Detail Clarity Processor 3 Brings Depth and
Clarity to Details
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.

This function corrects the image quality to project sharp,
clear images even in brightly lit rooms. A luminance sen-
sor 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 Functions
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.

The PT-FW430 Series 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.

An original lamp drive system and a more durable new
lamp unit help maintain optimal lamp performance for
longer-lasting brightness than predecessor models.*

Dust-Resistant Design and an Eco Filter that
Needs No Replacement for 12,000 Hours
Extreme care has been taken in designing the dust-resis-
tant structure inside the PT-FW430 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 per-
formance. 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 mainte-
nance. And, as an environmental consideration, the filter
can be washed with water and reused.*

Inorganic Materials Maintain
Image Quality Longer
The PT-FW430 Series projectors’ 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.

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 configu-
ration 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.
