3000 ANSI XGA Projector [Model No: PT-LB78V]
Elegant Styling, All-Round Versatility
Panasonic’s new LCD projectors—
PT-LB78NTE and PT-LB78V— are ideal for
anyone who wants an easy-to-use projector
but doesn’t want to compromise on
image quality and performance. The highly
advanced dust-resistant design minimizes
image degradation by reducing the entry
of dust into the unit. The design includes “gapless” touch-sensor controls on the
top panel and an airtight structure that
concentrates the air intake into a single
location. Panasonic’s original Daylight
View 4 feature provides bright, crisp
images even in brightly lit conditions.
The PT-LB78NTE also include an easy-touse
wireless function. In short, the
PT-LB78NTE and PT-LB78V incorporate
the unique essence and versatility of
Panasonic projector technologies while
maintaining an elegant design.
Dust-Resistant Design and Full-Featured Performance

Dust-Resistant Structure Minimizes
Image Degradation
After a projector has been used for some time,
dust particles that have entered the interior
accumulate on the optical components and
lower performance. The PT-LB78V
prevents this with a unique dust-resistant
design. This totally redesigned package has
touch-sensor controls that eliminate the gaps
around conventional buttons and a lens cover.
The design also incorporates a cover that protects
the zoom/focus |
 |
ring when not in use.
These features combine to help reduce dust
entry. Inside the projector, the airflow is efficiently
controlled by a structure that reduces
contact between external air and the optical
components. This all works together with the
high-performance Micro Cut Filter to minimize
image degradation. |
Daylight View 4 Offers Clear, Crisp
Images Even in Bright Surroundings* 2
The PT-LB78V features Panasonic’s
Daylight View 4 technology. Sharp edges are
achieved with the new “Edge Enhancer Control”
and “Gamma Curve Control.” Remarkable
detail is provided and perceived brightness and
contrast are enhanced, so images appear
crisp, vivid, 3-dimensional and easy to see
even in brightly lit rooms. Daylight View 4 also
includes a built-in ambient light sensor that
automatically detects room brightness and
adjusts operation accordingly.
Elegant, Compact Design
The PT-LB78V has a sleek and elegant
appearance that matches its high-performance
capabilities. The projector blends well
with virtually any room interior, whether it is
placed on a desktop or mounted on the ceiling.
At 2.96 kg, its light weight and compact
design also make it easy to move around.
Quiet Operation
The PT-LB78V’s operating noise is
reduced to 29 dB,* 4 which minimizes noise
interruptions during meetings or lectures.
Quick Operation
• Three-Second Speed Start: With Speed
Start, the image appears in about three seconds
after you press the power button. • Auto Search: When a source is connected
and you switch the unit on, it automatically
detects what kind of source is connected and
begins projection.
• Real-Time Keystone Correction: The projector
automatically senses if you adjust its
angle (vertical direction) during operation and
instantly makes whatever keystone correction
is necessary for optimum viewing.
• Direct Power Off: Because the cooling fan
keeps operating until the lamp is cooled, you
can disconnect the power cable and move the
projector as soon as your presentation is finished,
or turn off the room's main power when
the unit is mounted on the ceiling.
Ceiling-Installation Capability
The projector can be permanently installed on
the ceiling by using the optional
ceiling mount bracket.

Abundant Connection Terminals
Designed for versatility, each projector comes
equipped with a host of connection terminals.
The RS-232C specifications are the same as
in previous Panasonic models, so replacement
is quick and easy.
Easy Lamp Replacement from the Rear
For easier maintenance, you can replace the
lamp from the rear. The lamp is easily
replaced even after the projector is installed on
the ceiling. |
 |
 |
Easy-to-Use Remote Control
The control range and distance have been
extended compared to previous models, and
the buttons are now larger and easier to use. |
