Description, Features and 
Benefits

The PlasmaView VHD flat-panel plasma monitor brings outstanding picture quality to its size 
category with true, high-definition native resolution of 1365 x 768 for no-compromise 
viewing of any video source.

The PlasmaView VHD is supplied with Vidikron’s next-generation VHD Controller, featuring 
advanced Imagix™ processing. This controller produces stunning video imagery, elevating 
even standard NTSC material to near high-definition levels. The VHD Controller provides for a 
pure digital signal path from input to output, making this system ready for Vidikron’s 
exclusive LiveLink™ DVI cable solution to preserve HD signal quality over long runs. 

Multiple aspect ratio control includes Vidikron’s IntelliWide™ mode for viewing 4:3 material 
in widescreen with no loss of picture quality. 

The PlasmaView VHD’s black level performance and shadow detail capability have been 
enhanced with Active Gray Scale Rendering to provide smoother transitions from dark to 
light, resulting in richly detailed textures even in shadowy scenes.

The PlasmaView VHD is easily integrated into custom installation systems. Both RS-232C and 
IR control interfaces are incorporated for simple automation. Its profile is less than 5-1/2 
inches thin for wall-mounting simplicity.

• 16:9 Native Resolution: 1365 x 768
