Features
Features and Functions of this device
¶ Introduces newly developed 42" Wide Plasma
Panel
The new wide high-precision 42" plasma panel (1024x768
/ 16:9) pushes the envelope of previous high-luminance
panels, producing brighter, clearer images with higher
contrast.
¶ Provides an ES Slot interface for enhanced
potential
The display has a built-in ES Slot Interface for installing third-
party cards. Cards allow external devices to communicate
with the panel, enhancing and expanding its potential.
¶ Supports wide range of computer signals
(analog/digital)
The panel supports non-compressed signals ranging from
640x400 and 640x480 (VGA) to 1024x768 (XGA), and
compressed display of 1280x1024 (SXGA), 1400x1050
(SXGA+) and 1600x1200 (UXGA) signals. Further, aspect
ratio and screen size settings support [DOT BY DOT], [4:3],
and [FULL] (*1).
* Supported signals are different on INPUT1 and INPUT2.
*1 Aspect ratio and screen size appearance differs
depending upon input signal.
¶ Free Installation Configuration
­ Broader installation possibilities with thinner,
lighter, high-endurance design ­
While producing a large 42" screen image, the display is
only 98 mm thick and weighs in at only 30.5 kg. The
efficient heat-radiating design greatly improves
environmental operating conditions. The thinner, lighter
design coupled to high-endurance construction greatly
broadens the range of possible installation locations.
¶ High reliability for commercial applications
This display is highly dependable in commercial
applications because of its ability to supress peak
luminance during viewing and adjust cooling fan speeds
when the operating environment changes.
Such features provide safety and high-endurance under
conditions of commercial use.
¶ Improved usability
User convenience is improved by making the display more
compatible with your computer. Some of these
improvements include the one-touch screen adjustment
[AUTO SET UP] function for computer connections and
the POINT ZOOM function to enlarge selected portions
of the screen image to show detailed program data.
¶ Power-Saving Design
The display has a variety of power-saving functions including
an automatic brightness function with ambient light sensing.
