PURE BLACK PANEL Achieves the dual goals of higher brightness and greater contrast. PDP image quality takes another impressive step forward with Pioneer's new Pure Black Panel. In addition to our exclusive Deep Encased Cell Structure, it uses another breakthrough technology called Crystal Emissive Layer to achieve luminous efficiency that is much higher than the previous model. The result is unprecedented high brightness of 1,400cd/m 2 (peak/panel) and greatly improved dark-area contrast. Blacks are blacker, while light areas maintain their true brightness values. Bright-area contrast is also significantly higher, meaning that the PDP-425CMX will provide conspicuous, effective displays in bright places such as shopping malls, event venues and showrooms.

High efficiency and the best possible picture quality have been achieved by mounting the color management, scaling, GUI mix and other image processing technologies on a single chip that we developed exclusively for our professional monitors. Scaling performance, a vital factor for professional monitors, has been improved to ensure that even high resolution signals are reproduced with minimal data loss. In addition, ACE IV technology enables the panel to accurately reproduce high level gray scale for each color. The panel instantly identifies the type of image being shown (fast- vs. slow-motion scenes, dark vs. light scenes) and dynamically optimizes the distribution of color gradation. New ACE IV (Advanced Continuous Emission IV) Brightness level Superior scaling performance Even when the image is expanded by video wall or point zoom functions, the PDP-425CMX displays detailed information with extreme clarity.
