The VP-42HD is “a high-resolution alternative to the enhanced resolution VP-42,” states a company announcement.
The VP-42HD joins Vidikron’s recently introduced VP-42, VP-50, and VP-60, priced at $6,495, $11,995, and $19,995, respectively. All Vidikron PDPs combine great styling with full HDTV capability (using outboard tuner/decoder, D-VHS or satellite receiver). Like all models in the PlasmaView line, the VP42-HD, leverages advanced engineering innovations to provide excellent brightness, contrast and black level performance with outstanding video processing. Stationary image burn, a common problem with plasma displays, is minimized in the VP-42HD (and in all Vidikron monitors) by the implementation of the company’s “Dynamic Pixel Protection” circuitry. Early models of plasma panels were especially susceptible to image burn; many currently on the market still are.
