1080p HD Displays (Only)
◆ They feature almost 2 million pixels
(1920 x 1080) — about twice as
many as conventional HD models.
Images are uniformly clear, sharp
and super-detailed across the entire
screen surface. Viewing impact is nothing less than spectacular.
◆
Automatic Picture Positioning function automatically corrects the horizontal and vertical picture
positions, clock phase, and dot clock when an analog RGB signal is input. The adjustment
results in optimal standard values for the horizontal and vertical picture sizes
◆ To deliver the full beauty of HD images, they need to render moving images in clear detail. The
1080p panels use a self-illuminating system to boost resolution in images with fast motion.
◆ The HD-SDI terminal board supports max. 10-bit input signals, for greater color reproduction
precision and richer gradation. With outstanding reproducibility across the entire HDTV color
range, the1080p HD panels deliver faithful, natural-looking colors from HD sources. With
full-digital signal processing from input to display, they can be used as HD master monitors.
◆ In Super Cinema mode, Digital Color Reality boosts precision in the digital control of color and
brightness video data by a factor of four. By continuously adjusting the white balance and
performing gamma correction as scenes change, this technology accurately expresses the
warmth of light, and reproduces delicate shading.
◆ The 1:1 Pixel mode maps the 1920 x 1080 video content to 1080p HD panel pixels to display
100% of the original content. By skipping the scaling process, this mode is able to produce
high-definition images in their original, 1:1pixel form. When the 1:1 Pixel mode is switched off,
the picture source is scaled for over-scanning and 97% of the original is displayed.
◆ By dividing the content from a video source into three vertical segments and displaying one
segment on a portrait-position plasma display, a desired section of an image can be displayed
dynamically. When three plasma display units are combined in portrait orientation, the entire
image can be displayed dynamically on an extra-large screen.

◆ Weekly command timer makes it easy to automate display operation so there’s no need to use
an external scheduler. Set a variety of operations — power on/off, image source selection,
screen saver functions and more — to activate at specific times on specific days of the week.
◆ Thanks to Panasonic’s advanced 16-bit
digital image processing, they reproduce
crisp, clear motion picture images with the
equivalent of 3,072 or 4,096 gradation steps.
This industry-leading gradation level not
only creates richer, deeper blacks, it also
enhances image depth, conveys fine detail,
and recreates ambience with the kind of
accuracy only 1080p HD plasma can offer.
◆ New Real Black Creation technology helps
achieve the industry’s highest level of
contrast at a maximum of10,000:1 in dark
image areas to reproduce exceptionally
deep, rich blacks. This system suppresses
unwanted graying by reducing the electrical
pre-discharge to about 30% of the level of
conventional plasma displays.
◆ Panasonic’s use of improved panel materials
and enhanced rib and electrode shapes
have boosted the efficiency of the displays.
They also have a stable, high-speed dis-
charge to cope with the light intensity in the
finely-controlled discharge. These features
combine to increase screen brightness by
up to 20% compared with previous models.
◆ The front protective glass of the display
panels incorporate a Deep Black Filter that
suppresses light transmittance and slashes
the amount of external light reflected. This
allows them to achieve very high contrast
ratio of 400:1when viewed in bright
surroundings. Reflection is minimal, so
images are clean and distraction-free.
◆ Original Panasonic technology optimizes the
contrast by matching it to the images in
each scene. Instead of losing gradation by
making part of the image too bright or too
dark, this new technology applies just the
right amount of contrast correction for each
part of the scene. The result brings natural
beauty to all parts of the scene.
◆ The Sub-Pixel Controller eliminates jagged
or blurred diagonal lines and produces
smoother edges. Unlike conventional
systems in which the three RGB colors are
processed together, this advanced system
processes each color separately for crisper,
more natural-looking images. Theoretically,
this results in a 30% improvement in
horizontal resolution compared with
conventional systems.
◆ For vibrant colors and natural skin tones, an advanced 3D Color Management system works in
a three-dimensional color matrix (hue, saturation, brightness). By correcting hue and brightness
independently and providing finer control, this process delivers more expressive images.
◆ With the optional wireless presentation board and Wireless Manager software installed you
can set up a wireless network. No need for bothersome wiring. You can also connect up to four
PCs to multiple displays for effective, interactive use by groups or for presentations. High-
speed wireless transmission provides smooth display of video clips, animation, and other types
of large-volume data. Audio tracks are sent simultaneously, enabling dynamic presentations
with active images and sounds.
◆ They boast an incredible long service life of 100,000 hours. This means they can provide bright,
beautiful pictures over many years of use. The display screen is also covered by a glass panel
for enhanced protection against impact and scratches. Newly developed phosphor also raises
the displays resistance to static-image screen burning to the same level as CRT displays.
