pioneer plasma displays pdp-4340hd 43" Silver-Black Plasma HDTV

Description       Pioneer Plasma Displays Ultra-High-Definition Plasma With TV Tuner "Best TV Quality" winner. Nobody can touch the 43” PDP-4340HD widescreen high-definition plasma TV from Pioneer. This display is so visually stunning that you’ll wonder how it’s possible. Well, please...keep reading. It's an interesting advancement in TV technology. The PDP-4340HD comes fully loaded: its outboard media receiver is equipped with an ATSC terrestrial HDTV tuner and a full set of interfaces, including a next-generation High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). This all-digital, high-bandwidth consumer interface can transfer huge amounts of pure, digital data at very high rates of speed. Two-way stereo speakers and a swivel stand are also included. Pure Drive—100% Digital All The Way Other plasma panels perform multiple conversions from analog to digital, then back and forth before the image finally emerges onto the screen. These conversions add video noise and degrade the image. Pioneer PureVision plasmas use Pure Drive, an innovative new technology that maintains a digital path throughout signal processing. This streamlined Pure Drive process provides an optimal picture with virtually no video noise or loss of quality. Most plasma panels show messy, distracting lines of dots on faces and other contoured objects. This effect, referred to as "dot-crawl," can be avoided by keeping Y signals (brightness) and C signals (color) apart. Pioneer's 10-Bit 3D Y/C Separator gives greater detail to the video information and provides more power to keep the Ys separate from the Cs, clearing up dot-crawl. Pioneer Versatile Media Receiver—Intuitive Your Pioneer PDP includes a powerful Media Receiver that incorporates a terrestrial digital TV tuner and features three sets of component inputs. Intuitive and easy-to-use, it's also conveniently compact and can be installed vertically or horizontally according to your tastes and setup.

But if a movie was shown on TV in its original, 24-frames-per-second (fps) format, the action would appear to stutter and the film would be virtually un-watchable. To correct this problem, broadcasters use a process called "3:2 pulldown with progressive scan," adding six frames to the film's original 24 so that it can work within the NTSC standard, which is 30 fps. Unfortunately, this technique still leaves some distracting side effects like jerky, uneven motion—especially in fast-moving scenes. Other plasma displays employ some complicated math to try to work around this problem—usually without complete success. Pioneer offers a simpler, more elegant solution called Advanced PureCinema 3:3 Pulldown, which greatly improves the look of film. No one else has been able to accomplish 3:3 Pulldown in a plasma panel—and it shows. Your PureVision plasma has the technology inside to speed up the TV's refresh rate to 72 fps. With that kind of speed, all we have to do is multiply the original frame three times and voila, time misalignments are smoothed over and you see silky, natural motion—just like the director intended. Speakers That Move Pioneer offers flexible mounting systems for PureVision's compact, detachable speakers, so you can fit the panel into your space. On Pioneer models, you can choose to place them on the side and recessed, or underneath the PDP. Elite models offer flush or recessed side mounting. They're so sleek and stylish, you might want to trade off locations from time to time just to keep things interesting.

