Notes

Despite being the 27" brother of the PVM-4300, this set lacks neither RGB input nor offers any native resolution support without processing. In other words, all signals are processed through a framebuffer and converted to 480p using frame-adaptive deinterlacing. This should incur lag in some way. It would seem this set was primarily geared toward home video enthusiasts, as for retro gaming the deinterlacing and lag would be detrimental to the experience.

This set uses the same exact case as the KV-2900 that would be released in 1990.

With the remote, you can toggle which kind of surround sound processing you prefer. You can also pause the video footage using the STILL button.
