Introduction

Vidikron presents the DView™ VL-40/VL-46 Flat-Panel LCDs, perfect for those who demand our award-winning flat panel performance in a more intimate size than we offer with our larger plasma monitors. The DViews are ideal for close-in viewing where picture quality remains a high priority, but larger displays cannot be accommodated.

The DView™ VL-40/VL-46 Flat-Panel LCDs incorporate the superb Imagix™ digital video processing that produces outstanding picture quality with a wide range of both standard and high definition source material. In addition, the handsome, classic pewter-finished television is engineered with ISF™ calibration standards for the purest video performance.

The DView offers PIP, PBP, closed captioning, Parental Control (V-Chip) functionality and multi-language support. The display includes an integrated stereo audio system incorporating surround sound technology with two-way speakers and generous power amplification.

The advanced TFT active-matrix LCD display panel offers 1920 x 1080 resolution and includes Vidikron’s discrete aspect ratio control with IntelliWide™ mode to fill the 16:9 screen with standard 4:3 images without loss of picture quality. Also included are discrete source, aspect ratio and power selection and an RS-232 interface for whole-house or automated control system integration.
