Description, Features and
Benefits
The PlasmaView High-Definition Plasma Display combines high-resolution quality and
affordability into one package. It has all of the features that one has come to expect from a
Vidikron product, including high-quality video processing, aspect ratio control and ease of
use. The advanced Vidikron processing inside the PlasmaView combined with its high native
resolution allows the most accurate scaling for all types of signals, including DVD
(progressive or interlaced), all currently-available HDTV formats and computers.
For video originally made in film, the PlasmaView has built-in 3:2 pulldown for the sharpest
and most artifact-free images possible. Like all Vidikron plasmas, it can be mounted on a wall,
ceiling or placed on a tabletop and is bright enough for use in any lighting situation: its size is
such that it can be the centerpiece of many home theaters.
The PlasmaView offers a resolution of up to 1365 x 768 and discrete aspect ratio control with
IntelliWide™ mode to fill a 16:9 screen with standard 4:3 images without loss of picture
quality. Also included are discrete source selection, multi-language support and an RS-232
interface for whole-house or automated control system integration.
The PlasmaView High-Definition Plasma Display has been carefully engineered with ISF™
calibration standards for superb video performance. At less than 5.25 inches deep, it can be
wall-mounted or used on a tabletop stand.
For high-altitude installations, Vidikron also offers the VP-4200a, VP-5000a and VP-6000a
with industry-leading high-altitude compliance to over 9000 feet (2,740 meters) mean sea
level (MSL). The VP-4200a, VP-5000a and VP-6000a share all other features and specifications
with the VP-4200, VP-5000a and VP-6000 respectively.
