Product Description:
Above and Beyond: The Panasonic Commitment to Customer Satisfaction The Image Quality and Versatility You Need Today, the System Expandability You'll Want Tomorrow. Expressivity that goes above and beyond previous limits A host of Panasonic imaging technologies combine to achieve both the industry's highest gradation and outstanding 4,000:1* contrast. The accuracy and detail our displays provide cannot be adequately expressed by specifications alone. Their overall image quality goes far beyond conventional standards. They provide pictures with the kind of breathtaking beauty that stirs emotion. Functions and expandability to meet a variety of applications Dual Picture, Digital Zoom, multi-screen capability and other advanced functions enhance the usability of our displays. Our popular Multi-Function Slots are also provided. And we've expanded our lineup of optional terminal boards, making our displays solutions to an even wider range of customer needs. The Industry's Best Overall Picture Quality Technologies for Increasing Contrast and Gradation Stunning 3000:1 Dark-Area Contrast* - New Real Black Drive System By reducing the pre-discharge emission when reproducing black, the New Real Black Drive System provides deeper, richer blacks and a stunning 3000:1 contrast*. The result is dramatically enhanced image clarity and realism. * For the SD models. Even Higher Bright-Area Contrast - Deep Black Filter The front protective glass of the plasma display panel incorporates a Deep Black Filter that suppresses light transmittance and slashes the amount of external light reflected. This helps our displays achieve the industry's highest level of contrast when viewed in bright surroundings. 2,048 Shades of Gradation in Dark Scenes - New Super Real Gamma System In scenes with low brightness levels, the New Super Real Gamma System reproduces gradation in steps equivalent to 2,048 shades. In other words, this original, non-linear signal processing system provides superior performance at brightness levels where the human eye sees best. As a result, it adds subtle nuances to darker scenes and gives images greater depth. Technologies for Increasing Brightness 10% Brighter Images - New MACH Panel with Bounded Cell Structure The New MACH (Multifacet Asymmetrical Configuration Hyper-pixel) Panel features a bounded cell structure in which wall-like ribs are used to wrap each individual cell. By increasing the area in which the phosphor can be applied, this dramatically improves both light-emitting efficiency and intensity. Furthermore, improvements to the drive circuit and plasma gas inside the panel have enabled Panasonic to boost peak brightness while actually lowering power consumption compared with our previous models. As a result, peak brightness is boosted by 10% compared with a previous Panasonic model. The new panel structure boasts a long service life of 60,000 hours*. A newly developed phosphor also raises the plasma displays' resistance to static-image screen burning to the same level as CRT displays. * The time until panel brightness is reduced to half its initial level. The service life given above is intended as a guideline when displaying standard moving images. However, this time varies depending on the content of the images displayed and the usage environment. High-Contrast Images with a High S/N Ratio - Adaptive AGC Our previous automatic gain control (AGC) detected the brightness level of the entire image, then boosted it as necessary. This had a drawback, in that it tended to increase noise and black-out parts of the image where the video signal did not require boosting. Adaptive AGC raises contrast while suppressing noise by detecting and boosting only the image edges. Note: The default setting for the Adaptive AGC is OFF. Technologies for Improving Picture Clarity and Colors Cleaner Moving Images - High-Precision MPD Noise Reduction This newly developed technology dramatically reduces MPD (Motion Picture Disturbance) noise to deliver crisp, clean moving images. Using a Panasonic original algorithm, it detects motion patterns that tend to generate noise and makes the necessary adjustments to maximize image quality. And it does this without diminishing the quality of stationary objects, such as those in the background. Vibrant Colors and Natural Skin Tones - 3D Color Management System 3D Color Management System is a new correction process that works in a three-dimensional color matrix (hue, saturation, and brightness) rather than the conventional two-dimensional color difference plane. By correcting hue and brightness independently and providing finer control, this process delivers vibrant colors and natural skin tones.Note: The default setting for the 3D Color Management System is OFF. Technologies for Enhancing Resolution and Sharpness Better Vertical Resolution ? Active I/P Conversion The Active I/P (Interlace/Progressive) Conversion system detects slow movements more precisely by increasing the range for detecting moving-picture and