The Korean company LG is one of the world's most important manufacturers of various display solutions, including here plasma panels and LCDs. And since the competition on this market is quite a tough one, with each major player constantly trying to improve its products and enhance their features, the people over at LG have come up with an impressive new development of their own, namely the "G Platform" plasma panels, which touts some pretty impressive features.

According to the company's statement, the new HD and Full HD plasma TV panels feature a 30,000:1 contrast ratio, which is twice the highest current existing ratio of 15,000:1. G Platform panels are capable of reproducing at a very good quality true colors across the entire spectrum, including even deep blacks with a 20 percent reduced reflection rate. In contrast to existing black panels, which are able to improve colors on the screen only by using clear black-colored panels, LG has improved color reproduction by optimizing the panels' color phosphors and utilizing dielectrics.

As the company informs us, LG worked to ensure that TVs made with these panels are ergonomically-conscious products that maximize eye comfort. The G Platform helps avoid eyestrain and viewing fatigue by eliminating contour noise and optimizing brightness and contrast ratio in the actual viewing environment. Furthermore, these panels also generate a very low level of sound, ensuring the fact that viewers enjoy a very pleasurable cinematographic experience, without any background noise.

The G Platform panels will be available in LG's plasma TVs beginning in the 4th quarter, 2007. The new panels will come in 32-, 42- and 50-inch HD models as well as 50- and 60-inch full HD models. All of these HD models as well as the 50-inch full HD model include single-scan technology and also feature a 100 Hz refresh rate.

"Our G Platform panel delivers top image quality at an economical price using LG's advanced technology," said Christopher Kim, vice president and head of PDP Module Marketing Team, LG Electronics, "Special image processing technology doubles the standard 50 Hz refresh rate to 100 Hz, eliminating annoying motion blur or flicker. These panels will deliver the clearest picture with the least noise to viewers in PAL markets across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa."
