Panasonic BT300 Full HD Plasma Professional Reference Monitor -First Look

Panasonic BT300 Series Full HD Plasma Professional Reference Monitor

It’s been almost 6 years in the making, but Panasonic has finally come out with a Pro-reference-grade plasma monitor. First announced at the 2011 HPA Technology Retreat and shown publicly at NAB 2011, the TH-42BT300U and the TH-50BT300U are the industrial monitors that doubles as a reference display for post-production and a host of critical imaging applications.




The BT300 Series plasma reference monitors offer the optimum monitoring solution for 2D and 3D production and post-production, as well as content creation for gaming, graphic design and more. Available in 42- and 50-inch sizes, the plasmas allow facilities to upgrade their service offerings by providing seamless color correction capabilities available immediately upon content acquisition from either 2D or 3D cameras. The BT300 Series marks the introduction of a single reference monitor that fully satisfies both 2D and 3D post-production demands
