The Panasonic PT-FX400 LCD projector with 4,000 lumens and XGA resolution boasts high performance with minimal maintenance and low total cost of ownership. Packed with advanced Panasonic technologies, and ecology-conscious features, it delivers long-lasting brightness and excellent cost savings.
Thanks to its original lamp drive system and more durable lamp unit, optimal lamp performance is maintained for longer-lasting brightness than previous models – resulting in a 6,000-hour lamp replacement cycle. While an Eco Filter keeps the air inside the projector clean for long periods of time, and minimizes brightness degradation. In addition, Panasonic’s unique technology, System Daylight View 2, optimizes image quality to improve the color perception of the projected image in bright rooms, while a Side-by-Side function allows for the simultaneous display of images from two sources onto a single screen.
Digital Clarity Processor
The frequency of the video signal is analyzed for each scene, and distribution data is extracted for the ultra high, high, medium and low-range frequencies.
This unique Panasonic image correction circuit optimally enhances each area of the screen.
High-precision detection is applied from 2-dimensional horizontal/vertical data to produce more natural, lifelike images with high definition.
Daylight View
This function corrects the image quality to project sharp, clear images even in brightly lit rooms. A luminance sensor measures the ambient brightness, and a real-time adjustment function optimizes sharpness and brightness according to the surroundings.
This adjustment function also works together with the Detail Clarity Processor 3 to enhance the realism and vividness of projected images. This makes images easier to view and offers high contrast.
Eco Management
A number of functions are provided to reduce power consumption. They adjust the brightness according to ambient light conditions, and reduce the lamp power when there is no signal input or the projector is in AV Mute mode.
You can easily set the Eco Management functions according to operating conditions by using the ECO button on the remote control.
Standby Eco
The PT FX400 projector has attained a low stand-by power level of 0.3 W (standby mode: ECO).
It also helps to slash running costs, and reduces environmental impact.
6000 Hour Lamp Life
An original lamp drive system and a more durable new lamp unit help maintain optimal lamp performance for longer-lasting brightness than predecessor models.*2 This has resulted in a 6,000-hour lamp replacement cycle.
Dust Resistant Design
Extreme care has been taken in designing the dust-resistant structure inside the PT-FX400 Series cabinet. The lens section, where dust enters, has been protected and separated from the optical block, which is the heart of the projector. Integrated molding of internal cabinet parts has also been increased to further improve sealing performance. The intake and exhaust airflow paths are straight, and the intake airflow path is provided with a new Eco Filter unit to guard the optical components from dust.
This dust-resistant design keeps the air inside the projector clean for long periods of time and minimizes brightness degradation. The Eco Filter’s long replacement cycle of 12,000 hours reduces the hassle of maintenance. And, as an environmental consideration, the filter can be washed with water and reused.
The Eco Filter consists of two Micro Cut Filters (electrostatic filters), a pre-filter and a main filter, which use an ion effect to collect extremely small dust particles. The pre-filter has a honeycomb configuration and the main filter is pleated to achieve a large surface area that raises its dust collecting performance. Thanks to these features, the Eco Filter has a replacement cycle of 12,000 hours.
Inorganic LCD
The PTFX400 projector optical block maintains a high level of performance over time, due to the use of inorganic materials in the LCD panels and polarizers, thus achieving a replacement cycle of 12,000 hours. It also makes them the logical choice for a truly dependable LCD projector system.
