Daylight View 2 Technology

Looks max. 50% brighter

Panasonics Daylight View 2 technology, which helps project sharp, crisp images that are easy to see even in brightly lit rooms. A built-in sensor measures the ambient light, and the halftone colors and brightness level are adjusted accordingly in real-time. Viewing brightness is increased by as much as 50%*1.

Vivid colors in a Bright Room
Panasonic designed and adjusted its projector image display based on use in a well-lit room in developing Daylight View technology. This technology greatly improves color perception in bright rooms. Pale colors are divided into six basic color components (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan and magenta) for more precise control. Daylight View achieves a superb level of image performance that produces less of a difference between PC display images and projected images.

Ambient Light Sensor

The top panel of the unit is equipped with an ambient light sensor (ALS). The ALS detects changes in the ambient light intensity and optimizes color compensation in four steps according to the environment. The Daylight View mode also provides white balance adjustment settings for both fluorescent and incandescent lamps to match the room lighting.

Ecology-Conscious Design

Optional ceiling mount bracket: ET-PKB50
Panasonic works from every angle to minimize environmental impact in the product design, production and delivery processes, and in the performance of the product itself over its life cycle. The PT-LB50 Series reflects the following ecological considerations. Lead-free solder is used to mount components to the printed circuit boards. No halogenated flame retardants are used in the cabinet. No styrofoam is used in the packing materials. Lead-free glass is used for the lens. The packing case and operating manual are made from recycled paper.
Optional replacement lamp unit: ET-LAB50

Rear view

The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use. The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions. The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use. The lamp, LCD panel, polarizing plate, and polarizing beam splitter (PBS) are consumable parts. These parts may need to be replaced during the guarantee period if the projector is used for six or more hours per day. The replacement cycle of the LCD panel, polarizing plate, and polarizing beam splitter (PBS) will be shortened if the projector is subjected to continuous use for six or more hours. Likewise, the replacement cycle of the lamp will be shortened if the power is frequently turned on and off or the projector is subjected to continuous use for 10 or more hours. Interruptions may occur in the wireless connection due to signal interference or PC conditions.
