Contrast measurements for the real world. 

To date, the plasma display market has not followed a consistent standard to
determine contrast ratio with most measurements taken in unrealistically dark
viewing conditions. 

NEC takes pride in its contrast measurements, which reflect true-to-life viewing
conditions typically found in environments that would incorporate a plasma display,
such as an office, school, airport, shopping mall or home. By providing plasma
displays that are optimized for “real world” conditions, users are assured more
accurate image depth and detail that is real and not washed out. 

NEC is setting the standard for high contrast in real world applications. This standard
is validated by the PlasmaSync 61XM2’s Five-Star DisplayMate Best Video Hardware
Award. According to Dr. Raymond Soneira, President of DisplayMate Technologies,
“The NEC 61XM2 Plasma monitor delivered impressive image and picture quality for
both computer and video applications. Performance in both the laboratory tests and
viewing tests was outstanding. The colors were bright, saturated and an excellent
match to our professional studio reference monitor.”
