Panasonic Plasma Technology

True 1080p High-Definition
The new 1080p HD plasma models from Panasonic feature about 2 million pixels (1920 horizontal x 1080 vertical)—about twice as many as our conventional HD models. Images are uniformly clear, sharp and super-detailed across the entire screen surface. With our industry-leading 103-inch panel—about four times the size of a 50-inch panel—the viewing impact is nothing less than spectacular.

Reproducing the Entire HDTV Color Range
HD sources are based on the HDTV standard rather than the conventional NTSC standard. In our new 1080p HD models, the panel phosphor characteristics closely match the HDTV-standard color gamut. This lets our plasmas reproduce the entire color range specified in the HDTV standard (ITU-R. BT709), so images are natural-looking and faithful to the original HD source.

4,096 Shades of Gray: Tops in the Industry
Thanks to Panasonic's advanced 16-bit digital image processing, our new plasma models reproduce crisp, clear motion picture images with the equivalent of 4,096 gradation steps. This industry-leading gradation level not only creates richer, deeper blacks, it also enhances image depth, conveys fine detail, and recreates ambience with the kind of accuracy only a 1080p HD plasma display can offer.

Superior Moving Image Resolution
To deliver the full beauty of HD images, the display needs to render moving images in clear detail. Plasma display panels use a self-illuminating system to boost resolution in images with fast motion. Panasonic brings out all the beauty inherent in 1080p HD, reproducing crisp, sharp images that move smoothly even when viewed on the 103- inch screen.

Digital Color Reality for Movie Ambience
In Super Cinema mode, Digital Color Reality boosts precision in the digital control of color and brightness video data by a factor of four (white chromaticity fluctuation of less than 0.003). By continuously adjusting the white balance and performing gamma correction as scenes change, this technology accurately expresses the warmth of light, and reproduces delicate shading. With movie scenes especially, the new plasma displays create the kind of faithful ambience that were difficult for previous systems to deliver.

Deep, Crisp Blacks and the Industry's Highest Contrast
Our New Real Black Creation technology achieves up to 5000:1 contrast—tops in the industry. This combines with our New Deep Black Filter and New AR Coating technologies, which help maintain crisp blacks even in bright image surroundings, to give images superb depth and textural quality.

Real Gamma Control
Instead of using first-stage, basic processing like other brands, Panasonic plasma displays use maximum 16-bit processing, the highest level in the industry, to process video signals all the way up to the gamma correction stage. While other brands use the number of signal bits for calculation, Real Gamma Control reproduces the actual image that appears on the screen at the world's highest level of 4,096 equivalent steps of gradation.

Advanced Plasma Display Panel
Use of improved panel materials and enhanced rib and electrode shapes have boosted the efficiency of our plasma display panels. We've also attained a stable, high-speed discharge to cope with the light intensity in the finely-controlled discharge, These features combine to increase screen brightness by 20% compared with previous models.

New Deep Black Filter
The New Deep Black Filter suppresses light transmittance and slashes the amount of external light reflected. This technology helps these displays achieve the industry's highest contrast ratio of 400:1 when viewed in bright surroundings. Reflection is minimal, so images are clean and distraction-free.

Contrast Management System
Original Panasonic technology optimizes the contrast by matching it to the images in each scene. Instead of losing gradation by making part of the image too bright or too dark, this new technology applies just the right amount of contrast correction for each part of the scene. The result brings natural beauty to all parts of the scene.

Advanced 3D Color Management
The Color Management System achieves precise control based on 3D management in the color difference plane and brightness directions. This finer level of control produces more expressive images.

Smooth Diagonal Lines and Sharp Images: Sub Pixel Controller
The Sub-Pixel Controller eliminates jagged or blurred diagonal lines and produces smoother edges. Unlike conventional systems in which the three RGB colors are processed together, this advanced system processes each color separately for crisper, more natural-looking images. Theoretically, this results in a 30% improvement in horizontal resolution compared with conventional systems.

Smooth Fast-Motion Scenes: Motion Pattern Noise Reduction
The Motion Pattern Noise Reduction circuit detects motion patterns that tend to generate noise, and makes adjustments to maximize image quality. It helps produce clean, sharp images with outstanding gradation, even in scenes with considerable motion. The result is a noticeable improvement in moving picture quality.

Convenience Features

Advanced Image-Enlarging Functions
This built-in image-enlarging function makes it easier to set up multi-screen systems with as many as 16 displays (4x4 configuration). A new function lets you enlarge the image up to 4x vertically and horizontally independently, making it easy to set up a multi-screen system with up to four displays arranged either vertically or horizontally. For example, expand the image horizontally to 4x and leave it unchanged vertically, and you can create a system with four units side-by-side. This is ideal in bank lobbies, airports and other places where you want a large display system that can be read from a distance. 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. This is especially suitable for displaying text information, since no words are hidden by the frame.

Ultra-Lightweight Cabinet
Panasonic's advanced PDP production technology made it possible to reduce the plasma panel glass thickness from 2.8mm to 1.8mm. This reduces overall weight by up to 15% compared with previous models, making installation easier than ever. Using less glass benefits the environment, too.

See 100% of 1080p: 1:1 Pixel Mode
The 1:1 Pixel mode maps the 1920 x 1080 video content to 1080p HD panel pixels to display 100% of the original content. By skipping the scaling process, this mode is able to produce high-definition images in their original, 1:1 pixel form. When the 1:1 Pixel mode is switched off, the picture source is scaled for over-scanning and 97% of the original is displayed.

Advanced Dual Picture Mode
Panasonic plasma displays feature the Advanced Dual Picture Mode in addition to the conventional Dual Picture Mode. This 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. Playing back the audio from the sub-source can be useful in teleconferencing, for example.

60,000 Hour Service Life
The inner panel improvements give Panasonic plasma panels a long service life of approximately 60,000 hours* even with their increased brightness.

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

Vertical Mounting
Panasonic professional plasma displays can be positioned vertically to display portrait images, allowing them to serve as effective storefront signboards. There's no need to install an optional fan kit.

Automatic Picture Positioning
This function automatically corrects the horizontal and vertical picture positions, clock phase, and dot clock when an analog RGB signal is input. The adjustment results in optimal standard values for the horizontal and vertical picture sizes.

Enhanced Screen Saver Functions
A variety of screen saver functions help lower the risk of uneven phosphor aging to the same level as CRT displays. 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 or according to the detected screen condition.

Peak Limit Mode: Lowers the peak brightness level (image contrast) by 30%.

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.

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

Super Quiet Operation
Panasonic's "silence engineering" has eliminated the need for a fan on PS series and dramatically suppressed the fan noise on PF/PH series, to give you the kind of quiet operation that makes for a more pleasant viewing experience.

Terminals and Connections

Optional Terminal Boards expand your input capabilities for any application. The TH-65PF9UK ships standard with one free expansion slot, or remove the standard terminals (15-pin dSub VGA, DVDI-D, BNC Component) to use all 3 expansion slots.
