Panasonic TH-42LF80U User Manual

Ideal for Application that Require Faithful Color Reproduction

High Brightness for Displaying
Easy-to-See Content in Bright Places

Performance with 700 cd/m2 of brightness is
required for some signage and other professional
applications. This allows images to be beautifully
displayed even in large, brightly lit spaces, such as
train stations and airports.

*The LF8 Series has 500 cd/m2 of brightness.

The IPS Panel Has a Wide Viewing Angle
and Minimal Color Fluctuations

There is very little change in color, compared with the
VA panel, when the screen is viewed at right or left
angles, so the images are crisp and clear. This is ideal
for providing correct information to places with a lot of
people present, such as public spaces and facilities.

Effective for drawing attention with
high visibility even in bright places
like shopping malls.

NEW

Easy Display of Images Optimized
for the Display Content and Viewing
Environment

Conventional display panels are preset with
display modes such as Standard and Dynamic.
The LF80/8 Series comes with an extensive
display menu to let you select the most
suitable mode for the content to be displayed
and the viewing environment. You can select
the best mode for the video source and the
place of display.

Featuring industrial durability

stylish appearance.

This stylish design blends in with surrounding
spaces and fills the screen with images.
The 6.3 mm (0.25") bezel width of the LF80/8 Series
is less than half the 16 mm (0.7") bezel width of the
LF60/6 Series. And the slim design makes the
depth only 57mm (2.3"). Since the LF80/8 Series
blends in with almost any surroundings and the
screen is nearly filled with images, this display has
a powerful, eye-catching impact.

Efficiency and Reliability for Continuous 24-hour Operation

The use of highly durable panel materials and quality electronic components
ensures dependable 24-hour operation seven days a week. This makes the
LF80/8 Series ideal for installation in public places, surveillance centers, and
other applications where absolute reliability is critical.

* Display of moving images is recommended when panels are in use for long periods to prevent image
retention. Note that image burn-in can be gradually rectified with the periodical display of moving images.

Choose the Installation to Match Your Application

The LF80/8 series is designed for use in either portrait or horizontal orientation
with no effect on panel color and lifespan, further reducing TCO. A tilt
installation up to 45 degrees forward or backward is also possible. The angle
can be adjusted for easy viewing when installed in a high location.

USB Media Player for Simple
Signage Use Without an STB

NEW

The LF80/8 Series features a USB media player.
Signage operation is possible by simply inputting the
desired content via USB, eliminating the need for a
set-top box. Both videos and still images can be
displayed, so a wide variety of original signage
content can be used.

Standalone Operation Saves Labor

NEW

by Making Content Changes
Over a Network

Multi Monitoring & Control Software makes it
possible to change the content in the USB memory
via LAN after installation. Content can be easily
changed even when the display is installed in a high
place or suspended from the ceiling. This enables
smooth, easy operation.

ET-YFB200G

Low System Costs (LF80 Series only)

Using DIGITAL LINK makes it possible to transmit
video, audio and control signals over a long distance
(up to 150 m

(492 ft)) with a single LAN cable.

Easy cabling also reduces labor during setup. This
provides transmission of high-quality images and
sounds, as well as remote control.

*1 When connected with the [Long reach] mode, the maximum transmission
distance is 150 m (492 ft). In this case, the unit can receive the signals of up
to 1080/60p. A CAT5e (STP) cable or higher is required.

Failover and Failback Safeguards

NEW

for Mission Critical Situations

The LF80/8 Series is equipped with a variety of signal
input terminals. If the main video and audio signals are
interrupted, the system immediately switches to
alternative signals. This makes it ideal for mission critical
control rooms and surveillance centers. If the main
signals are restored, the original image is displayed.

* The usable combinations of main and backup signals are limited.
For details, see the LF80/8 product website.

Multi Monitoring & Control Software

NEW

(Free) Lets You Control Devices
in Groups

This free Panasonic software enables you to monitor and
control up to 2048 devices over a LAN network from a
single PC. As a monitoring function, the status of multiple
devices can be listed in groups, and then detailed
information on each device can be separately displayed. As
a control function, control commands such as power
ON/OFF, input switching and command inputs can be
executed, and a schedule function can be used.

Cloning Function Saves Labor

NEW

When Setting Up Multiple Devices

You can easily copy the setting data of a master display
to other displays using USB memory. This saves labor
when making screen settings during the installation of
multiple devices.

* If the inch sizes/series (LF8, LF80) for the displays differ, the cloning
function does not operate. Use common inch sizes/series.

Compatible with "Early Warning Software"
for Sensing Display Problems in Advance

The LF80 and LF8 Series support Early Warning Software
(optional: ET-SWA100), which monitors the status of devices
(projectors or flat-panel displays) connected to an intranet,
reports device failures, and gives advance warnings by
detecting predicted abnormalities, after installation to the PC
has been completed. The status of displays in an intranet is
observed, and problems are forecast, the occurrence of other
problems is sensed, and notification is sent to the user.

* The use of this software will not detect malfunctions in all devices and
equipment in advance.
