VP-42 / VP-42HD / VP-50 / VP-60 Flat Panel Display Monitor

Vidikron presents a full line-up of high performance plasma display monitors, perfect for every application. Three models, 42, 50 and 60 inch, all share common style, engineering and design, features and state-of-the-art performance.

These three popular sizes all feature HDTV capable, 16:9 native resolution display panels with advanced engineering innovations to give you the brightest, clearest images possible. Vidikron’s superior video processing with 3:2 film detection circuitry is built into the monitors and provides exceptional detail and artifact-free video enhancement, elevating even standard NTSC material to near HD quality.

Multiple aspect ratio control includes Vidikron’s IntelliWide mode, offering the ability to view standard video formats in widescreen without loss of image quality. IR and discrete RS-232 controls facilitate glitch-free custom installation, while Dynamic Pixel Protection™ helps to protect the plasma panel from stationery image burn.

A generous number of inputs and the sleekest styling around make these flat panel display monitors a great value and the ideal choice for discerning viewers.
