FAIRFIELD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2003--

    -- New Model P42VHA20 Continues Fujitsu's Commitment To
    Plasmavision Display Monitor Quality and Reliability --

    Fujitsu, the leader in plasma display technology, announced it is offering its exclusive three-year limited warranty for the company's newly released 42-inch P42VHA20 Plasmavision SlimScreen(R) plasma monitor.
    The warranty is the most comprehensive available from any plasma display manufacturer, and extends the company's coverage to include its complete consumer lineup of Plasmavision display monitors.
    The Fujitsu P42VHA20 Plasmavision monitor carries a three-year warranty covering parts and labor for components excluding the plasma display panel, which is covered by a one-year warranty and includes in-home service at no extra charge.
    Tedd Rozylowicz, Fujitsu General Senior Vice President, noted: "Fujitsu continues to be recognized as the leading innovator in plasma display technology, and stands behind its design excellence with the most comprehensive plasma display warranty of any manufacturer. By expanding our coverage to include our new P42VHA20, Fujitsu is able to offer unprecedented quality and value to consumers in a 42-inch VGA monitor, while extending the industry's best warranty coverage to encompass a complete line of Plasmavision display solutions."
    In addition, Rozylowicz pointed out: "It must be emphasized that the warranty specifically excludes Plasmavision displays purchased through on-line retailers and resellers--Fujitsu does not authorize Plasmavision sales over the Internet. We want to assure that anyone who purchases a Fujitsu Plasmavision monitor gets the full benefits of their purchase. The only way customers can have this assurance of full warranty protection and unmatched performance is if they purchase a Plasmavision monitor from an authorized dealer."

    The P42VHA20: Performance, Value and Style

    Incorporating a wealth of Fujitsu's latest technologies, the new, redesigned P42VHA20 plasma display features improved picture quality from previous models, along with an expanded feature set including a DVI-D digital input with HDCP.
    The Fujitsu Plasmavision SlimScreen P42VHA20 is engineered for superior image quality, operational flexibility and reliability. It features an advanced-technology 852 x 480 pixel panel that yields a high 700 cd/m2 brightness and remarkable 3000:1 contrast ratio, for highly accurate color and grayscale reproduction and vivid picture quality.
    The P42VHA20 can display the output from virtually any video source, and is compatible with HDTV and DTV signals as well as the video output from a computer. Like all Fujitsu Plasmavision models, it features the company's exclusive AVM (Advanced Video Movement) digital video processor that virtually eliminates motion artifacts; the AVM also incorporates a built-in line doubler, to assure the best-possible picture performance from any video source.
    Offering total Convergent Visual Medium display versatility, the P42VHA20 provides an extensive complement of connection options including two component video inputs and a DVI-D digital video input with HDCP, for best-quality reception of all digital television signals including copy-protected broadcasts. The monitor provides a wide range of performance, convenience and picture adjustment features, and is FCC Class B certified for residential use.
    The current generation of Fujitsu Plasmavision monitors are designed to provide the quietest operation yet achieved. The chassis design of the P42VHA20 incorporates features that significantly reduce operating temperatures, such as the company's exclusive HIC (High Integrated Circuit) technology that utilizes a single integrated circuit to minimize heat generation, and improved chassis ventilation. These design upgrades and other refinements eliminate the need for an internal fan, yielding ultra-quiet operation while maintaining product reliability.
    In common with Fujitsu's latest Plasmavision monitors, the P42VHA20 is newly restyled for a more refined appearance, with a slim-design, light metallic silver chassis that complements the most elegant decors and home entertainment systems.
    The Fujitsu Plasmavision SlimScreen P42VHA20 carries a suggested retail price of $4,999 and is currently available.
