movies. This allows the PT-AX200 to deliver true Hollywood picture quality, with images that faithfully express the director’s artistic intent.
The Pure Color Filter was born from Panasonic’s pursuit of optical technology that delivers true Hollywood picture quality. The light spectrum is adjusted to produce a level of light that maximizes the performance of the LCD panels, which expands the color range and produces truer blacks.
Developed exclusively by Panasonic, this effectively reduces the black lines between pixels that mar picture quality. The high-definition picture of the PT-AX200 is remarkably smooth and film-like, while remaining amazingly sharp and detailed.
Dynamic Iris has been refined to provide deeper, richer blacks needed for true image reproduction with stunning smoothness. This technology adjusts the lamp power, iris, and gamma curve according to data obtained from frame-by-frame histogram analysis of the image brightness level.

The new Advanced Dynamic Sharpness Control determines image areas that need to be sharpened at varying degrees by examining small changes in brightness levels within the image. This greatly reduces noise amplification and delivers clear and natural looking images.

CCM makes it possible to reproduce images that closely match the colorist's intention. Before CCM was developed, correcting one color affected certain others. This proven technology now allows individual correction of approximately 1,070,000,000 colors, and it also controls both contrast and brightness. With CCM, color correction more closely approximates the process used for motion pictures.
The PT-AX200 lets you decide how images look on your screen. In each of seven preset picture modes, you can adjust the high, mid and low gamma levels. That's a total of 34,391 possible setting combinations. Also, the control screens are more legible and easier to use than in previous models. This makes customizing the picture easier and gives you better results. Up to eight sets of adjustment settings can be stored in memory.
A image processing engine improves quality when resizing 480P images or those from other sources with resolution lower than the PT-AX200's native resolution. This lets you enjoy beautiful images from your existing video game and DVD library.
You can select the picture characteristics that best match the source material at the touch of a button.

This noise reduction system detects the amount of change in the input signal from one scene to the next, and calculates the amount of noise to remove accordingly. It effectively blocks regular noise and minimizes mosquito noise.
PT-AX200
MPEG Noise Reduction OFF
Direct playback of 24 fps (frames per second) progressive video signals suppresses noise and optimizes the natural film quality of movies.
This function detects when the input signal is derived from filmed material. HD IP then allows the PT-AX200 to convert the signals and attains higher image quality than was possible with conventional models.
