High-definition wide LCD panel for
sharp, detailed images
The secret behind the incredibly sharp, detailed
picture of the PT-L500U is a high-definition
(1,280 x 720 pixels) wide LCD panel. Its threelayer (RGB) structure realizes an effective total of
approximately 2.76 million pixels. That translates
into a beautiful picture with stunning detail and
exceptional fidelity when reproducing high-quality
video source material such as high-definition digital terrestrial or satellite broadcasts. A new optical
system developed specifically for the high-definition LCD panels delivers 850 lumens of brightness and realizes a contrast ratio of up to
1,300:1, ensuring that the PT-L500U delivers an
incredible level of performance. This high contrast—brilliant images with deep, vivid blacks—
gives the picture a startling realism and impact.
Integrated cinema quality circuitry for
enhanced expressiveness
Full 10-bit digital processing and
10-bit gamma correction
Accurate reproduction of subtle variations in
brightness or hue is realized using full 10-bit digital processing and 10-bit gamma correction,
which quadruples the number of displayable colors to over 1 billion (with 1,024 gradations).
Projector AI
The projector AI system is based on technology
employed in high-end digital projectors used in
movie theaters. It automatically adjusts the lamp
brightness to the optimum level to match the
characteristics of the picture in real time, dramatically increasing the dynamic range, accurately
rendering black portions of the screen as deep,
dark blacks, and achieving a stunningly high contrast ratio of up to 1,300:1.
Dynamic Sharpness Control
The Dynamic Sharpness Control circuit adjusts
the video signal waveforms based on the difference in brightness of adjacent pixels for a sharp,
clear picture that is relatively unaffected by signal
noise.

As a leader in the field of home cinema pro-
jectors, Panasonic has been doing important
work in the imaging field for years. Key
research at the company’s facilities, includ-
ing the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory in
Hollywood, California, has led to break-
throughs that have dramatically improved
picture quality. The new PT-L500U incorpo-
rates Panasonic advances such as a high-
definition wide LCD panel, integrated cinema
quality circuitry, full 10-bit digital process-
ing and gamma correction, and New Smooth
Screen technology to achieve a level of
image fidelity and impact that rivals what
you would see in the movie theater. And a
Hollywood colorist took part in the develop-
ment process to ensure a remarkable level
of color fidelity. Present your company’s
corporate video and enjoy your favorite
movies on the large screen. Experience a
high level of immediacy and excitement
when watching sporting events.
The PT-L500U packs everything you could
want into a compact, sleek high-definition
home cinema projector.
