LG launch award winning screens
18/05/06
LG Electronics (LG) one of the world’s top plasma manufacturers introduces two new screens to its innovative plasma line-up. The PY2R series, available in 50 and 60 inch plasma screens, has already been making waves in the design world, prior to its launch, with awards from iF Design[i] and Red Dot[ii]. The 42PC1D is the perfect choice for consumers who want a high end package at an affordable price with a superb picture quality, first class design and a simple user interface.
For premium picture performance, LG is the number one choice for consumers worldwide, as both the PY2R series and 42PC1D feature the company’s exclusive XD Engine technology. The second generation XD Engine chip built into the units takes low or standard resolution signals to near high-definition levels by improving brightness, contrast, detail and enhancing colour, as well as reducing signal noise. This total solution results in cinema quality images in the home without producing blurring or ghosting in fast moving scenes. As standard both screens are also HD Ready so the viewer will be well prepared for the UK launch of HD broadcasts later this year.
In addition, the 42PC1D not only boasts realistic picture quality, but has a stylish black and silver exterior, Dolby Digital Decoder and surround sound system. Other features which make it stand out from the competition include LG’s ‘Clear Filter’ which replaces the traditional thick glass filter with single thin film filter, eliminating reflection, glare, double imaging and dramatically reduces the weight of the screens, making them prefect for wall-mounting or placement in any other setting. The screens are also equipped with a HD Ready XGA progressive panel (1024x768) and can enable easy connection to either an HD set top box or Blue-ray/HD-DVD players via the double HDMI connection, meaning the consumer can enjoy the best picture and sound quality using only a single cable.
For the style concisous everywhere the PY2R series is the number one choice, having already won two prestigious Europe-wide design awards, demonstrating LG’s commitment to aesthetic excellence. The state-of-the-art PY2R series is the definition of “designer TV”, with its space-age glossy design and sleek, slim contours which cleverly hide the powerful speakers. The range is also supremely practical, as it is easily wall-mounted or can be kept on its swivel stand allowing for easy movement and viewing.
James Atkins, Marketing Manager from LG, comments; “The introduction of the PC1 and PY2R series builds on LG’s existing range of excellent plasma screens giving the consumer both fantastic design and innovative technology.”
The PY2R series is available now and the 42PC1D will be available from May nationwide.
LG Announces a Stylish New Addition to its LCD Range
The LC2D series combines impeccable design with flawless functionality
LG Electronics (LG), the world’s largest producer of large-screen LCDs, introduces the latest edition to its LCD television range with the LC2D series that combines LG’s premium picture quality with a stylish new design and extensive functionality.
The LC2D Series includes 47, 37 and 32-inch models and incorporates a speaker built into the lower edge of the screen and a wave design in a silver finish, giving the screens a curvaceous and slinky new look.
With its stunning design and a range of sizes to suit any room, from loft apartment to city studio, the LC2D series will be the LCD of choice for those who appreciate excellent audio and visual quality as well as good looks. The series boasts LG’s Eye Intelligence technology, which senses the amount of ambient light in the room and automatically adjusts the screens contrast, brightness and sharpness to ensure the best viewing experience whatever the light conditions or position of the screen – a must for watching any of the brilliant sporting action over the coming summer season. The LC2D series also includes LG’s exclusive new XD-Engine processing system, which takes low or standard resolution signals to near high-definition levels by improving brightness, contrast, detail and enhancing colour as well as reducing signal noise therefore giving crisp images and rich, vibrant colours.
Consumers that love to watch sport will be equally pleased to find out that the LC2D is fully HD Ready, giving them the opportunity to be able to watch this summer’s World Cup in full HD glory. Matches viewed in HD improve the level of detail of the picture and the sound quality making the fan feel like they have been taken from their living room and transported to a World Cup stadium where they will be able to see each blade of grass of the turf and hear the roar of the crowd.
James Atkins, Marketing Manager from LG, comments; “The LC2D is everything a consumer could want in an LCD TV; it delivers a clear, crisp picture housed in a stylishly designed set.”
The LC2D Series will be available in May from retailers nationwide.
