When JVC launched its first plasma monitors users were astonished by their thin,
flat design, but most of all they were captivated by superb picture quality coupled
with a wide viewing angle. Now, the new GD-V4200PZW pushes what can be
achieved with JVC plasma technology to new horizons. Incorporating major
improvements to contrast and brightness, the GD-V4200PZW delivers even more
vivid, high-resolution pictures. Images so bright and so clear you can view them
perfectly in places where there is strong ambient light. The 42-inch wide-screen
display, with its flat screen and zero distortion, has variable wide aspect ratios
from 4:3 to 16:9 — all from a unit that is just 3.5 inches deep. It also features
terminals for full multimedia and DTV compatibility. And, you can put it anywhere
— hang it on a wall, suspend it from a ceiling, or embed it in a desk. All of which
give the GD-V4200PZW plasma display monitor unrivalled flexibility for
applications ranging from multimedia presentations and video posters to
displaying real-time text and image information.

■Wide Screen, High-Resolution Pictures
The GD-V4200PZW offers bright, crisp pictures
with an outstanding resolution of 853 X 480
pixels, along with selectable 4:3 or 16:9 aspect
ratios. Performance at this level opens up a wide
array of video, multimedia, and computer-linked
applications. The versatile GD-V4200PZW can
also be used with VGA and S-VGA/XGA
(compression) resolution computers.
■Zero-Distortion Flat Display with Wide
Viewing Angle
The totally flat display of the GD-V4200PZW
means you’ll see absolutely no distortion or
unevenness of the picture at edges or corners.
Its viewing angle of 160° in either horizontal or
vertical directions, also lets you freely install
the monitor to be clearly visible to viewers
regardless of their location in a room.
■16.77-Million Color Display
The GD-V4200PZW provides 256 levels of color
for each of red, green, and blue pixels.
That translates into 16.77 million colors, which
means extraordinary depth of color and realism
for multimedia or video applications.
■Super Thin Monitor Design
Measuring just 89 mm in depth, the elegantly
designed GD-V4200PZW can be installed virtually
anywhere and takes up very little space —
whether on a wall, suspended from a ceiling, or
embedded in a desk or exhibition panel.
■Flicker-Free Display
Because a plasma display adopts a non-interlace
system, which uses every scanning line of
the display, unlike a CRT display which uses
every other line, pictures are crisp and flicker-
free. That ensures minimal eye fatigue when
viewing the monitor continuously for long
periods.
■No Magnetic Influence
Because GD-V4200PZW plasma display is totally
immune from the effects of electromagnetic field
and does not radiate X-ray, it thus opens up
a wide range of applications in hospitals,
industrial sites and laboratories.
■Multi-Format and Multimedia Compatibility
The GD-V4200PZW offers full compatibility with
NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats. And, in the
multimedia world it accepts signals from S-VHS/
VHS VCR’s, DVD players, and digital cameras.
■W-VHS Viewing
The GD-V4200PZW features Y/Pb/Pr inputs for
viewing a signal from W-VHS VCR, in only
available from JVC and can record baseband
Hi-Vision signal directly.
■Color Temperature
Not like others, JVC GD-V4200PZW has
a capability to adjust its color temperature
precisely designed for video monitor application.
6500°K and 9300°K presets are selectable.
■Other Features
RS-232C remote terminal for wired control and
Multi Link terminal of GD-V4200PZW offers ease
of operation, and useful Screen Saver and built-in
All-White Signal Generator reduce fatigue on
plasma phosphors and secure durability.

■Full 8-Bit RGB Driver
The new GD-V4200PZW offers exceptional
depth of color by assigning 256 values for each
of the red, green, and blue components of a
pixel. As a result, the monitor displays over
16.77 million colors. That is enough to
reproduce true color of full photographic
quality, as well as generate graphics with
exceptionally rich tones to provide real impact,
either for multimedia presentations or when the
monitor is interfaced with a PC.
■Contrast Ratio — 500:1
The GD-V4200PZW comes with sophisticated
circuitry that enhances its contrast ratio to
500:1, making it the leader in its class. For the
viewer, that means crystal sharp pictures which
seem to leap out of the screen. Besides
creating an eye-catching display, high contrast
offers special advantages when displaying
detailed tables of alphabetic and numeric
characters — such as a rail or airline schedule.
So, viewers can read spread sheets of
information instantly. It also reduces eye fatigue
among users who spend long periods tracking
numeric information on a screen, whether
industrial production statistics or stock and
currency exchange rate quotes.
■Actual Brightness — 240 cd/m2
Brightness has also received a strong
boost compared to conventional levels.
Delivering bright pictures of 240 cd/m2,
the GD-V4200PZW outperforms conventional
models by some 66 percent. Brighter images
further extend the monitor’s applications to
outdoor use in strong sunlight and indoor
locations where the ambient light level is
unusually high.
■S-VGA/XGA Compression
GD-V4200PZW accepts S-VGA and XGA input
signals. S-VGA / XGA compressed display on
GD-V4200PZW can be switched two aspect
modes between 4:3 (640 x 480 dots) and 16:9
(853 x 480 dots).

■DTV Input
You can connect
the GD-V4200PZW to DTV to
take advantage of the most popular DTV
formats, including 1080i, 720p and 480p.
Likely users include broadcasters and video
post-production houses.
■S-VHS, W-VHS and DVD Inputs
The GD-V4200PZW accepts both S-VHS,
W-VHS and DVD signals. Among the many
exciting potential applications are
S-VHS/W-VHS, DVD monitor, electronic
publications and electronic advertising.
■16.77 Million Colors
The GD-V4200PZW delivers pictures with
a resolution of 640 X 480 pixels at an aspect
ratio of 4:3 (853 X 480 at 16:9) and displays
16.77 million colors. Such depth of color and
direct connectivity to a computer, coupled
with XGA compatibility, support many
exciting multimedia applications.
These include connecting the monitor to
a computer, teleconferencing, education,
retail store promotions, and sales
presentations.
■3.5 inches Deep
With its thin, lightweight design,
the GD-V4200PZW can be installed in
a small area, and can be hung on a wall or
suspended from a ceiling. So the monitor
can be freely installed in museums, art
galleries, public spaces, lifts, hospitals,
banks, airports and exhibition sites.
■Wall/Ceiling Mountable
Mounted vertically, the GD-V4200PZW
becomes a portrait monitor, which can be
used as a digital poster carrying
advertisements or simply as a medium for
creating a dynamic and exciting retail
space. Possible users are boutiques, video
stores, travel agencies, and music stores.
■EMC Class B
Compatibility
Conformed to Class B category
in EMC, GD-V4200PZW is ideal for
use in demanding environments including
personal use.
■Flicker-Free Display
Because the GD-V4200PZW has a flicker-
free display it is the ideal choice for
applications that involve continuous
viewing for long periods. Applications
include information displays and CCTV
displays for monitoring production
processes and laboratory experiments.
■160° Viewing Angle
A distortion-free flat screen and a wide
viewing angle open up such applications
as a visual guide, a graphic display, or
a presentation tool. Installation sites could
include museums, zoos, aquaria, shopping
malls, and teleconferencing facilities.

Caution:
 PDP is an ultra modern electronic device fabricated using leading-edge technology. Therefore, its effective picture elements are 99.99 percent or more, meaning 0.01 percent or less defective
elements or “always ON” portion could exist. Screen burn-in: Like a CRT, PDP uses phosphor; therefore, burn-in could result from long-term use such as displaying the same still picture.
