Making a big impression
The PD4220V pushes the limits of picture performance to new
extremes for multimedia entertainment in your home. With its
large screen size, plasma display technology is the best way to
realize a flat panel display with outstanding image quality. This
Marantz plasma has a stunning 1500:1 contrast ratio and a
beautiful color reproduction for a crisp and vivid image quality
which will transform data from any medium into art. The
PD4220V incorporates advanced digital image enhancing
techniques, and as you expect from a Marantz, its picture
performance is balanced by exceptional good looks. It
perfectly complements your AV tuner and surround sound
system, at the heart of your home theater.
Plasma technology for perfect color reproduction
A plasma display comprises an array of cells (or ‘pixels’), each
composed of three sub-pixels corresponding to red, green and
blue. In each sub-pixel gas in a plasma state reacts with
phosphors to produce colored light. Since these phosphors are
the same types used in conventional CRTs, so you get the rich,
dynamic colors you expect. Each sub-pixel can produce over 16
million colors. Plasma technology in addition is not affected by
magnetic fields and has no color drifts and edge distortion.
And all of this in a display that is less than 89 mm (3.5 inches)
thick!
Motion-compensated de-interlacing
A conventional TV image is interlaced, where each ‘frame’ is
built up from two interlaced image fields that are view
simultaneously. However, when viewing interlaced video on
non-interlaced TVs (like plasma) that display the interlaced
images sequentially, an artifact known as ‘tear’ is visible.
Tearing is due to both fields showing the object moving at
slightly different times. The Marantz PD4220V has a motion
compensated de-interlacer that merges the two fields to
faithfully reproduce the original frame without unpleasant
motion artifacts.
High quality picture performance with natural colors
Full compatibility regardless the source or resolution
Provides the most accurate reconstruction of the original
film content without motion artifacts
Ensures a sharp and accurate image
Assure clear, distinct colors without smearing effect
Automatically converts the resolution of the source to the
native resolution of the screen
A host of multimedia resources can be easily connected
Easy to setup and operate with direct on screen feedback
Sound reproduction via you’re a speaker system of your
choice
Digital transient improvements
Behind the scenes, advanced digital image processing
algorithms optimize picture quality, leaving you free to enjoy
the ultimate viewing experience. Digital Color Transient
Improvement (DCTI) reduces color smear at the vertical edges
of bright colored areas on the TV image whereas Digital
Luminance Transient Improvement (DLTI) enhances contour
detail in scenes for a sharper, more natural picture.
Black level expansion
Black level expansion creates richer, deeper black tones. It
dynamically analyses every image and literally ‘stretches’ dark
areas to a realistic black while leaving light areas untouched.
The result is better contrast, without black areas looking gray if
you increase the picture brightness.
10-Bit digital gamma processing
ThePD4220V uses a high-performance, 10-bit digital gamma
processing circuit to optimize the non-linear imaging
characteristics. It is far superior to conventional analogue and
lesser bit-rate gamma processing; this circuitry delivers natural
colors and smooth image graduation.
