¶ Introduces newly developed 50" XGA Wide Plasma Panel
The new high-precision XGA 50" wide plasma panel pushes the
envelope of previous high-luminance panels, producing brighter,
clearer images with higher contrast.
¶ Newly developed full screen filter produces clear,
high-contrast images even in a lighted room.
The new full screen filter suppresses surface reflections to a
minimum, producing clear, high-contrast images even in lighted
locations. Unnecessary frequency components of RGB signals
are also cut, greatly enhancing color reproduction.
¶ Supports wide range of computer signal formats
Direct display of computer signals is supported in resolutions
from 640x400 and 640x480 (VGA) to 1024x768 (XGA) and
1280x768; computer signals with resolutions of 1280x1024
(SXGA) and 1600x1200 (UXGA) are supported in compressed
display format. Screen aspect ratios include DOT-BY-DOT, 4:3,
FULL, and PARTIAL*1
* 1. Operation of screen aspect ratios and screen size differ
depending on the input signal.
¶ Free Installation Configuration
Broader installation possibilities with thinner,
lighter, high-endurance design.
While producing a large 50" screen image, the display is only
98mm thick, and weighs in at only 38.9 kg. On the other hand,
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 and styles.
¶ High reliability for commercial applications
The is provided with features giving it high dependability in
commercial applications, including the ability to suppress peak
luminance in accordance with the viewing program, and to
change the cooling fan's speed in accordance with changes in
operating environment. Such features provide safety and high-
endurance under conditions of commercial use.
¶ Improved usability
User convenience has been improved by the inclusion of
features making the display even more compatible with your
computer. Some of these include the one-touch screen
adjustment AUTO SETUP function for computer connections,
and the POINT ZOOM function to enlarge local portions of the
screen image to display important detailed program data.
¶ Power-Saving Design
This display achieves the lowest power consumption in the
industry for screens in the 50" XGA class (380 W). Further, use of
the power-control function provides a 20% reduction in power
consumption compared to normal operating conditions (MODE 1,
with color-bar signal input).
