Panasonic plasma televisions vary in size and price. Panasonic lists televisions from 42 to 65 inches, with prices ranging from less than $500 to almost $6,000. After purchasing a Panasonic TV, consumers must adjust the settings in order to experience optimal viewing. People can adjust the aspect ratio, picture settings, color management and brightness. When a show with an aspect ratio of 4:3 displays on a wide-screen TV, black bars appear on the right and left of the picture. To prevent this from occurring, set your aspect ratio to the “Just” mode. The “Just” mode works with high-definition and standard-definition programming. It stretches the picture horizontally without causing much distortion. To prevent image burn-in, Panasonic advises consumers to “break in” their plasma television sets for 100 days and keep their televisions in the “Just” mode during that time. Writer Bio
