Panasonic BT-LH1760P 17" Widescreen Screen LCD Monitor
The high-performance BT-LH1760 17" LCD production monitor combines an advanced In-Plane Switching panel with outstanding black level and high-end functionality to provide exceptional performance for critical monitoring and viewing. Because it has a 120-Hz double-speed drive, twice that of current LCD monitors, the BT-LH1760 handles fast motion content exceptionally well and reduces image blur to a level never before seen in a professional LCD display. Designed with a 3D Look Up Table (LUT) and 10-bit image processing, this AC/DC high definition monitor delivers a remarkable picture that will give you the edge in the studio or in the field.
The LH1760 is equipped with a built-in waveform monitor and Vectorscope, as well as five function buttons that assure quick access to value-added features such as pixel-to-pixel display, cross hatch, split screen, audio level meters, time code and closed caption (from video) displays. With a rugged diecast aluminum frame, low power consumption and quiet operation, the LH1760 is ideal for a wide range of HD production applications in the studio or the field.
Double-Speed Drive for Blur-Free Moving Images
Moving images without any motion blur are achieved by driving at a speed (120 Hz/100 Hz) that is twice the panel speed and inserting a black frame of a certain level between frames. Unlike frame creation methods, this system minimizes afterimages while displaying images faithful to the input signal. This high-performance, high-speed image display function is ideal for broadcast applications.
Faithful Color Reproduction
The BT-LH1760 features a new image processing engine. By using a three-dimensional LUT (Look Up Table) for each RGB color and applying precise 10-bit image processing, it achieves faithful color reproduction from low to high brightness levels in all video formats.
Versatile Display Performance and Functions
- Advanced image-enhancing circuitry, including excellent motion response and a diagonal line compensation circuit.
- Wide, 176° horizontal and vertical viewing angle.
- Marker and blue-only functions.
- Vectorscope (SDI-In only) and waveform monitoring.
- Cross hatch overlay display.

Low Current Consumption, Fanless Drive
The consumption current of the new BT-LH1760 operating on AC power is about 50% lower than our previous model. And when no signal is received for 60 continuous seconds, the Power Save mode is activated to further minimize power consumption. This enables fanless drive, for a level of quiet operation that makes this model ideal for use in editing studios and Mastering rooms.
