What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?

A plasma display panel is the latest display technology and the best way to achieve flat panel displays with excellent image quality and large screen sizes that are easily viewable. The PDP can be thought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and it can be also be viewed as a series of fluorescent lamps.

How does it work?

PDP is an array of cells, known as pixels, which are comprised of 3 sub pixels, corresponding to the colors red, green, and blue. Gas in a plasma state is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to produce colored light (red, green, or blue). These phos- phors are the same types used in Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) devices such as televisions and common computer monitors.

You get the rich, dynamic colors that you expect. Each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced electronics to produce over 16 million different colors. All of this means that you get perfect images that are easily viewable in a display that is less than 5 inches thick.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that the display is clear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room who can see the screen.

Wide Screen

The screen of the Plasma Display is so wide that your viewing experience is as if you are in a theater.

Multimedia

Connect your plasma display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and Internet browsing. The Picture-in-Picture feature allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.

Versatile

The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs will not fit.

The PDP Manufacturing Process: a few minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screen

The PDP (Plasma Display Panel), which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. A few cell defects will normally occur in the PDP manufacturing process. Several tiny, minute colored dots visible on the screen should be acceptable. This also occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products. The tiny dots appearing does not mean that this PDP is defec- tive. Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned. Our production technology mini- mizes these cell defects during the manufacture and operation of this product.

Cooling Fan Noise (DU-50PX10 only)

In the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the PDP is equipped with cooling fans to cool the Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur while the fans are operat- ing and cooling the PDP.

The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on the PDP's efficiency or reliability. The noise from these fans is normal during the operation of this product. We hope you understand that a certain level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and is not suffi- cient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned.

DU-50PX10, DU-42PX12X specifications

LG Electronics has always been at the forefront of television technology, and two remarkable models from their Plasma TV lineup, the DU-42PX12X and DU-50PX10, testify to this commitment to innovation and quality.

The DU-42PX12X is a 42-inch plasma television that delivers an immersive viewing experience with its stunning picture quality. Featuring a high resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, it provides exceptional clarity and color accuracy. The 16:9 aspect ratio ensures that viewers can enjoy widescreen movies and shows exactly as intended. One of the standout characteristics of the DU-42PX12X is its impressive contrast ratio, which enhances the depth of the images, making darker scenes more pronounced and vibrant.

In terms of audio, the DU-42PX12X is equipped with built-in speakers that produce a robust sound experience. The inclusion of virtual surround sound technology allows for a more immersive audio experience, making it ideal for movie nights or sports viewing.

On the other hand, the DU-50PX10, featuring a larger 50-inch display, elevates the viewing experience to a new level. Like its smaller counterpart, it offers a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, but the larger screen size brings viewers closer to an authentic cinema experience. Its enhanced brightness levels contribute to improved performance in well-lit rooms, ensuring vivid colors and sharp images regardless of ambient light conditions.

Both models incorporate LG's proprietary plasma technology, which utilizes phosphor technology to produce rich, saturated colors. This feature is complemented by a fast response time, minimizing motion blur during fast-paced action scenes such as sports or action films.

Connectivity options on both televisions are versatile, featuring multiple HDMI and component inputs. This allows users to connect a variety of devices, from gaming consoles to Blu-ray players, enhancing the overall versatility of the televisions.

In conclusion, the LG Electronics DU-42PX12X and DU-50PX10 plasma TVs embody excellence in technology and design. With high-resolution displays, impressive audio capabilities, and user-friendly connectivity options, they remain commendable choices for anyone looking to enhance their home entertainment experience. These models reflect LG's dedication to providing top-tier televisions that cater to a wide range of viewing preferences.
