Today we will look at the monitor TX-40EX633E from Panasonic from the year 2018. Within this article, we will first take a closer look at the most important feature of a monitor -the display-, then the design, and in the next section we will go into the features of the monitor. Of course, power consumption, certifications, connectivity and other important details will also be considered.
Display
Videos and/or other applications can be displayed on the monitor's 40 inches ( 80.1 cm on the diagonal). While classic CRT monitors were built with a screen ratio of 4:3, this monitor has a ratio of 1.778 : 1 (width to height). In addition to the aspect ratios and the specified screen diagonal, the ratio between the monitor surface and the actual display could also be important for some enthusiasts. This ratio describes the general relationship between the non-display area and the display. In other words, approximately 100.3 % of the front surface of the monitor consists of the display, while the remaining percent consists of screen edges and does not enable image reproduction. When setting up several monitors next to each other, it is advisable to prefer models with the narrowest possible edges. The display is a SVA panel. The panel has a resolution of 2560 x 1440 px. The pixel density is 96 ppi. The pixel pitch is 0.233 mm. The continuous possible brightness specified by the manufacturer Panasonic is 400 nt. The panel is illuminated by W-LED. The built-in panel ensures stable color reproduction of the image, even at deviating viewing angles, by means of its 178 ° (horizontal) viewing angle. Panasonic promises stable color reproduction moreover within a 178 ° vertical angle. Vertically, however, the image renews at a minimum rate of 50 hz up to 50 hz. The minimum response time of the monitor is ms. The display panel is Anti-glare/Matte (3H).
Color space
The panel has a bit depth of 8 per color channel, but what does that mean? The number of bits determines how many colors can be encoded for the individual pixels of the display. For an 8-bit panel, for example, this is 256 different colors (2^8 = 256). However, since we usually display three different colors per pixel at the same time, in theory about 16 million (256^3) different colors are possible by mixing the three pixels. A 10-bit panel could even display a billion colors.
Contrast ratio
Contrast ratio is a common measurement used to represent the maximum relative differences in brightness between black and white. It describes the ability of a screen or projector to produce a high-contrast image and is the quotient of the maximum and minimum displayable luminance. The higher the values are away from each other, the stronger the quantitatively seen difference between black and white is set up, which in turn results in an improved image quality. This monitor from Panasonic has a static contrast ratio of 4000 : 1 , according to the manufacturer.
HDR
The monitor supports all HDR modes listed here:
screen design
Panasonic Specifies the following dimensions for the monitor TX-40EX633E without stand/feet: 36.5 cm x 65 cm x 11.6 cm (HxWxD)
The size of the monitor (stand included) is 47.6 x 67.3 x 23 cm (HxWxD). If you want to place the monitor on a table or even transport it, you should expect a weight of 7 kg with the stand screwed in. Without stand, the monitor weighs 6.5 kg. Speaking of weight without a stand and thus wall or table mounts. The monitor supports a Vesa mounting.
Curved
The TX-40EX633E is a curved monitor with a curvature of 1.8 m
Rotate, tilt and swivel
The monitor from Panasonic cannot be rotated. The monitor cannot be swiveled. This feature could be retrofitted with a third-party stand. The monitor TX-40EX633E offers the option of adjusting the tilt as required to create an ergonomic working environment and reduce visual fatigue. The angle of inclination to the rear is 15. The monitor can be tilted forward by 4 degree.
Ports
camera
This monitor does not have a camera.
Loudspeaker
Features
- Flicker Free: Panasonic 's Flicker Free technology minimizes distracting screen flicker, allowing you to work and/or play longer without restrictions.
- The display/monitor supports Frame Rate Compensation.
WiFi / Bluetooth
Power consumption
The average consumption figure for TX-40EX633E is 64 w. The maximum power consumption (peak) specified for this monitor is 79 w. In standby mode, the device consumes approximately 0.5 w. When switched off, on the other hand, the monitor consumes only 0.3 w. TX-40EX633E supports a static ECO mode, which for example lowers the refresh rate, reduces brightness and disables AI functions to save energy. The monitor can be operated on a 110v power supply. The monitor can be operated on a 220v power supply. The power grid has to supply a frequency of 50 hz to 60 hz.
Environment
The maximum permissible ambient temperature is 40 °C during operation. Below a temperature of 10 °C , the monitor from Panasonic should again not be used. The humidity must not exceed 80 percent. At least, however, 10 percent humidity.
