The Pioneer PDP-4280HD is a 42" plasma monitor capable of delivering outstanding image quality. The display is equipped with features that increase its ability to display true blacks, which results in brighter images with superior contrast ratios. Most notable is the ability to perform 3:3 pull down (instead of the common 3:2), which results in much crisper imagery when displaying 24 frames per second (fps) images, such as signals from film-native DVDs.

"This TV has a great feature set and a super picture. This television up-converts or down-converts the signal to it's native resolution (720p). It will accept 1080p, the picture will amaze you. Great TV and ABT has a good price point and excellent service. "
