PDM4210 42" Plasma Display Monitor - (PDM-4210)
Discontinued
Movies have never looked better than they do on this extraordinary
plasma display monitor. For the finest in home viewing, as well as
superior control, convenience and versatility, the PDM-4210 is the clear
choice.
"Natural Black" Concept
To provide superior contrast,
Yamaha developed the Natural Black concept, combining advanced
technologies, parts and functions to achieve truer, deeper levels of
black than ever before.
MAIN FEATURES
ALIS Method Panel The PDM-4210 uses an advanced
ALIS (Alternate Lighting of Surface) Method to deliver a sharp, clear
picture with the smooth, high-definition quality you see in a movie
theater. The pixels are defined electronically rather than physically,
allowing each picture element to be smaller than normal. This creates a
higher pixel count for a smoother, seamless picture, with edges and
curves clearly defined. The PDM-4210 features a brighter picture (1,100
cd/m2) and higher color temperature, which makes white areas such as
clouds in the sky standout more vividly. The panel can also display a
wide range of colors (16.7 million), with enhanced color purity.
Natural Black Drive System
Yamaha’s Natural Black Drive System
automatically determines the brightness of the screen and applies the
gray scale (contrast) best suited to the scene in order to reproduce
both bright and dark areas. The contrast ratio is an outstanding
1,000:1.
HDTV Capability
The PDM-4210 is fully HDTV capable, meaning that
1080i high definition images can be displayed line for line without
vertical scaling. The 1,024 x 1,024 resolution provides a completely
clean HDTV picture, with no noise at the edges. Digital Linear Color
Control Digital Linear Color Control continually maintains the ideal
balance between the three main colors (red, green, blue) for optimum
color reproduction in every scene from very dark to very bright. The
sharpness and tint of each color are independently controlled, so you
can adjust tint more precisely.
Mode Selection for Best Picture Quality
The PDM-4210 offers several modes that allow you
to adjust the picture to obtain maximum quality. There are two Picture
modes (Day and Night), four White Balance modes (Normal, Cool, Warm,
Black-White), and a Film mode for watching movies.
High Quality Sound
A digital amplifier supplies 12W x 12W of
low-distortion stereo sound. SRS TruBass and Matrix Surround are
provided, as well as four audio modes (Movie, Music, Speech, Favorite).