still-picture pixels. This reduces I/P conversion noise that often occurs when reproducing tiny movements, thereby producing crisper images while raising the vertical resolution in interlaced images. Functions that Improve Usability Two Different Images on One Screen - Dual Picture Mode You can simultaneously display images from any two different kinds of AV sources connected. Or, adding one of the optional terminal boards lets you display images from two of the same type of image source, such as two PCs or two DVD players. This function allows you to take full advantage of the plasma display's large screen. Picture-And-Picture mode splits the screen in half and shows different pictures on each half. Picture-Out-Picture mode displays a small picture on the right side of the screen. Picture-In-Picture mode superimposes a small sub-screen picture over a full-screen picture. Up to 4x Enlargement of Image Zones - Digital Zoom This function lets you enlarge a portion of an image by up to four times normal size and display it on the full screen. Use this function to give your presentations greater impact. * Digital Zoom does not work in Dual Picture mode. Images of SXGA resolution or higher from a PC or RGB source may not enlarge correctly. Some degradation occurs when images are enlarged. Huge Display Equivalent to 260-inches - Multi-Screen Applications The built-in image-enlarging function makes it easier to set up multiscreen displays featuring four (2 x 2), nine (3 x 3), or sixteen (4 x 4) units. For example, with sixteen 65-inch displays you can configure a huge display equivalent to 260 inches by simply connecting ordinary cables. That's the kind of display that catches eyes at shopping malls and event sites. This function works with component video signals, so you can use enlarged images from DVD and other high-quality sources in your display. * The image-enlarging function operates on video signal and on PC/RGB signal up to XGA mode. However, a normal display may not be obtained with some PC/RGB signals. Note: The ambient temperature varies depending on the installation location. Provide sufficient air conditioning for surrounding conditions. Enhanced Screen Saver Functions. A variety of screen saver functions help minimize the risk of uneven phosphor aging. You can also use the timer to set the screen saver operating cycles, operating time, and start and stop times. This lets you make settings that match your application. White Bar Scroll: White bars move across the screen from left to right at regular intervals. Good for ordinary still-image displays. Screen Reversal: Displays images with the black and white reversed. Good for text displays. Side Panel Adjustment: Brightens the black bands on the sides of the screen when displaying images in the 4:3 format.obbling: Shifts the image's position by several pixels at fixed time intervals. Peak Limit Mode: Lowers the peak brightness level (image contrast) by 30%. Energy-Saving Functions A broad range of environment-friendly functions help minimize energy consumption. DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling): Power is automatically turned on or off in response to a sync signal from the PC connected to the built-in PC input terminal. Auto Power Off:  When you're using a device connected to the multi-function slots, the display panel goes into standby mode after about 10 minutes if no sync signal is received. Power Save Mode:  Reduces the display's brightness. Standby Power Save Mode:  Reduces power consumption when on standby. (Start-up may take a few moments once the display is in this mode.) Front Button Control The five buttons on the front bezel give you instant access to all major functions via an easy-to-read on-screen menu display. Fan-Less Quiet Operation Our "silence engineering" has eliminated the need for a fan ? and fan noise ? giving you the kind of quiet operation that makes for a more pleasant viewing experience. (TH-65PHD7 and TH-50PHD7 feature a noise-suppressing silence design.) Vertical Mounting Panasonic plasma display can be positioned vertically to display portrait images and can serve as an effective storefront electronic signboard. ? Optional Fan Kit for Vertical Multi-Function Slots Accommodate a Host of Uses In addition to the fixed input interface, the Panasonic plasma display has three (or two) interchangeable slots that let you add different combinations of optional terminal boards. This gives you the flexibility to add digital or analog capabilities, as necessary, and to customize your system for specific needs. Multi-Function Slots on 65?, 50? and 42? Models:  These models come equipped with the standard terminal boardsmounted in slots 2 and 3. You can mount an optional terminal board in slot 1. Or, you can remove the standard terminal boards and mount up to three optional boards. Multi-Function Slots on the 37? Model:  These models come with the standard terminal boards mounted in slots 1 and 2. You can remove the standard boards and mount one or two optional boards.
