Multiple Inputs and a High Performance Scan Converter
With input connectors for composite, S-video (Y/C), RGB/component signals, you can display your visuals from a wide variety of signal sources, ranging from standard video to HDTV, DTV and computer signals up to UXGA*.

Brilliant Picture Quality
The PFM-42B1 uses a high resolution flat panel with 1024 x 1024 pixels. Achieving excellent brightness and contrast, it produces sharp, detailed images with rich and natural colors. With the Sony original I/P (Interlace/Progressive) conversion technology you will see precise and smooth images throughout the screen, and the anti-reflection coating on the glass panel reduces light reflection for clear, high contrast pictures.
