LCD TV

The LC3050 is a high-performance TV with a 30-inch (diagonal) LCD display and built-in TV tuner.

Measuring less then 100 mm (less than 4 inches) deep, the attractive black and silver set is perfect for either wall mounting or placement on a table using the matching stand supplied with it.

To optimize viewing pleasure, the high resolution LC3050 includes a host of image enhancement features like Digital Colour Transient Improvement (DCTI) for minimized colour smear, Digital Luminance Transient Improvement (DLTI) producing a sharp and accurate image, and Black Level Expansion for richer and deeper black tones. Its high quality deinterlacing circuit reduces motion artefacts to a minimum. The LC3050's widescreen liquid crystal display (LCD) delivers enough light output with high contrast for a clear image under any lighting conditions, while built-in stereo speakers and five user-selectable sound and video modes complete the AV experience. The TV comes complete with a classy, user-friendly designed aluminium remote control which makes the operation the use of this stylish product even more enjoyable and intuitive.

Top quality plasma display

Marantz' latest plasma monitor is a seamless blend of cutting-edge visual technology and sophisticated design. With a 16:9 aspect ratio, a crystal clear image accuracy and faithful reproduction, this Plasma monitor certainly makes a big impression. However, the monitor's sleek techno-art lines blend in well with your environment. For film and concert enthusiasts with a separate high quality AV surround sound system, the big 42-inch PD4220V multimedia display is a perfect solution for videophile picture enjoyment. Using the latest-generation plasma technology to produce a high contrast image (1500:1), its performance is enhanced with DCTI, DLTI and Black Level Expansion. Other features include Advanced Mass Area Sampling, which widens the sampling area horizontally and vertically, to straighten diagonal lines and reproduce curved lines more smoothly, for a clear and precise image. Built in powerfull stereo audio amplifiers can drive external speaker(s) of your choice. Finished in a subtle gunmetal grey colour, it can be wall mounted or positioned on a table. A wall bracket and matching table stand are available separately. The PD4220 features a video wall option of either 4 or 9 displays.

Marantz' Plasma monitor's crisp, vivid image quality will transform data from any graphic medium from PCs to DVD players into art. The monitor's flicker- and warp-free display provides excellent image geometry right into the corners and is unaffected by magnetic fields. It is suitable for use with PCs, VCRs and DVD players, and compatible with VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA and UXGA computer signals, and NTSC, PAL, SECAM video signals. The broad variety of inputs make it a very flexible multi source compatible display and includes among others DVi, RGBhv (BNC), and component video inputs. AccuBlend scan conversion automatically converts all signals to the panel's native resolution. With its Digital Zoom the PD4220 allows you to select a portion of the screen and magnify it up to nine times to highlight information or emphasize a point.. Marantz has made sure that a host of multimedia resources can easily be connected and displayed, as brilliantly as intended, on the plasma monitor.
