Sony has introduced a new, aggressively priced, 42-inch wide-screen plasma screen to capture a bigger share of the rapidly growing plasma display market. Although affordable, the PFM-42V1 features WVGA resolution (852 x 480 pixels) and anti-reflective panel protection for the highest brightness and highest contrast image display in its class.
With its stylish, silver or black-coloured frame, completely flat screen and ultra thin profile, the new Sony plasma display is light enough to be mounted horizontally, fixed on an optional stand or to a wall, or even hung from the ceiling.
"In today's multimedia world, it is more important than ever to get your message across effectively, with greater quality, impact and style," says Sony Broadcast and Professional SA product manager, Display Solutions, Marius Louw.
The feature-packed PFM-42V1 has been designed to be a conduit for sales and marketing promotions for digital signage applications, including point-of-purchase and brand advertising, as well as information display in transportation hubs. Being networkable, it is also perfect for setting the right mood in restaurants, casinos, clubs and lounges playing background video to entertain. The monitor's rugged yet durable design also makes it ideal for rental and trade show applications.
Adds Louw: "Plasma screens are also favoured by the corporate world for high impact boardroom presentations, major sales conferences and to impress visitors in prestigious reception areas."
