True High-Definition
Pioneer PureVision Plasma TV's are True High Definition units, supporting all HD modes and providing a native 1024 x 768p (p for progressive) resolution (1280 x 768 on 50 inch). They will still display SD signals as well, so you're set for the present and well into the future.
HD Converter
Straight lines on objects like
fences or stairs often appear to have jagged edges when viewed
on a typical plasma panel. The Pioneer PureVision Plasmas all
feature an HD Converter with 84 detection points on the
screen. The built-in HD Converter cleans up the edges and
reduces overall distortion giving you a smooth picture.
Deep Encased Cell Structure
Pioneer's Deep Encased Cell Structure technology provides a more
energy-efficient, brighter picture by isolating the phosphors and
allowing a greater depth to contain them. The cells are also lined by
black stripes to absorb excess light and glare, preventing the image
from looking washed out.

Over One Billion
Colors
Pioneer's Advanced Continuous Emission IV technology
provides
1,073,741,824 True Colors! Pioneer's ACE IV
technology provides 1024 grayscale steps for each primary color
(Red, Green, Blue) enabling greater color gradation. This means
that the Pioneer PureVision Plasmas deliver truly deep blacks and
finer detail, no matter what the source material may be.
Noise Reduction and Distortion
Seen as clouds of tiny dots, video noise is no longer an issue
with a Pioneer PureVision Plasma Display. Three methods of noise
reduction are employed by the PureVision line, MPEG noise
reduction, Digital Noise Reduction Circuitry and a 10-Bit Digital
Color Decoder. No matter what you may be viewing, images will be
crystal clear and noise-free.
Pioneer PureVision Display Panels employ proprietary noise reduction technology to reduce distortion and eliminate video noise. Artifacting occurs on many widescreen plasma display panels when regular tv pictures are animorphically stretched from their native 4:3 resolution to the 16:9 resolution of a Plasma Display Panel. This creates blocky, fuzzy, overly-stretched images. Pioneer's Natural Resize Technology corrects these problems, allowing you to enjoy your plasma display to its fullest.
Example of Video Noise
PureVision Noise Reduction
Other plasma display panels perform multiple conversions from analog to digital, then back and forth before the image finally emerges onto the screen. These conversions add video noise and degrade the image.
Pioneer PureVision Plasma Display Panels use Pure Drive II technology, an innovative new process that maintains a digital path throughout signal processing. Pure Drive II technology provides an optimal picture with virtually no video noise or loss of quality.
Pure Vision 10-Bit 3D Y/C Separation
Most plasma tv display panels show messy, distracting lines of dots on faces and other contoured objects. This effect, referred to as "dot-crawl," can be avoided by keeping Y signals (brightness) and C signals (color) apart.
Pioneer's 10-Bit 3D Y/C Separator gives greater detail to the video information and provides more power to keep the Ys separate from the Cs, clearing up dot-crawl.
