Panasonic TH-43EQ2W 43" 4K UHD, 500cd/m2, SDM, LED LCD Display
Product Overview
The Panasonic TH-43EQ2W is a 43-inch 4K UHD commercial display engineered for digital signage, conference rooms, and classrooms. At 500 cd/m² with a 25% haze anti-glare panel, this commercial-grade display stays readable in bright, open spaces, and an Intel SDM expansion slot lets integrators add wireless presentation or signal-distribution boards. Rated for 18-hour daily operation in portrait or landscape, it suits both meeting-space collaboration and information display.
Product Description
The TH-43EQ2W uses a 42.5-inch IPS-type ADS panel at native 3840 x 2160 with 1.07 billion colors, an 8 ms (GtG) response time, and a 60 Hz refresh rate for clean motion and wide 178° viewing. Three HDMI inputs, a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode and up to 60 W of power delivery, and USB-A ports cover a range of source and peripheral connections, while RS-232C, LAN with AMX and Crestron Connected support, and SNMP v1–v3 make it straightforward to fold into an existing control system. The Intel SDM-S/SDM-L slot accepts Panasonic's PressIT wireless presentation receiver or third-party boards such as 12G-SDI and DIGITAL LINK, sold separately.
Collaboration and signage features include a built-in whiteboard function, USB pass-through so a connected room camera or speakerphone is ready when a laptop is plugged into USB-C, a USB media player for standalone playback, portrait zoom for tiled signage, and failover/failback signal switching for control-room reliability. For a 43-inch model with an integrated tuner, compare the Panasonic TH-43CQE2U.
