LG’s new plasma series, the PT85 Series will enter the market shortly and be available in 42-inch and 50-inch sizes. While the smaller 42-inch plasma set will have a 1024×768 pixel resolution, the larger 50-inch screen will have a higher 1366×768 pixel resolution. Both of the LG PT85 series sets offer improved brightness of 1,500cd/m2 and contrast ratio values of 15,000:1 over their previous plasma series, and also now support 1080p24 signals. Details are still scarce but image processing is probably done on a DCDi version. Connections include 2x HDMI, Component and D-Sub VGA PC inputs.
