Panasonic has added the new TH-42PH30W and TH-50PH30W high definition plasma panels to its range of plasma panels designed for digital signage displays in corporate, retail and hospitality environments.
Both the models feature a native contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1 that allows delivery of images with better depth, realism and crispness. They have a life span of around 100,000 hours. These plasma panels have an average power consumption of around 150 W. When compared with the PH20 Series of plasma panels, these models consume 35% lesser power. These panels also feature display power management signaling, auto power off function, power save mode and standby power save mode for minimizing power consumption.
The TH-42PH30W and TH-50PH30W plasma panels feature 18-bit digital signal processing that reduces blocked shadows and suppresses noise. They provide expressive and rich gradation. Even when the panels are viewed from an angle they provide sharp and vivid color images due to their self-illuminating pixels. The panels deliver flawless details of the images due to digital color reality technology. The color range exceeds the ITU-R, BT.709 HDTV standard range.
The new panels feature a multi-display function that allows five times vertical and horizontal enlargement of the images, as well as 4x digital zoom for enlarging portions of the images.
The plasma display’s front panel is made of hard glass to resist damage. Multiple panels can be networked from a central source. Multiple panels can be placed in close proximity for multi-screen systems and a display ID control prevents errors that occur due to remote control of individual panels.
