61-inch Wide Plasma Monitor

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lickably-delicious dept.

Mister.de writes "NEC Plasma Display Corporation today announced the launch of two 61-inch wide plasma monitors from the PlasmaSync(TM)61XM2+series (a grey bezel model, and a silver bezel model) that are equipped with "Enhanced Split Screen" ability - a high quality, high performance Double Picture function. Sales will commence on February 1st, 2004 to meet various uses mainly in multimedia presentation and public display applications with different release dates for each region. NEC Plasma Display Corporation is targeting 25% of the world commercial market share with its 11 model line up. See the source with picture or Read the Main Specifications." The 1365x768 resolution definitely means this is more TV than Monitor, but who wouldn't want it in their office?

    ... 61-inch wide ...

    Actually 61" diagonal. Nice anyway. This would be great for presentations: beats a projector hands down.

    LG thought that they were going to steal the show at CES with their puny 65" model but then Samsung dropped the bomb with an 80 incher... 1920x1080p... Wow...

    Actually, Samsung have released a 63" Plasma TV a while ago. Their frontpage displays their 80" Plasma TV with a resolution of 1920x1080. Yes. Eight Zero Inches.

    No, DLP (Digital Light Processing) is used for BOTH rear and forward projection. The original poster is erroneously thinking it's for forward projection only, and you are mistaking it for rear projection only. The technology can be (and is) used for either.

    I saw on CNN Headline News during one of their tech segments, they were displaying the game on a large plasma display, but the player was having to shoot at a very small (10" or so) color monitor because, as they said, the gun does not work on the plasma display.
