This 42” Plasma Display Monitor Delivers Incredibly Smooth, High-Definition
Image Quality for an Exceptional Home Theater Viewing Experience.
ALIS Method Panel
This plasma display panel uses an
advanced ALIS (Alternate Lighting of
Surface) Method to deliver a sharp, clear
picture with the smooth, high-definition
quality you see in a movie theater. The
PDM-4210 uses the latest ALIS Method
technology, which features new plasma
gas and luminescent material. The result
is a brighter picture (1,100 cd/m
2
) and
higher color temperature, which makes
white areas stand out more vividly. The
panel can also display a wider range of
colors (16.7 million), with enhanced
color purity.
Natural Black Drive System
Yamaha’s Natural Black Drive System
automatically determines the brightness
of the screen and applies the gray scale
(contrast) best suited to the scene in
order to reproduce both bright and dark
areas with small details clearly visible.
Contrast ratio is an outstanding
1,000:1.
HDTV Capability
The PDM-4210 is fully HDTV capable,
meaning that 1080i high definition
images can be displayed line for line
without vertical scaling. Other signals,
such as 720p HDTV signals and
conventional broadcasts, are converted
up to 1080 progressive lines by a 1080p
processor, for much higher image
quality than with conventional displays.
Digital Linear Color Control
Digital Linear Color Control continually
maintains the ideal balance between the
three main colors (red, green, blue) for
optimum color reproduction in every
scene from very dark to very bright.
Long Life of 60,000 Hours
Another benefit of the new ALIS
Method panel is lower power
consumption and longer panel life. The
PDM-4210 will provide high quality
The PDM-4210 rear panel offers digital input (RGB 1),
analog input (RGB 2), analog audio input (RGB 1 and
RGB 2: 3.4mm stereo mini jack), and RS-232C interface.

True HDTV Picture Quality
1080i is the HD broadcasting standard. However, it uses
overscanning, so the actual screen is 95%, or 1024 lines.
Therefore, the ALIS Method panel, with 1024 pixels,
reproduces the true image, without noise at the edges.
