Pioneer Expands Industrial Display Offerings with 61-INCH Plasma

Following its aggressive strategy in the plasma display industry, Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. today introduced the PDP-614MX, a 61-inch true progressive WXGA PureVision plasma display.

This high definition plasma display offers a resolution of 1365 X 768, and can accurately display personal computer signals ranging from VGA to UXGA, making it an excellent choice for system integrators and business users. The Pioneer professional plasma display combines a large 61-inch screen within a lightweight (135 pounds), ultra slim chassis (less than five inches) to meet the visual presentation demands of the 21st century.

The PDP-614MX has a wide viewing angle both horizontally and vertically with no flicker or distortion. This display meets the growing demands of a range of professional and business applications, including digital signage for airports, retail facilities, public events and in meeting rooms.

“The PDP-614MX fills an important place in the public display market, filling out the professional family of plasma displays along with Pioneer’s 43-inch and 50-inch plasmas,” said Russ Johnston, senior vice president of marketing for the home entertainment division of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. “This is one in a long line of steps that positions Pioneer as the world’s leading plasma display manufacturer. We will continue to expand our production capacity and our breadth of product line to meet the growing needs of the industrial plasma marketplace.”

The Pioneer PDP-614MX will be available October 2004.
