Advanced 3D colour management
The Colour Management System achieves precise control based on 3D management in the colour difference plane and brightness directions. This finer level of control produces more expressive images.
Advanced dual picture mode
Panasonic plasma displays feature Advanced Dual Picture mode in addition to conventional Dual Picture mode. This mode lets you overlay a video image onto a full-screen PC image. For example, you can superimpose text information from a PC over a video clip, giving you an effective way to present information. When displaying two separate images, you can select the audio output from either source. For example, playing back the audio from the sub-source can be useful in teleconferencing.
Note: Dual Picture Mode cannot handle the following combinations of two analog signals: Component - Component, Component - PC (RGB), PC (RGB) - Component, PC (RGB) – PC (RGB). The Advanced Dual Picture Mode may not work properly with some video signals.
Automatic picture positioning (PF series only)
This 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.
Multi-display function
This built-in image-enlarging function makes it easier to set up multi-screen systems with as many as 25 displays (5 x 5 configurations).
A new function lets you enlarge the image up to 5x vertically and horizontally independently, making it easy to set up a multi-screen system with up to five displays arranged either vertically or horizontally. For example, expand the image horizontally to 5x and leave it unchanged vertically, and you can create a system with five units side-by-side.
Note: Images of SXGA resolution or higher from a PC or RGB source may not enlarge correctly. This multi-display function enlarges the image up to 4x vertically and horizontally on the PH Series plasmas.
There is also a mode that displays a full-screen image, including the edges (the width of the frame) of the display panel. This is especially suitable for displaying text information, since no words are hidden by the frame.
Advanced plasma display panel
By using improved panel materials and enhanced rib and electrode shapes we have boosted the efficiency of our plasma display panels. We've also attained a stable, high-speed discharge to cope with the light intensity in the finely-controlled discharge. These features combine to increase screen brightness by 20%* compared with previous models
* For high definition models and 5% for standard definition models.
Contrast management system
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.
Motion pattern noise reduction
The Motion Pattern Noise Reduction circuit detects motion patterns that tend to generate noise, and makes adjustments to maximize image quality. It helps produce clean, sharp images with outstanding gradation, even in scenes with considerable motion. The result is a noticeable improvement in moving picture quality.
Multi AI control function (PF series only)
By applying AI control to the entire input signal, using the same video processing as if it were a single-screen image, will help achieve uniform brightness over the entire image.
New deep black filter
The New Deep Black Filter suppresses light transmittance and slashes the amount of external light reflected. This technology helps these displays achieve the industry's* highest contrast ratio of 400:1 when viewed in bright surroundings. Reflection is minimal, so images are clean and distraction-free.
* As of April 1, 2006
New real black creation
Panasonic's original New Real Black Creation technology helps achieve the industry's highest level of contrast at a maximum of 10,000:1* in dark image areas to reproduce exceptionally deep, rich blacks.
* 5000:1 contrast for 103-inch model.
Portrait zoom function (PF series only)
By dividing the content from a video source into 3 vertical segments and displaying 1 segment on a vertical-position plasma display, a desired section of an image can be displayed dynamically. When 3 plasma display units are combined in vertical orientation, the entire image can be displayed dynamically on an extra-large screen.
Real gamma control
Instead of using first-stage, basic processing like other brands, Panasonic plasma displays use maximum 16-bit processing, the highest level in the industry, to process video signals all the way up to the gamma correction stage. While other brands use the number of signal bits for calculation, Real Gamma Control reproduces the actual image that appears on the screen at the world's highest level of 3,072 equivalent steps of gradation.
Remote system monitoring
In addition to conventional display control and power supply/input selection check command, Panasonic plasma displays feature a monitor command that lets you check the signal from a distant location. In conventional systems, you had to install a monitoring camera to check the images displayed on an advertising display panel or digital signage system. This monitor command, on the other hand, lets you monitor images by simply connecting a PC via a serial cable.
Weekly command timer
This function makes it easy to automate display operation so there's no need to use an external scheduler. You can set a variety of operations such as power on/off, image source selection, screen saver functions and more and they can be set to activate at specific times on specific days of the week.
Sub-pixel controller
The Sub-Pixel Controller eliminates jagged or blurred diagonal lines and produces smoother edges. Unlike conventional systems in which the three RGB colours are processed together, this advanced system processes each colour separately for crisper, more natural-looking images. Theoretically, this results in a 30% improvement in horizontal resolution compared with conventional systems.
Other features
Energy-saving functions
A broad range of environment-friendly functions help minimize energy consumption.
DPMS (Display Power Management Signalling)
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 one of the multi-function slots, the display panel goes into stand-by mode after approximately 10 minutes if no sync signal is received.
Power save mode
Reduces the display's brightness.
Stand-by power save mode
Reduces power consumption when on stand-by. (Start-up may take a few moments once the display is in this mode.)
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/stop times. You can customize it to suit your needs/match your application.
White bar scroll: White bars move across the screen from left to right at regular intervals (still-image displays).
Screen reversal: Displays images with the black and white reversed (text displays).
Side panel adjustment: Brightens the black bands on the sides of the screen when displaying images in 4:3 format.
Wobbling: Shifts the image's position by several pixels at fixed time intervals.
Peak limit mode: Lowers the peak brightness level (image contrast) by 30%.
Long service life: 100,000 hours
With Panasonic plasmas, the beauty lasts and lasts — thanks to a service life of about 100,000 hours.* That's an amazing 42 years of normal viewing (6.5 hours per day) or 11.5 years of continuous use (24 hours per day). Furthermore, the plasma display screen is covered by a glass panel for enhanced protection against impact and scratches.
* The time until panel brightness is reduced to half its initial level, when displaying moving images in standard mode. Excludes afterimages and malfunctions. PH series offers a service life of about 60,000 hours.
Sound menu
The Sound Menu gives you a choice of three sound settings (Standard/Dynamic/Clear) to best match the kind of input source.
Vertical mounting
Panasonic professional plasma displays can be positioned vertically to display portrait images, allowing them to serve as effective storefront signboards. There's no need to install an optional fan kit.
Note: When using the display vertically, position it so the power button is on top. The TH-50PF9UK or TH-37PH10UK cannot be positioned vertically.
Wireless presentation board (option)
No more complicated wiring
Simply install Wireless Manager software to set up your wireless network. There is 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
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.
* Sound is produced only when using a single, full-screen display of a single PC image.
