SONY PLASMA PFM 50C1
Before discussing the pros and cons of PFM 50C1, let’s not forget the fact that Sony Electronics was one of the first company to introduce plasma. But Sony's involvement in producing 50-inch market plasma was much later to the surprise of experts. PF 50C1 features a display that looks similar to many other brands' plasma. However Sony promises to be different in their quality and other structures.
This model gives the consumers, a flexibility of vertical and horizontal viewing called as 'layout-free' design. Offering an outstanding picture quality, PFM 50C1 has looks similar to that of PFM 42B1 by using thin silver bezel. For family who doesn't prefer to mount their TV in wall can use the optional stand. This clever design has invited a lot of positive reviews about it. The VGA-style connectors used for both video and computer signals are a major advantage of this system. In order to make the connector options simple, it replaced a lot of input and signal loop jacks with a pair of 15-pin VGA connectors, used for both component video and computer signals. BNC and S-video jacks are supplied by a single BKM B10 plug-in card. However the major drawback of connector is that you will need a proper break-out cable, 15-pin on one end.
As far as the display is concerned, the monitor measures 49.2 by 29.8 by 3.9 inches and weighs about 95 lbs. The stereo amplifiers are new to Sony as it was not found in other recently released models of Sony. But if you want a surround-sound system, the 7W stereo on-board amp can be used, of course with external user provided speakers. This model has screen-saver function and picture zoom feature too.
With the intention of delivering a new range of plasma, the changes are effected in the way the menu is displayed too. There are two image modes and three user settings. The user settings are made customizable that the user can name and save their blue, red and green settings. Changes like colour adjustments which require the users to go into the menu has been revolutionized and altered completely in this model. The menu options also include Cinema Drive and Dynamic Picture. Dyna
The remote control is integrated with lot of other options than just changing channels. User will no longer have to fiddle with the menu system, not knowing what changes are exactly made. There are direct access to brightness, contrast, chrome level adjustments and many others.
The display feature of this model is not very satisfying. Blacks and whites are easily over-ridden and hence its brightness may drop from the factory default settings. But in spite of the disadvantages, Sony has managed to make the picture cleaner and more accurate with contrast and gray-scale tracking technology. It’s an ideal for use in audio/visual presentations, point of purchase advertising in malls, video monitors and themed entertainment venues.
