Contrast measurements for the real world. 

NEC’s contrast measurements reflect true-to-life viewing conditions. NEC has
engineered plasma displays that are optimized for “real world” conditions such as an
office, school, airport, shopping mall or home, so users are assured more accurate
image depth and detail.

To date, the plasma display market does not follow a consistent standard to determine
contrast ratio ratings with most measurements taken in unrealistically dark viewing
conditions. 

NEC is setting the standard for high contrast plasma displays used in real world
applications. This standard is validated by the PlasmaSync 61XM2’s Five-Star
DisplayMate Best Video Hardware Award. According to Dr. Raymond Soneira,
President of DisplayMate Technologies, “The NEC 61XM2 Plasma monitor delivered
impressive image and picture quality for both computer and video applications.
Performance in both the laboratory tests and viewing tests was outstanding. The
colors were bright, saturated and an excellent match to our professional studio
reference monitor.”
