ZT60
The ZT60
Studio Master Panel
The ZT60 is called "Beyond the reference level of picture quality‖.
The Studio Master Panel used on this TV produces ultimate black color, contrast and crisp
image edges.
The outer front glass is applied directly to the plasma panel, thus eliminating any gaps which
cause picture interference like double images or internal reflections.
This panel is comprised of the Infinite Black Pro Panel with the Ultra Filter –combining to
make the ―Ultra‖ panel.
The ultra filter (Louvered filter) is not actually part of the panel but an overlay of sorts that
enhances depth perception and also black levels by absorbing in-room light and not allowing it
to escape.

Studio Master Panel
Slide 9Slide 9
Studio Master Panel
The Studio Master Panel featured in our top-of-the-line ZT60 Series Plasma TVs
offers reference-level optical performance with superb bright-field contrast and
sharp, crisp images. By eliminating the conventional air layer between the panel and
the front glass, the Studio Master Panel minimizes reflections from external light,
and improves panel light transmission, for the ultimate in big screen picture quality.
