Panasonic 21.5” Full HD LCD Production Monitor

The 21.5” Full HD LCD Production Monitor from Panasonic is a high-performance and high-resolution IPS LCD panel made to handle the broad range of image production and broadcast challenges. This product has 1920 x 1080 resolution, 3D Look Up Table (LUT) color correction, 10-bit image processing engine, and wide viewing angles. Some broad varieties of interfaces are also included such as DVI-I inputs and 3G/HD/SD-SDI, Video. On the body, this product is made with aluminum die cast to make the durability last longer.

As to the contrast ratio, 21.5” Full HD LCD Production Monitor has 1000:1 and the brightness is at 250cd/m².

Furthermore, there are the 2D assist features that are the in-monitor display; a Y-Map display to confirm a luminance level map; a Zebra display; and a two-window display, which allows for two separate HD/SDI inputs to be viewed simultaneously for comparing different signals. The two-window display can also be combined with advanced assist display functions, including Y MAP, which allows you to see the image at each luminance level in one window while looking at the standard image in the other window.
