All Fujitsu monitors are slim-profile designs measuring just a few inches in depth, facilitating wall-, ceiling- or stand-mounting in custom installation home theater systems, with a chassis design that enables all connecting cables to be easily and invisibly installed. Their elegant appearance, featuring a front bezel with crisp, defined angles and a rich metallic silver finish, complements every home entertainment system and living environment.

Plasmavision monitors also include a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), enabling access to true high-definition audio/video content, plus an RS-232 control port for integrated system operation. New Plasmavision monitors also feature built-in stereo audio amplifiers to facilitate their use in stand-alone multimedia or home entertainment applications, using optional available speakers.
