TH-65PF20 - 65" 16:9 1920 x 1080, 5000000:1, 55000g, Black NeoPDP Technology Increases Luminous Efficiency by About 4x for Greater Image Quality

- Plasma displays illuminate their pixels with the following three steps;
- An electric discharge is used to generate ultraviolet rays;
- The ultraviolet rays illuminate phosphors;
- The light from the phosphors is emitted from the panel;
- The NeoPDP technology further improves the efficiency of all of these steps to achieve about four times1 the luminous efficiency of our 2007 models. This results in better image quality and saves more power.

Native Contrast of 5,000,000:1
To take maximum advantage of the inherently superior black expression of self-illuminating plasma displays, the newly developed panel allows the PF20 Series to emit light without the use of a pre-discharge. Its high contrast teams up with deeper black reproduction — which forms the basis of image expression — to render rich textures in images with subtle shading and colour differences.

Rich, Expressive Gradation of 6,144 Equivalent Steps
Panasonic plasma displays achieve rich shading with an incredibly accurate 6,144 equivalent steps of gradation in all scenes. These displays deliver richer gradation from brilliant whites to robust blacks, and faithfully reproduce the textural quality of the original video source.

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.

Moving Picture Resolution of 1,080 Lines1 for Sharp and Clear Display of Fast-Moving Action
The superb moving picture resolution of the plasma display panel ensures that even fast-moving action is displayed clearly with full detail and with minimum afterimages. Panasonic Professional Plasma Displays deliver beautiful, high-resolution images from 1080p Full HD sources.

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 Life of up to 100,000 Hours1
The Panasonic plasma display panel offers a long life of approximately 100,000 hours*1, under normal operating conditions — providing gorgeous HD images for many years.

Long Life for Vertical Installations Too
Panasonic plasma displays can also be set up in a vertical format, allowing for more efficient use of limited space configurations. 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.

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.

New "Slot 2.0" Function Slot Expands Display Applications

Versatile Video Inputs with Multiple Digital, Analogue Connections
The PF20 and PH20 Series are equipped with full range of video input terminals, so you can input both analogue (Component Video, Video, PC) and digital (DVI-D, HDMI) video signals to the display.
These standard-equipped terminals handle most of the commonly used video signals.

New “Slot 2.0” Function Slot
The new "Slot 2.0" function slot lets you add display functions to match the intended use. Mounting an optional function board allows the display to support a variety of applications.

PJLink1 — Compatible Network Function for Remote Control
This network function lets you operate displays by remote control and monitor their status through a LAN connection. Since it supports the "PJLink™*1 Class 1" industry standard, existing infrastructure can be used for effective plasma display operation. You can also control the display*2 from a web browser, making it even easier to use.
The network function also uses the same protocol as Panasonic projectors, so other video devices can be combined to upgrade the system.

Portrait Zoom Function Enlarges Horizontal Images for Vertical Display
By dividing horizontal content into three vertical segments, the Portrait Zoom function can dynamically display selected segments. Then, by grouping three 103-inch or 85-inch plasma displays together in portrait mode, a dynamic multi-screen system can be configured to display life-size people with almost the same field of view as the original content.

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.

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.

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.

Dual Picture Mode
You can simultaneously display images from any two different AV sources connected. And you can select the audio output from either source. Playing back the audio from the sub-source can be useful in teleconferencing.

Advanced Dual Picture Mode
This mode lets you overlay a video image onto a full-screen PC image. You are now able to combine a video clip with any text information from a PC, giving you a more effective way to present important messaging.

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.

Blend Dual Picture Function
The Blend Dual Picture function overlays text information produced with a PC onto base motion images. This function makes it easy to produce subtitles without requiring expensive editing equipment. And because the text data is displayed in full-HD image quality, corporate or brand images can be effectively presented in high resolution.

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.

Remote System Monitoring
Panasonic pro 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.

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.

Monitor Mode
This mode displays images without changing the brightness within the same signal level range, even if the average picture level (APL) of the screen varies. Since this mode maintains white balance regardless of the size of bright areas in the image, it is suitable for use in broadcast stations and image production studios in which precise colour reproduction is required.

- Studio W/B Mode;
- Lets you set the color temperature that best matches applications in broadcast stations and studios;
- 1:1 Pixel Mode;
- The 1:1 Pixel mode maps the 1920 x 1080 video content to Full 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;
- Compatible signal format: 1,125/50i, 60i, 24sF, 24p, 25p, 30p, 50p, 60p, 1,250/50i;
- Display Size Setting;
- Displays video signals so that the top, bottom, right and left screen edges that are usually cut off become visible;
- Studio Gain Mode;
- Increases the contrast to eliminate whiteout.
