CES 2006, which will commence in Las Vegas on Thursday, is all slated to become a major showcasing platform for LG.Philips, a global innovator in liquid crystal display (LCD) technology. The company has decided to reveal its advanced thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) suite in the exhibition, it is projected to give a major quality boost to the functionalities of HDTVs, desktop monitors, notebook PCs, digital information displays and other applications in the near future.

To begin with, LG.Philips LCD will be demonstrating its award winning 55-inch wide full high definition (1920 x 1080, two megapixels) panel for HDTVs. This panel is projected to achieve a dynamic contrast ratio of 1200:1. In addition to this, LG Phillips will also be displaying 47-, 42- and 37-inch wide full high definition TFT-LCDs for TVs that are capable of delivering dynamic contrast ratio up to 1600:1. These panels are believed to mesmerize you with their several advanced features including wide viewing angle of 178(degrees), maximum brightness of 600 cd/m2, and a high color gamut.

LG Phillips efforts to revolutionize LCD’s high resolution capabilities will be put across to the prospective consumers through the display of its 55-, 47- and 42-inch wide UXGA (1920 x 1080) portrait mode digital information displays.
