Unique Cell Structure. Deep within the PlasmaSync 42XM2,
50XM3 and 61XM2 there is a unique cell structure. Color is
created by voltage being applied to electrodes above and below
the cells which are coated in red, green or blue phosphors.
The emission of light that is discharged from these cells
increases the luminance but decreases the power
consumption. The results are vivid colors and unimaginable
clarity.

achieving absolute clarity.

NEC’s advanced plasma panel technology produces stunning images in
a Wide XGA native panel resolution of 1365x768 (1024x768 42XM2). Our
exclusive Capsulated Color Filter Technology provides extremely
realistic and saturated colors as well as enhanced contrast. Color
realism is enhanced by AccuCrimson, a filter technology that produces
the purest shade of red possible in a plasma display.

The PlasmaSync XGA models deliver superb image quality
from any source. NEC’s Advanced AccuBlend scan
conversion provides precise interpolation of computer-based
information from VGA to UXGA in both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect
ratios. This enables the monitor to display clear, readable
images even in non-native resolutions. In addition, motion­compensated 3D scan conversion provides smooth, lifelike
display of video sources and a 3-2 pull down converter
enhances the appearance of content originally produced in 24 frame/second film.

Go even further to achieve ultimate color using our Color Tune Technology. It is now possible to adjust
individual colors without affecting the white balance. Fine tune the blues in skies or the greens in the trees.

enlightening your business needs.

While you understand your business and how your ideas need to be perfectly reproduced,
you depend on the experts to bring your presentations to light. Enlightenment means
knowing that the best way to display these ideas is to trust a company that understands
your needs. NEC’s commitment to absolute quality, reproduction and service is
unsurpassed. The PlasmaSync Multimedia monitors offer outstanding picture quality,
high resolution support, computer, video and HDTV source compatibility for conference
room presentations, broadcast production, home theater entertainment and other
multimedia applications.

a smooth path.

Mass Area Sampling (MASS) delivers high quality images and allows

smooth reproduction for clear, precise color. MASS also eliminates
jagged lines and corrects color bleeds to create clear and defined
images. Finally, proper scaling is selected for the input signal
resolution resulting in the most accurate image reproduction possible.

a fine balance.

Control even the darkest of images using the Gamma-12 feature. With
over 4,000 shades of gray you can manage the picture’s brightness and
enhance the image’s overall quality.

Color Temperature controls the tone of the whites in the image. Four
preset modes are available which select a specific color temperature.
If finer adjustments are needed simply switch into the professional
mode for more advanced tuning.

The new Scan Converter changes input signals in accordance with the
resolution of the display. This makes a dramatic difference resulting in
even the smallest of characters being perfectly legible.

With AccuShield your screen stays protected from image retention with the

advanced configuration.

NEC has built in many professional grade functions such as the
Advanced Timer that can carry out various operations at designated
times. Operations include powering on/off, input selection and
activating long life modes. These features enable the monitor to
virtually operate itself.

Built in image matrixing is possible in two configurations resulting in
a 2x2 or 3x3 video wall. Internal processing allows the video to be split
into quadrants eliminating the need for external matrix equipment.
