    Description, Features 
    and Benefits
    The PlasmaWall XP Series Flat-Panel Plasma Display Monitor and DHD Controller 
    establish a higher threshold for flat panel display products. The PlasmaWall XP Series is 
    available in three sizes, including our largest and highest-resolution plasma ever, at 103 
    inches diagonal and 1920 x 1080 (1080p) native resolution.
    The PlasmaWall takes picture quality to a whole new level, boasting our brightest picture, 
    best contrast ratio, deepest black levels and most spot-on high definition colorimetry ever! 
    In addition, sophisticated 16-bit digital video processing, a new milestone, results in 4096 
    steps of graduation for seamless images completely devoid of the primitive solarization 
    and stair stepping characteristics previously plaguing digital flat panel displays. 
    The PlasmaWall features all of the Runco technologies you have come to expect from the 
    Worlds Finest Home Theater Products. Discrete, multiple aspect ratio control includes 
    VirtualWide™ for viewing 4:3 content in widescreen without appreciable picture 
    degradation, as well as ISF(ccc) calibration modes to easily maintain ISF standards. The 
    automation interface includes RS-232 control with discrete aspect ratio, input and power 
    on/off selection. 
    The included Digital High-Definition (DHD) Video Controller/Scaler/Processor provides a 
    pure digital signal path from input to output as well as a broad array of video input 
    choices, all available from its position in the equipment rack, with only digital video and 
    command cables running to the display itself. 
    The PlasmaWall not only represents a leap forward in high definition flat-panel technology, 
    but our engineering advances in plasma design ensure that it will enjoy a long life in any 
    installation, with operation extending to as much as 60,000 hours. At less than 5-3/4 
    inches thin, the PlasmaWall provides unlimited installation flexibility as well.

     16:9 Native Resolution: 1920 x 1080
