The new FWD42V1 model supports SDTV and HDTV signals as well as DVI and RGB computer signals. Numerous input adapters are available to provide interoperability with a wide range of program sources. Added flexibility comes from the format-free layout. The unit can be mounted horizontally, fixed on an optional stand or to a wall, or hung from the ceiling. The connector panel is located on the lower back of the display providing easy, inconspicuous hookup. When used with the new optional speaker system (model SS-SP20B), the integrated digital amplifier delivers crisp audio reproduction. The unit's attractive appearance is topped off with the choice of a black- or silver-colored bezel.

Bright and Vivid Picture The Sony FWD42V1 offers unrivaled picture quality for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to plasma technology you can view images with amazing clarity, brightness, and contrast. The FWD42V1 can display up to 16.7 million colors and is one of the brightest displays. All this leads to a much more vivid television experience.
16:9 Wide Screen You no longer have to deal with cropped off images while watching some of your favorite movies. With its wide screen 16:9 aspect ratio you can now watch movies in their original format. In fact, the 16:9 aspect ratio is one of the most important aspects of the FWD42V1 since all future HDTV signals will be broadcast in this format.
Wide Viewing Angle The FWD42V1 offers a completely flat viewing surface with a 160 degree viewing angle. The expansive viewing angle means that you can watch your favorite programs from nearly anywhere in your living room without distortions common to rear-projection TV's or TFT monitors.
Cure for Sore Eyes Traditionally, video signals are transmitted using an interlacing format where two separate frames are transposed to create one single frame. This results in flicker that can lead to eye fatique and soreness. This flicker problem is eliminated with the progressive scanning process where video images are transmitted in one single complete frame. The FWD42V1 is compatible with all progressive scanning signals from high quality DVD players and HDTV decoders, and other high-end video equipment to produce brilliant flicker-free images.
PC Ready The FWD42V1 is PC ready. You now have the ability to use your plasma TV with any SXGA, XGA, SVGA, or VGA computer video signals*. With Sony's FWD42V1 you not only have a TV, but a 42" computer monitor as well.
Digital Television for Today and Tomorrow The Sony FWD42V1 allows you to enjoy your favorite TV programming today while being prepared for the future. The FWD42V1 is an HDTV monitor and can support both HDTV (1080i and 720p) and EDTV/SDTV (480p and 480i) input signals**. This allows you to enjoy the shows of today, with much better picture quality, and be prepared for the future of HDTV offerings.
