The FWD-42PV1Plasma Pro is a flat panel display with several
features that make it well-suited for the demands of today’s
business environment, including a category-leading10,000:1
contrast ratio for vivid picture quality for digital signage,
hospitality and conference room applications. It also offers
WVGA resolution (852 x 480), and the ability to display images
and video from a wide assortment of inputs and formats.
The monitor has two slots to accommodate a television tuner
and the BKM-FW32 network card, enabling users to monitor
the display's status and troubleshoot multiple networked
displays from one central location. For added convenience
when integrating into a system, an AC outlet is provided to supply power to equipment such as twisted
pair transceivers up to 0.5 A. Last, lower total cost of ownership, due in part to low power consumption, adds to overall
value. A special edition
model FWD-42PV1A/S which works effectively at high altitudes, which can affect standard plasma
displays is also available.
