Because flat panel displays are used in a variety of applications, they must meet a range of requirements. They must offer clear, faithful
images. And they must provide advanced functions, screen sizes large enough for the installation location, and selectable cabinet
colours (in this case, black or silver) to match their surroundings.
Panasonic flat panel displays provide all that and more. Our quest to lead the industry in image quality and innovative functions has led
to a new lineup of eleven models in five sizes and two cabinet colours.
Throughout this new lineup you'll see Panasonic's commitment to providing high-performance flat panel displays that meet the widest
range of professional applications.

The 65-inch plasma display has the powerful presence needed to draw
attention in even a large event area. With its large screen and high
resolution, this unit displays images that look clear and crisp even from a
distance. It's also suitable for lecture halls and amusement facilities.

At business meetings, presentations and other situations calling for powerful
visual impact, you can count on this 50-inch high-definition plasma display.
An optional touch panel adds sophistication and ease. The system can be
upgraded to display handwritten notes for even greater persuasive power.

When set up for portrait display, this 42-inch
plasma display is similar in size and aspect ratio to
a movie-size poster. Use it as a moving image
poster. Or upgrade the system with a scheduling
function that displays content according to the
correct time zone, and use it as a digital signboard.

The 37-inch plasma display fits well in stores. It
can display images from two video sources at the
same time, making it ideal for information display
in stores, show windows and other uses.

The 32-inch LCD display is perfect when space is
at a premium. Function slots let you customise
the unit for a specific application. This panel is
suitable for displaying both text and still images.

Panasonic's business-use flat panel displays lead the industry in image quality and
functions and are available in screen sizes from 32 to 65 inches.

has a video output terminal too, so you can
also connect a sub-monitor device for
monitoring images.

With Digital Equipment

The next-generation standard digital interface,
HDMI terminal board digitally transfers video
and audio signals over a single cable. Connect
a compatible DVD player via an HDMI
terminal, and the plasma display can
reproduce images with the equivalent of 4,096
gradation levels.

With Broadcast Equipment

SDI/HD-SDI terminal boards are compatible
with the SDI or HD-SDI (for HDTV) systems
used in broadcasting studios. Panasonic
displays are compatible with HD-SDI signals.
With these boards, the display can reproduce
crisp, clear images in a studio or control room.

A PC input terminal board lets you connect
multiple PCs. This can be ideal in conference
rooms, classrooms, lecture halls and other
sites where PCs are often used.

Wireless PC Connection

A wireless presentation board lets you display
signals from up to four notebook PCs at the
same time. This makes it easy to get a
presentation or meeting underway quickly,
without the time and trouble of connecting a
number of cables.

Multi-Screen System

The RGB active-through terminal board lets
you daisy-chain a number of panels to create a
multi-screen plasma display system.

Note: TH-32LHD7 series cannot be used in multi-screen

applications.

With triple function slots* and a variety of terminal boards, you have the flexibility to configure a system that's ideally suited to
the content to be displayed. Create a customised system that meets your exact needs. Combined with the superb image

Industry’s Highest Level of Gradation Steps —
Advanced Real Gamma System

*3

Panasonic plasma display series uses ultra-precise, maximum 14-bit
signal processing to produce vividly rich details. The Advanced Real
Gamma System then takes it another step further with full-time, full-pixel
1,536-step gradation and 2,048-step dark-area gradation. This level of
gradation brings intricate details and more faithful colour reproduction to
all scenes, dark and bright.

* The equivalent of 4,096 steps of gradation can be displayed with DVI or HDMI connection.

Industry’s Best*1 Bright-Area Contrast of 340:1

*2

—

Deep Black Filter

*3

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 technology helps these displays
achieve the industry's highest contrast ratio of 340:1*2 when viewed in
bright surroundings.

*1: As of July 1, 2005.
*2: For 42˝ SD model. Measured at 100 lux.

Industry’s Highest Level of Dark-Area Contrast —
New Real Black Drive System

*3

By reducing the pre-discharge emission when reproducing black, the
New Real Black Drive System provides deeper, richer blacks and a
stunning 4000:1 contrast*4. The result is dramatically enhanced image
clarity and realism.

Industry’s Highest Level of Brightness —
Advanced Plasma Panel

*3

Panasonic plasma display panels feature 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, by
optimizing the gas composition ratio, lighting efficiency has been
increased by about 15%. The result is the industry’s highest level of
brightness. You see crisp and clear images even in bright rooms.

Advanced LCD Panel (TH-32LHD7 series)

Boasting an HD panel with 1,366 x 768 pixels, the TH-32LHD7 series LCD
model relays all the detailed beauty of high-definition images. It achieves
excellent brightness of 500 cd/m

2

with high contrast of 800:1. The result is
vibrant, finely nuanced images even in brightly lit rooms. The viewing angle of
170° in both horizontal and vertical directions ensures superior legibility over a
wide area.

Advanced Dual Picture Mode

Panasonic plasma displays feature a new Advanced Dual Picture Mode
in addition to the conventional Dual Picture Mode. This new 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 a more effective way to present information. When displaying
two separate images, you can select the audio output from either
source (previous models reproduced audio from the main source only).
Playing back the audio from the sub-source can be useful in
teleconferencing, for example.

