Contrast measurements for the real world.
To date, the plasma display market has not followed a consistent
standard to determine contrast ratio with most measurements
taken in unrealistically dark viewing conditions.
NEC takes pride in its contrast measurements, which reflect true-
to-life viewing conditions typically found in environments that
would incorporate a plasma display, such as an office, school,
airport, shopping mall or home. By providing plasma displays that
are optimized for “real world” conditions, users are assured more
accurate image depth and detail that is real and not washed out.
NEC is setting the standard for high contrast in real world
applications. This standard is validated by the PlasmaSync
61XM2’s Five-Star DisplayMate Best Video Hardware Award.
According to Dr. Raymond Soneira, President of DisplayMate
Technologies, “The NEC 61XM2 Plasma monitor delivered
impressive image and picture quality for both computer and video
applications. Performance in both the laboratory tests and viewing
tests was outstanding. The colors were bright, saturated and an
excellent match to our professional studio reference monitor.”
