28-Mar-03

V Inc. announced the shipment of its 46-inch digital plasma television. The Vizio P4 has a native resolution of 852 x 480 (pixels), and is compatible with HDTV formats including 480p, 1080i, and 720p. It comes standard with an integrated 181-channel NTSC/PAL TV tuner, stand, and built-in stereo speakers.The thin (3.2 inches deep), widescreen (16:9) plasma display boasts 20 percent or 150 square inches more viewing area than a 42-inch display, a 160-degree viewing angle, 800:1 contrast ratio, and 16.77 million colors, as well as a fan-less cooling design. The Vizio P4 offers a complete complement of inputs, including RGB (15-pin D-sub), component video, S-video, composite video, and standard RF. A DVI (Digital Visual Interface) has been included on the Vizio P4 to allow direct digital input to similarly equipped PC or Macintosh computers, HDTV set-top boxes, and DVD players such as V Inc.'s Bravo D1. Direct digital connection via DVI eliminates video scaling and noise artifacts, which are introduced because of analog to digital conversion. An advanced digital image processor enhances and controls the various sources input to the digital display. It features high-performance motion-adaptive deinterlacing to produce progressive scan images from standard definition content, and 3:2 pull-down of filmed DVD material. Four adjustable aspect ratios include: 4:3 or 16:9 (Full), 4:3 to 16:9 (Stretch), and auto-detect anamorphic (enhanced for widescreen TV) modes. Other features include digital pan and 20x zoom feature, and picture-in-picture. Additionally, the Vizio P4 features an ""Optimal Brightness"" mode, to address the very different brightness requirements between computer and TV display settings. ""Computer display devices are designed to show static pictures clearly, and the brightness of such display devices are, by design, much lower than televisions. TVs are designed to display very bright, high-contrast, moving pictures in environments with a lot of ambient light,"" states Ken Lowe, Director of Engineering at V Inc. ""The Vizio P4's optimal brightness feature enables light output to be optimized when used as either a computer display or a television."" The Vizio P4 comes with a one-year standard warranty on parts and labor. It weighs 82 pounds and is available now.For more information about V Inc., visit www.Vinc.us.
