Model No. : CMP5000WXU Manufacturer : HITACHI Description : Plasma displays are set to become one of the mainstream display devices of the future, and as such are expected to enjoy good market growth. Plasma displays have a number of features, which include a slim, space-saving form factor, self-illumination, digital operation and wide viewing angle. The thinness of the displays allows them to be used in a wide range of installation configurations, and their wide viewing angle means that many people can view the screen at the same time. Thus, plasma displays create a new visual image space that is unlike that of a conventional CRT or projection TV. The ability to display small text and graphics, as well as moving pictures, at high resolutions makes plasma panels suitable for large-screen displays able to handle the fusion of data and moving pictures that is developing through a process of media digitization. Another feature is that since the displays do not use magnets, they can be moved and oriented in different directions without having to adjust the colors and focus each time. CMP5000WXU is ideal for conferences and show rooms, restaurant menu boards, retail stores and sports venues boasting a sleek design with a large 50-inch viewing area, and exceptional video quality. The CMP5000WXU features XGA resolution and a sharp 900: 1 contrast ratio for exceptional image quality. Sophisticated color filters and high brightness ensure rich, natural colors for lifelike imaging. The 16: 9 aspect ratio display is equipped with multi-scan technology to automatically adjust to VGA, S-VGA, XGA, S-XGA or UXGA resolution for enhanced brightness and contrast. The CMP5000WXU features a slim design that is less than four inches thick, bringing a sophisticated look to any installation. The lightweight display is mountable virtually anywhere due to its 85-pound design and a variety of installation options. To further meet the needs of Hitachi's diverse customer base, the CMP5000WXU can be upgraded with an optional video card for enhanced video capabilities. With the video card, the CMP5000WXU is HDTV-ready and accepts composite, component and DVI-D video inputs, as well as additional audio inputs. This optional video card ensures the CMP5000WXU will continue to meet customers' needs well into the future.
