“Panasonic has been a great corporate citizen, and I would like to thank them for their generous donation,” said Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. “New York’s City Hall is the oldest in the nation to still house its original government functions, and this desperately-needed renovation, including this 103-inch High Definition Plasma display, has given the building new life – making our office safer, more efficient and more technologically advanced.” “It is a great honor for Panasonic to have the flagship of our market-leading 1080p Plasma HDTVs become a part of New York’s City Hall,” said Joseph Taylor, Chief Operating Officer, Panasonic Corporation of North America. “Just as this cutting-edge display provides amazingly sharp, crisp video for entertainment purposes, it is also a great way for the city’s leaders to share remote video and other data vital to the safe and secure operation of the city’s systems.”“It is wonderful to see New York’s City Hall moving so quickly to utilize such an advanced flat panel display for information display and video needs,” said Tom Campbell, technology adviser to the project. “City Hall has set the standard for high-technology implementation in the municipal space.” The Panasonic TH-103PH9UK provides stunning widescreen progressive display featuring full HD pixel resolution of 1,920 horizontal x 1,080 vertical, a contrast ratio of 5,000:1, and 4,096 equivalent steps of gradation for excellent color reproduction and pristine, lifelike video.
