LG showcased its broad line of LCD and Plasma TVs at the Hospitality Design Expo 2008 in Las Vegas.

LG’s first Full HD TV ‘42LB5DC’ designed with the hospitality industry in mind, employs MPEG-4 H.264 decoding technology to create an entertainment environment.

This technology delivers entertainment quality and flexibility to guests at hotels where HD programming is available. The model is also equipped with Pro Idiom Digital Rights Management System, which unlocks access to premium content and provides rapid and broad deployment of HDTV and other high-value digital content. Additional features include built-in pay-per-view capabilities and In Plane Switching, which automatically reduces the distortion and blurring.

The 50PY3D LG plasma flat panel offers 50 inches of full 1080p high definition. You can watch your favorite programs in HD with the deep blacks and vibrant colors that plasma televisions are known for. The native 1920 x 1080p resolution on the 50PY3D provides the most detailed resolution currently possible. Three HDMI connections mean you can hook up to your high-tech components and enjoy HD audio and video through a single cable. LG’s proprietary features like the XD Engine, SimpLink, and image sticking minimization make life with this 50″ plasma screen even better.

Six distinct processes contribute to picture improvement. But whats important to know is that LG’s XD Engine takes the low resolution of analog signals to near HD levels by improving brightness, contrast, and detail. It also reduces signal noise, which is a common trouble-maker for image quality. Since this technology attacks both aspects of analog signal issues, the overall result is cinema-like high resolution images on your 1920 x 1080p plasma screen.

The 50PY3D already provides the convenience and future proofing of HDMI. It also adds LG SimpLink technology so all your LG products can work together that much more easily. SimpLink allows for convenient control of other LG SimpLink products using the existing HDMI connection. So your LG television can talk to your LG Blu-ray Disc player with minimal involvement from you.
