Amazon.com Product Description
Why wait? ViewSonic's 42-inch VPW4255 is a relatively low-priced entry in the exciting realm of plasma screens. The widescreen plasma set includes a built-in TV tuner to bring stunning broadcast-TV images into your home and boardroom. Revolutionary NextVision technology brings images to life with spectacular brightness and depth, and XtremeView performance offers viewing angles up to 160 degrees (horizontal and vertical) while delivering vivid images with nearly unmatched picture quality. The display's 1,024 x 1,024 native resolution, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and 1,100 cd/m2 typical brightness produce clear and bright images, whether you're viewing high-definition television (HDTV) programs, movies, or photos.

With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the VPW4255 is a mere 3.5 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting (desktop stand and wall mount not included). Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems. You do, however, need to be wary of image burn-in--wherein long-held stationary images leave a permanent impression in the screen--especially critical to keep in mind if you'll be using the set for PC work and viewing.

The high-gloss black display is compatible with both standard- and high-definition signals, including 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i. Clear Picture electronics eliminate noise, increase contrast and detail, and optimize color for a rich, vibrant image. Meanwhile, progressive scan, motion-adaptive de-interlacing and 3-D comb filter technology provide smooth, life-like pictures without jagged lines and signal noise.

The VPW4255 also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal. Movie mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30-fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Connections include composite-video, component-video, S-video, analog RGB, a DVI-I (Digital Visual Interface for PC) with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and an RS-232C control interface (RS-232 cable not included). You can simultaneously create, view, and customize picture-in-picture, split-screen, or full-screen windows for data, video, and TV signals.

Please be advised that speakers are sold separately, and you can always use your existing stereo pair, too: The VPW4255 provides clip-type speaker terminals and stereo amplification. A dedicated monaural RCA subwoofer output facilitates hookup with a standalone powered speaker designed to extend the low-frequency response of your listening system.
