3,072 Equivalent Steps of Gradation for Finely Nuanced Images

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 3,072 equivalent steps of gradation.
Conventional Real Gamma Control
Note: These features are found on the PH9/PS9 models only.

Advanced Usability

Powerful Multi-Screen Display Systems
Advanced Image-Enlarging Function
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.

Superior Expressive Detail
Contrast Management System
Original Panasonic technology optimises 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.

Smooth Diagonal Lines and Sharp, Clear 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 colours are processed together, this advanced system processes each colour separately for crisper, more natural-looking images. Theoretically, this results in a 30% improvement in horizontal resolution compared with conventional systems.
Panasonic's advanced PDP production technology made it possible to reduce the plasma panel glass thickness from 2.8 mm to 1.8 mm. This reduces overall weight by up to 15%*3 Weight Comparison New Conventional Reduction compared with previous models, making 50" HD 37.0 kg 43.0 kg 14% installation easier than ever.

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.
Enhanced Screen Saver Functions
A variety of screen saver functions help minimize the risk of uneven phosphor aging. 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. (Start-up may take a few moments once the display is in this mode.)

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.

Troubleshooting

Before you call for service, determine the symptoms and make a few simple checks as shown below. Symptoms Picture Interference Sound Noisy Sound Checks Electrical Appliances Cars / Motorcycles Fluorescent light Volume (Check whether the mute function has been activated on the remote control.) Not plugged into AC outlet Not switched on Picture and Brightness/Volume setting (Check by pressing the power switch or stand-by button on the remote control.) If a signal with a non-applicable colour system format, or frequency is input, only the input terminal indication is displayed. Colour controls set at minimum level (see page 22, 23) Colour system (see page 39) Check whether the batteries have discharged completely and, if they have not, whether they were inserted properly. Check whether the remote control sensor is exposed to an outdoor light or a strong uorescent light. Check whether the remote control designed specically for use with the unit is being used. (The unit cannot be operated by any other remote control.) If there is nothing wrong with the picture or sound, this is the sound of the cabinet undergoing very slight contractions in response to changes in the room temperature. There are no adverse effects on the performance or other aspects. Adjust the position of the picture on the screen.

No remote control operations can be performed.
A cracking sound is sometimes heard from the unit.
The top or bottom of the picture on the screen is cut off when I use the zoom function. Areas at the top and bottom of the screen where the image is missing appear when I use the zoom function. I can hear sounds coming from inside the unit.
When using a video software program (such as a cinema size program) with a screen wider than one in the 16:9 mode, blank areas separate from the images are formed at the top and bottom of the screen. When the power is turned on, a sound of the display panel being driven may be heard: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning. This Plasma Display uses special image processing. Hence a slight time lag may occur between image and audio, depending on the type of input signal. However, this is not a malfunction.

Plasma Display panel

Symptoms The screen darkens slightly when bright pictures with minimal movements are shown. It takes a while for the picture to appear. Check The screen will darken slightly when photos, still images of a computer or other pictures with minimal movements are shown for an extended period. This is done to reduce image retention on the screen and the shortening of the screens service life: It is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning. The unit digitally processes the various signals in order to reproduce esthetically pleasing images. As such, it sometimes takes a few moments for the picture to appear when the power has been turned on, when the input has been switched or when the images for the main picture and sub picture on the two screens are swapped. Due to the characteristics of the system used to drive the panel, the edges may appear to icker in the fast-moving parts of the images: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning. When viewing the side panels at the High or Mid setting, the brightness on both sides may change depending on the kind of program shown: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning. The plasma display panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a malfunction. Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent image retention to remain on the Plasma Display. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode. Note: The permanent image retention on the Plasma Display resulting from xed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty. This product is not designed to display xed images for extended periods of time. The display unit is tted with a cooling fan to dissipate heat generated during normal use. The whirring sound is caused by rotation of the fan and is not a malfunction.
The edges of the images icker. The brightness on both sides of images in the 4:3 mode changes. Some parts of the screen do not light up.
Image retention appears [for TH-42PH10MK/S, TH-50PH10MK/S, TH-42PH10AK/S, TH-50PH10AK/S, TH-58PH10WK] Whirring sounds can be heard from the display unit.
