The PFM-42V1 incorporates a WVGA plasma display panel that achieves a high brightness and high contrast ratio. Its slim and lightweight design combined with precise images and smooth picture edges make it ideal for digital signage at retail stores, shopping malls, airports, train stations, entertainment venues, hospitality rooms - and anywhere you need to grasp the attention of visitors.

Sony's PFM-42V1 is a wide screen 42-inch AC-type plasma display, perfect for a wide variety of applications, including information booths, trade shows, video production, HDTV display, home theaters, board rooms, and more. It has a 852 x 480 maximum resolution, which combines with a multi-layer, AR-coated screen, 1.08 mm dot pitch, and 16.8 million colors to provide accurate, easy-to-read onscreen images. The widescreen 16:9 (full), wide zoom (expanded 4:3), letter box, and standard 4:3 display settings give you several aspect ratios to choose from.

Onscreen menus offer access to a variety of display settings, and you can choose between six display languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Japanese). The 15-pin D-Sub, RGB, composite video, BNC, 4-pin Mini DIN, and DVI input connectors accept a wide range of input signals including SDTV, HDTV, DVI and RGB computer signals as well as NTSC (North America), PAL (Europe), SECAM (South America), NTSC4.43, PAL60, PAL-N PAL-M, and PAL-N. The AC 100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz power supply consumes about 360 W of power during operation, while the internal 7W audio amplifier drives the optional audio speakers. The PFM-42V1 is also compatible with PC and Mac operating systems and is backed by a one year limited warranty.
