NEC is a respected name in the business world for monitors and printers. The NEC 42VP4 42-inch plasma display is not sold directly in stores to consumers (though it can be found on the Internet); rather, it is sold in stores under names like Runco and Marantz. The model 42VP4 is a follow up to the MP3, making it NEC's fourth generation plasma television.. And it's a dandy. The differences between this unit and the earlier models are mainly in the contrast ratios and brightness and black levels. The images are also sharper than previous models. I really like the look of the sporty, solid bezel chassis of the unit. There is a wide horizontal frequency range for showing high definition signals from computer sources. It can be used as a presentation monitor and has the largest variety of inputs of any of the plasma TV's tested, including a DVI input for digital-only video signals. Basically it has any input you could want, even RCA-type jack component video input, as well as a BNC-type one. Unlike most manufacturers of plasma monitors, which use Fujitsu glass screens, NEC uses its own high contrast glass and puts a nice anti-reflective coating on it.

When you need to create a strong connection with your audience and share with them your brightest ideas, clarity of message becomes more important than ever. Communicating clearly and with emotion is essential to any successful presentation. And whether it's a multimedia presentation or a public display, NEC's newest line of PlasmaSync monitors will deliver your ideas with the impact and conviction that are sure to win over any audience.

Nec's plasmas are part of the next generation of plasma display optimized for multimedia presentations from NEC.

It boasts the industry's highest contrast levels in bright light. The picture clarity is enhanced with an industry leading 4096 shades of grey meaning your dark scenes will be clearer and incredibly less distorted.

This plasmas features a multi-screen display option that can be configured into a video wall format with 2x2 or 3x3 monitors.

Progressive Scanning Technology will smooth jagged lines and correct colour bleeds so you will view clear stable colour images. Another intuitive feature is the ability to select the ideal input resolution so that images are displayed without distrotion and text is easy to read.