Note: Plasma models cannot display two images when both are from component video

or RGB (PC) signal sources. The Advanced Dual Picture Mode may not work properly
with some video signals and is not available on the TH-32LHD7 series.

Multi-Screen Applications

*3

The built-in image-enlarging function makes it easier to set up a multi­screen display system with four (2 x 2), nine (3 x 3), or 16 (4 x 4) units.
Thanks to the ID control function, you can use the standard remote
control unit to control multiple panels individually. There is also a mode
that displays a full-screen image, including the edges (the width of the
frame) of the display panel — something not possible with previous
systems. This is especially suitable for displaying text information, since
no words are hidden by the frame.

TULIP

Note: The ambient temperature varies depending on the installation location.

Provide sufficient air conditioning for surrounding conditions.

4x 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.

Note: 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.

User-Friendly Remote Control

*3

Redesigned for easier operation, the remote control unit now
features a Power Off button and Direct input select buttons. It
also allows ID control in a multi-screen system.

New Cabinet Design

*3

Panasonic plasma displays (other than 65-inch model) introduce
simple, slim front bezel design. Control buttons and the Power button
are set on the bottom surface. This gives the panels a smooth, clean
look while also helping prevent accidental operation and tampering.

Enhanced Screen Saver Functions

*3

A variety of screen saver functions help minimise 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.

•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%.

Energy-Saving Functions

A broad range of environment-friendly functions help minimise 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.)

Sound Menu

*3

The Sound Menu gives you a choice of three sound settings
(Standard/Dynamic/Clear) to best match the kind of input source.

Fan-Less Quiet Operation

*3

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-65PHD8, 50PHD8 and 42PHD8 series feature a noise-suppressing silence design.)

resistance to static-image screen burning to the same level as CRT displays.

*5: The time until panel brightness is reduced to half its initial level, when displaying moving

images at standard mode. Excludes afterimages and malfunctions.

High-Precision MPD Noise Reduction

*3

This 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 maximise image quality.

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 still­picture 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.

3D Colour Management System

The 3D 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.

Note:The default setting for the 3D Colour

Management System is OFF.

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.

Remote System Monitoring

In addition to the conventional display control command and power
supply/input selection check command, Panasonic flat panel displays
feature a new 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 new monitor command, on the other
hand, lets you monitor images by simply connecting a PC via a serial
cable.

Vertical Mounting

*3

The 65-inch, 50-inch and 42-inch
models can be positioned vertically to
display portrait images, allowing them to
serve as effective storefront signboards.
There's no need to install an optional

Note: When using the display vertically, set it so the

power button is on top. The 37-inch & 32-inch
models cannot be positioned vertically.

In contrast with conventional methods, in which several information
panels are prepared in different languages, this digital system allows
visitors to simply touch the panel itself to switch to the language they
want. It is a highly effective and efficient way to offer people the content
that they want to see.

• Flexible Content Control

Each PC connected to the Plasma has a unique IP address, allowing
content to be streamed to the Plasma on any LAN, modem, Internet or
Satellite network. It speeds up the process of updating information, and
any combination of Plasmas can be controlled locally or from a central
location.

The system displays enlarged XGA images with
excellent quality.

• Various Display Patterns and Powerful Impact

A "control PC" connected through a serial interface
lets you switch the input sources and control various
display patterns.

HD-SDI/SD-SDI System for Broadcast Use

Displays crisp, clear images in a studio or control room.

• Adapts Easily to HD-SDI/SD-SDI Systems

The PDP adapts easily to HD-SDI and SD-SDI, the digital interfaces
used in broadcasting and video production. Simply plug the SDI or HD­SDI terminal board into the function slot.

• Larger Screen with Wider Viewing Angle

Large PDP screens range from 42 to 50 inches — a big advantage
over the maximum 32-inch screen available with conventional HD-CRT
monitor displays for broadcast use. PDP screens also offer a wider
viewing angle and easier, more comfortable monitoring.

• Saves Rack Space

With its thin profile, a PDP takes up less rack space than a CRT
monitor.

• Ideal as a Studio Monitor

When the PDP is used as a studio monitor display, its large screen and
wide viewing angle provide superior viewing for performers and
production crew. The PDP also requires little installation space and is
easy to move. When a 65-inch PDP is used for recording a programme
with a live audience, it helps create a livelier, upbeat atmosphere.

Displaying up-to-date information such as transportation schedule
changes, stock market conditions, and countless other possible
subjects.

• Real-Time Information Bulletins

The use of the CAT5e twisted-pair cable allows content to be sent from
the server in real-time, for instant response to events such as sudden
changes in transportation schedules or accident information as it
becomes available.

• Long-Distance Transmission of High-Quality Video Signals

High-resolution XGA images, sound and RS232C control signal are
transmitted approximately 150 m over a single cable. PDP control
signals can also be sent over the same cable to allow remote operation
of power ON/OFF and other functions.

• Higher Signal Quality, Lower Costs, and Easier Installation

Thin, lightweight CAT5e twisted-pair cables do a better job of
preventing signal degradation than coaxial cables. They also reduce
costs and shorten the time needed for installation.

System Configuration

*The use of twisted-pair-cable receiver allows images to be sent to the

plasma display from an office up to 150 meters away.

*Using the twisted-pair-cable splitter, several plasma displays can be

connected in a cascade configuration.
