From the Fujitsu web site: PDS-5002 High Resolution Accepting the input from virtually any video source, the PDS-5002 is the perfect Convergent Visual Medium for numerous applications. It can display images in true 1080i and 720p HDTV as well as 480i and 480p SDTV signals, with its 1366 x 768 high-resolution pixel array. The PDS-5002 can also display the video output from a computer up to UXGA resolution, to display computer graphics with extraordinary clarity and color definition. Incredible High Brightness The Fujitsu PDS-5002 Plasmavision SlimScreen® monitor is truly the ultimate 50-inch plasma display. With an amazing contrast ratio of 500:1 and brightness of 500 cd/m², the PDS-5002 can be used in a variety of applications, regardless of room brightness. Just 3.8 inches thin and weighing a mere 99 pounds, the PDS-5002 removes virtually all installation and aesthetic barriers from visual display sources. AVM (Advanced Video Movement) Digital Video Processor The PDS-5002 incorporates a host of additional image-enhancing technologies for unsurpassed image quality. Built with Fujitsu's AVM advanced digital video signal processor, it virtually eliminates motion artifacts and flicker, improves vertical resolution and reproduces natural movement with ease. The processor's built-in line doubler converts NTSC signals and uses different types of processing for moving and still pictures, yielding smoother images with more natural movement and without visible scan lines. High Definition Television (HDTV) and DVD signals are enhanced by the processor to achieve the optimum image for the plasma display. Complete Convergence The PDS-5002 features an expanded complement of inputs including component video, S-video, composite video, analog RGB and an RS-232 control port. The PDS-5002 provides a greater range of picture adjustments, accessible via its easy to use on-screen menu and supplied remote control. The PDS-5002 offers installation flexibility in a wide variety of applications. I take a clue from "Accepting the input from virtually any video source,..." and from the fact that no digital inputs are listed at the bottom. This implies the display can accept analog video, but likely can't accept digital. So DVI probably won't work without conversion to analog video. I guess this may be why even the UXGA screens on PCs aren't as sharp as they could be. In any event, the PDS-5002 looks like a nice screen.
