It has to downconvert incoming 720p and 1080i images so that they conform to its 852x480-pixel resolution, however. A $4,500 37-inch version, the TH-37PA20U, will follow later this summer.   Specs: 42-inch plasma display; built-in NTSC tuner; 850x480-pixel resolution; 160-degree viewing angle; picture-in-picture and split-screen modes
