JVC INTRODUCES NEW PLASMA DISPLAY MONITOR GM-P420UG AT CEDIA

WAYNE, NJ (SEPTEMBER 27, 2002)- JVC PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS COMPANY introduces a new high-performance 42-inch plasma display, the GM-P420UG. The GM-P420UG features superb video picture quality boasting a 1500:1 contrast ratio, making it the leader in its class.

Designed for a wide variety of applications, the GM-P420UG delivers extraordinary bright pictures of 370 cd/m² with a wide viewing angle of 160º, outperforming conventional models. This high-resolution flat plasma monitor also offers a fan-less design, allowing quiet operation, and reduced weight and power consumption.

Along with its low power consumption, the GM-P420UG’s long panel life and several image burn-in prevention techniques make it ideally useful for information or command and control applications. With JVC’s new and improved signal processing, the GM-P420UG presents more natural, sharper images for enhanced viewing capability. Outstanding color reproduction is achieved through the use of 256 levels of red, green and blue (RGB) components, resulting in 16.77 million colors.

“The new GM-P420UG comes with sophisticated technology that provides its high contrast ratio and high brightness capability,” said Edgar Shane, JVC’s product manager. “JVC’s signal processing is a critical element that allows this PDP to surpass any other 42-inch plasma in its league.”

The high-performance GM-P420UG accepts PAL and NTSC signals as well as HDTV signals 1080i, 720p and 480p. It is S-VGA and XGA compatible, and features a RS-232C Interface & MAKE remote. With various set-up capabilities and easy access I/O connections, the GM-P420UG provides ample flexibility.
