Easy to install on a wall or ceiling for easy viewing from anywhere in the room, the CMP5000WXU delivers a wide, crystal-clear picture that's guaranteed to attract the attention you want.

High-Definition Wide 16:9 screen - At 1,280 x 768 pixels the CMP5000WXU is compatible with video data sources from PC's. With the Optional Video Board (PDA-5002) the CMP5000WXU comes alive and produces stunning video images from sources such as DVD's, Satellite Receivers, and HDTV receivers. The CMP5000WXU display is the ideal display solution for any corporate and home theater application from trade shows, exhibits and presentations to HDTV viewing.

Slim, space-saving design (Depth: only 3.84") - One of the most attractive features of the display is its extraordinary slim design. Featuring a large 50-inch screen, this ultra-thin, lightweight display measures a mere 3.84" from front to back and weighs only 85.8 lbs. So you can hang it on the wall or suspend it from the ceiling and enjoy the excitement of big-screen viewing even in rooms where a bulky display could never fit.

Multiscanning capability assures compatibility with a variety of computer systems - Ready for use with a wide range of personal computers, the CMP5000WXU can display images in VGA, S-VGA, XGA, SXGA or UXGA resolution and is compatible with a wide range of different computer scanning frequencies. The accompanying table shown below lists compatible frequencies, signals, and resolutions.

Wider 160° viewing angle assures clear images from any viewing position - With its totally flat screen, the plasma display produces no distortion at corners and edges, so the picture is as clear and easy to see from viewing angles as wide as 160° in both horizontal and vertical directions. Since the picture can be seen clearly from up, down, left, or right, the CMP5000WXU's is ideal for conferences, presentations, or home theaters.
