XP-65DHD
THX®has long been recognized as the leader
in both the finest movie theater presentations
and superb home theater performance. The
THX Video Display Program has established
the industry’s highest standards of video
performance for home video display products.
Runco is proud to be the first home video
display manufacturer to meet these demanding
standards and offers the THX Certified
XP-65DHD to our customers. The THX moniker
attests to the exacting performance of these
products and your ability to bring Hollywood
home without compromise.
The PlasmaWall®Series includes Runco’s®
DHD™ Controller with acclaimed VivixII®digital
video processing. This superior technology
includes 3D scan conversion with motion
compensation and 3:2 pulldown for excellent
video performance with both video-based and
film-based material.
All PlasmaWall Series models offer Runco’s
WideVision™ 16:9 native widescreen
aspect ratio, provided by state-of-the-art
Plasma display panels. Runco’s discrete
aspect ratio control includes the VirtualWide®
mode to fill the 16:9 screen with standard
4:3 images without loss of picture quality,
eliminating annoying black side bars and
displaying any source material in full,
widescreen glory.
The PlasmaWall Series products incorporate
the Imaging Science Foundation’s “ISF 3c”™
(Certified Calibration Configuration) setup and
calibration standards in the display’s GUI menus
to facilitate picture quality conforming to the
highest standards in the industry.

PLASMAWALL® PORTFOLIO HIGH DEFINITION PLASMA DISPLAYS
unco’s® PlasmaWall® portfolio of high definition, luxury flat panel display monitors, consists of six models offering the finest plasma picture quality available. This video portfolio
includes our flagship XP-103DHD, the world’s largest plasma at a staggering 103-inches!
The XP-103DHD boasts full 1080p resolution and is supplied with an external DHD™ Controller/Processor featuring our renowned Vivix II® video processing for stellar
performance and custom installation versatility. Included with all PlasmaWall monitors, the DHD provides two digital video inputs with HDCP compatibility and Runco’s
VirtualWide® to fill the 16:9 widescreen with standard 4:3 images. The home automation interface includes IR and RS-232 capabilities with discrete input selection, power
on/off, aspect ratio control and more.
The XP-50DHD and XP-65DHD also feature full 1920 x 1080 (1080p) resolution in screen sizes of 50-inches
and 65-inches diagonal. In addition, the XP-65DHD is THX Certified, the first plasma display to achieve this
prestigious benchmark, establishing a new standard in flat panel display picture quality and performance.
Image quality is elevated to the highest levels on every ‘XP’ model, boasting impressive brightness and contrast ratios,
deep black levels and the most accurate colorimetry yet available. Additional engineering enhancements include
sophisticated 16-bit digital video processing resulting in 4096 steps of graduation for seamless images, completely
void of the “solarization” and “stair stepping” characteristics previously plaguing digital flat panels.
The SP-42DHD, SP-50DHD and SP-60DHD are high definition displays in 42-inch, 50-inch and 60-inch
diagonal screen sizes respectively.
Like all PlasmaWall models, they’re engineered to the Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF) setup and calibration
standards and ISF controls are incorporated to help your custom installation specialist achieve the industry’s highest
standards in picture quality.
All models in the PlasmaWall portfolio are available with an optional tabletop stand (floor mount for
XP-103DHD) or wall mount for maximum placement versatility. At around 5 inches thin or less, wall mounting is
an attractive option for your PlasmaWall.
For our customers in high-altitude regions we also offer all models (except XP-103DHD) in “xa” versions (eg.
XP-65DHDxa) with industry-leading high-altitude capability to more than 9000 ft. MSL. They are identical in all
other respects, sharing features and specifications with their standard altitude counterparts.
RUNCO DHD VIDEO CONTROLLER
The PlasmaWall portfolio’s DHD controller/processor, included standard
with all Runco PlasmaWall displays, is engineered with advanced,
Vivix II™ digital video processing to produce stunning video imagery,
even elevating standard NTSC material to near high-definition levels.
Runco’s DHD provides for a pure digital signal path from input to
output and resides outboard of the plasma display chassis. This simplifies
installation by placing the DHD and its associated input connections
in the equipment rack. Only one digital signal cable is required to the
plasma monitor. PlasmaWall systems can also take full advantage of
Runco’s exclusive LiveLink® digital cable solution to preserve HD signal
quality and bandwidth over much longer runs than conventional digital
signal cables.

Specifications are subject to change without notice. Optional tabletop stand or wall mount available.
