Features and Functions of the PDP-501MX Plasma Display
• High-definition XGA wide panel
The Display uses a high-definition XGA wide panel, which provides 1280 x 768 resolution with more than 980.000
pixels. This resolution is more than 2.5 times higher than that of conventional panels, and enables multimedia
information to be reproduced more vividly and accurately than ever before.
• Clear, high-quality image
Provides 8-bit RGB in 256 gradations/16.77 million colors. A new exclusive technology developed by Pioneer eliminates
the pseudo-contour anomaly, that is typically observed in plasma displays.
• Unrivalled brightness
A brightness of 350 cd/m2 (white peak, for panel unit), which is the highest so far for XGA panels, has been achieved by
maximizing light-emitting efficiency.
• Flat, lightweight design
The Pioneer plasma display monitor is also unrivalled in compactness: the 50-inch screen is only 98 mm in depth, and
weighs only 43.0 kg. It can therefore be mounted at locations where conventional displays are difficult to install.

SXGA (1280 x 1024 resolution) mode also accommodates PC signals, although a summary replay approach is employed
in this mode. The use of a dedicated video card also allowed access to a display of 1280 x 768 resolution, as well. This
