Vidikron VP-6500VHD Plasma HDTV introduction

The new Vidikron VP-6500VHD Plasma HDTV takes image quality to a new level with a bright picture, high contrast ratio and deep black levels and accurate colorimetry. These are among the aspects that have qualified it as the world’s first THX®* Certified flat panel display. The 65 inch HDTV screen has a 1920×1980 resolution and is able to show 1080p HDTV quality.

The on-board 16-bit digital video processing results in 4096 steps of graduation for high quality images, completely void of the “solarization” and “stair stepping” characteristics previously plaguing digital flat panels.

The Vidikron VP-6500VHD features IntelliWide™ for viewing 4:3 content in widescreen without appreciable picture degradation, as well as ISF™ calibration modes for optimum viewing under diverse lighting conditions.

The included VHD Controller/Processor with the so-called Imagix™ video processing maintains a pure digital signal path from input to output, and includes a broad array of video input choices. The home automation interface includes IR and RS-232 capabilities with discrete input selection, power on/off, aspect ratio control and more.

Vidikron also offers the VP-6500VHDa, which is identical in all respects. However, this version is high altitude compliant to over 9000 feet.