Pioneer's improved technology brings the benefit of 10-bit signal processing to produce smooth, accurate low intensity images. In fact, gradiation reproduction in this range is about 16 times better than other PDPs. Even with dark images, detailed patterns are faithfully reproduced. Pure Color Filter Improves Contrast This display uses a new Pure Color Filter that greatly decreases external light reflectivity (as much as 30%, depending on conditions). The result is significantly higher contrast, providing an extremely clear display in bright environments. At the same time, it optimizes the components of the red, green and blue light by filtering out undesirable colors to display greatly improved image reproduction. True Matrix Imaging With Deep Encased Cell Structure Rather then the rows of cells commonly used in other PDPs, Pioneer has developed an Encased Cell Structure that increases phophor areas by as much as 40% and eliminates light leakage from neighboring cells for a brighter, clearer picture. For the PDP-4340HD, we've further improved this technology by making each indivisual cell deaper. This results in higher light emission efficiency - 60% higher then our previous model. Anywhere, Anytime The brightest panels stand out in the electronics showroom, but investigate what's behind the brightness before you buy. While some manufacturers artificially crank up their settings, Pioneer uses technology that will maintain brightness where it counts: in your home. Imagine trying to paint a beautiful scene using a thick paint roller. That's the imprecise effect you can see when other panels lay their phosphor cells out in rows. The light spills over and you get a sloppy, heavy-handed look. Pioneer PureVision plasmas use Deep Encased Cell Structure like the fine tip of an artist's brush to paint an unbelievably precise, stunningly accurate picture that's "bright" where you want it.   Specifications   Display Area   43"   Aspect Ratio   16:9   Resolution   1024 x 768 Additional Specifications Full High Definition Resolution: XGA Resolution (1024 x 768p) 16:9 Aspect Ratio: Yes Advanced PureCinema: With 3:3 Pull Down Converts All Signals to 768P First Plasma Capable of 72 Hz Display ACE II (Advanced Continuous Emission II): True 10-bit Gray Scale/1024 Levels Ability to Display Over 1 Billion Colors PureDrive: All Video Signals Processed in the 10-bit Digital Realm Only One A/D Conversion - No Other Unnecessary D/A or A/D Conversions Pure Color Filter: More Accurate Color Than Any CRT Ultra Bright: 1,100 Cd/m2 Deep Encased Cell Structure: Yes Adjustable Color Temperature: 3 Settings w/ 6500 Degrees Multi Picture Window: P-I-P Or Split Screen With Any Source (NTSC, HD, PC) HDMI Connections: Yes IEEE-1394 Digital Interface: Yes Component RGB w/BNC Connectors: Yes Integrated ATSC Tuner: Yes 3 Dimensional Y/C Separation: Yes Energy Star Compliant: Yes Antenna Input: VHF x 3 (75 ohms Unbalanced F connector) Antenna Output: VHF x 2 (75 ohms Unbalanced F connector) A/V Input (Front): x 1 (RCA Pin) A/V Input (Rear): x 3 (RCA Pin) S-Video Input (Front): x 1 S-Video Input (Rear): x 2 S-Video Output (Rear): x 1 Component Input (Front): x 1 Component Input (Rear): x 2 D - Sub 15 Input (Front): x 1 (For PC Input) Digital Audio Output (Rear): Yes (Optical) iLink: 2 Terminals HDMI Input: 2 (with HDCP) SR In/Output: Yes (Out = SR+) Dimensions: (W-H-D) 44-1/8" x 25-11/16" x 3-7/8" Display Weight: 67lbs. 4oz.   WHAT'S IN THE BOX 43" Widescreen Plasma TV 77" AC power cord 3 Speed clamps 3 Bead bands Cleaning cloth 3 Speaker cushions Warranty card Caution sheet about screen care PDP-R04U Media receiver Wireless remote control (AXD1478) 2 "AA" batteries Vertical stand 4 Screws (for attaching stand) 77' AC power cord 9.5' System cable VCR controller with attached 70" cable (with 1/8" miniplug on the end) 6" RF Coaxial cable (installed on media receiver) Operating Instructions (English/French/Spanish) On-line registration card "About HDMI" booklet Basic Operation and Troubleshooting booklet Left speaker Right speaker 4 Speaker side mounting fittings (2 for each side of the display) 2 Speaker bottom mounting fittings (one for each side of the display) Speaker bottom mounting fitting (for center) 2 Rivets (for mounting speakers on the bottom of the display) Two 37" lengths of speaker wire (each has tinned bare wire on both ends) 12 Speaker mounting screws (M5 x 10mm) Speakers Operating Instructions Stand Base 2 Short support columns 2 Long support columns 2 Spacers 2 Cable binders 2 M8 x 20 silver installation bolts 2 M8 x 30 black installation bolts 2 M8 x 40 black installation bolts Hex wrench (5mm) Stand Operating Instructions Details SKU: pioneer-plasma-pdp4340hd Display Type/Output: HDTV Diagonal Screen Size: 43" Max Resolution: 1024 x 768 Brightness: 1,100 cd/m2 ultrabright Buy in USA: click here to buy it online for $3299.99US Buy in Canada: click here to buy it online for $4454.99CAD STATUS: E Weight: 67.00 lbs Price: $ 3,299.99   Quantity     Add to Cart
