Please be aware that due to the large size of many products in this cateogry (Commercial Displays) additional freight may be required after completing your order. This covers various aspects of delivery - tailgates, if you do not have a forklift attract an additional charge. Or it can simply be that our freight system for extremely large products does not cope. Where possible we do absorb these additional fees but it varies order to order as well as upon your delivery location.

Higher Luminous Efficiency Greatly Reduces Power Consumption
Energy-Saving Design
The higher luminous efficiency of the plasma display panel lowers the rated power consumption approximately 35% (for the 42-inch model) compared to the previous PH20 Series. The plasma display also lowers power consumption during dark scenes, to achieve an average power consumption*1 of approximately 150 W (for the 42-inch model) during operation.
*1: Based on IEC 62087 Ed.2 measurement method.
*2: Comparing the new model with the 42-inch model in the PH20 series.
Crisp Images with a High Contrast Ratio of 2,000,000:1*1
Original image-processing technologies have enabled a high contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1*1.
This produces robust blacks that give images greater realism and depth.
*1:The dark room contrast ratio of the panel unit that can be displayed simultaneously on the same screen. Measured in Dynamic picture mode using a white signal in a 4% window.
Clear rendering of even fast-moving images.
The plasma display's excellent moving-picture resolution*1 reproduces even fast-moving images clearly and precisely while suppressing afterimages. This results in stunning, high-resolution images.
*1:According to the method for measuring moving-picture resolution to indicate motion-image display performance that was developed by the Advanced PDP Development Centre Corporation (APDC).
Rich, Expressive Gradation with 5,120 Equivalent Steps
Maximum 18-bit digital signal processing renders images with the
equivalent of 5,120 steps of gradation, while suppressing noise and
minimizing blocked shadows.
Approx. 110%*1 of the Color Gamut of the HDTV Standard
High-definition broadcasts are based on the HDTV standard, rather than the conventional NTSC/PAL standard. Panasonic plasma displays reproduce a wide color gamut exceeding the entire color range specified in the HDTV standard (ITU-R, BT.709). This results in a natural and faithful color reproduction on a large screen. Digital Color Reality technology also assures images with immaculate details.
*1: Comparison based on color gamut
Dynamic Images Viewed from Any Angle
Panasonic plasma display panels use self-illuminating pixels to provide more vivid colour and sharper images that never appear faded, even when viewed at an angle. Panasonic plasma displays deliver high-resolution images without losing the quality of the original video source.
Long Panel Life of up to 100,000 hours*1
The Panasonic Professional Plasma Display panel offers a long life of approximately 100,000 hours*1, and provides bright, beautiful pictures over many years of use.
Long Life for Vertical Installations Too
Panasonic plasma displays can also be set up vertically. This allows efficient use of limited spaces, such as vertically oblong areas. The long life of approximately 100,000 hours*1 and superb image quality are completely unaffected by vertical installation. When the portrait mode is selected in the initial display settings, the on-screen display rotates 90-degrees for easy reading. The cooling fan control also changes automatically for portrait mode.
*1: Guideline operating hours before the panel brightness is reduced to half when the panel is used to display motion pictures in the Standard mode. Afterimages (burned-in images) and malfunctions are not taken into consideration.
Tough Body with Impact-Resistant Front Glass Panel
The front of the plasma display is covered by a hard glass panel that provides strong resistance to impact and breakage, thereby providing extra assurance against damage when used in busy public spaces. It virtually eliminates any need for additional protective covering.
Multi-Screen System Dynamically Displays Images in Large Spaces
The Multi-Display function enlarges images up to five times their original size, both vertically and horizontally. It enlarges images by the same zoom ratio in both vertical and horizontal directions, such as 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5, or by different ratios in order to effectively use vertically or horizontally elongated spaces. Plasma display versatility can be further enhanced by freely selecting the zoom ratio to match the installation space.
Some degradation occurs when images are enlarged.
rovide an appropriate air-conditioned environment because the ambient temperature varies depending on the installation condition and location.
Display ID Control
To prevent remote control errors that can occur when multiple displays are installed in close proximity, each display in a multi-screen system must have a unique ID. Assigning a display ID assures reliable remote control operation.
* The optional ID Remote Control Unit (EUR7636070R) is required.
Multi AI Control Function
By applying AI control to the brightness signal of the entire input signal using the same video processing as for a single-screen image, this function achieves a uniform brightness level over the entire image.
Seam Hides Video Off Mode
This mode displays a full-screen image, including edges (the entire width of the frame) of the display panel. This is especially suitable for displaying text information, since no words are hidden by the frame.
4x Digital Zoom
This function lets you enlarge a portion of an image up to four times its normal size and display it on the full screen. This function can help give presentations greater impact.
Digital Zoom does not work in Multi Display or Dual Picture mode.
Some degradation occurs when images are enlarged.
Weekly Command Timer
This function makes it easy to automate display operation so there's no need for an external scheduler. You can 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.
Automatic Picture Positioning
Simply press the Auto Setup key on the remote control to position the picture. This function automatically corrects horizontal and vertical picture positions, clock phase, and dot clock when an analogue RGB signal is selected as input. The adjustment results in optimal standard values for horizontal and vertical picture sizes.
If the dot clock frequency is 162 MHz (for PF Series; 108 MHz for PH Series) or higher, DOT CLOCK and CLOCK PHASE cannot be made.
When digital RGB signal input, DOT CLOCK and CLOCK PHASE cannot be made.
Picture Profiles
The picture adjustment values set using the Picture menu and advanced settings can be stored in the display's memory as profiles. Up to eight combinations can be stored, and the preferred profile can be selected to match the video source being used.
Studio W/B ModeLets you set the color temperature that best matches applications in broadcast stations and studios.
Display Size SettingDisplays video signals so that the top, bottom, right and left screen edges that are usually cut off become visible.
Studio Gain ModeIncreases the contrast to eliminate whiteout.
Audio Input Select
The video and audio input can each be independently selected. This makes it possible to achieve flexible combinations of images and sounds.
Screen Saver Functions
A variety of screen saver functions help lower the risk of uneven phosphor aging. You can also use the timer to set the screen saver operating time.

New Screen Saver NANODRIFT SAVER
The new NANODRIFT SAVER reduces image retention four times*1 more effectively than previous systems. It uses smooth, fine image movement to minimize the possibility of image retention without blocking the view.
*1: Compared to our "wobbling" screen saver.
NANODRIFT is a trademark of Panasonic Corporation.
Extended Life Settings
It's easy to make settings that extend the display life because all items that prevent image retention are grouped into a single menu.
Auto Power Off
This function automatically turns off the display power when the screen saver operation ends.
Energy-Saving Functions
A broad range of environment-friendly functions help minimize 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.)
