5 July, 2005: Plasma display market has a few more additions, courtsey Samsung. Samsung, the world's leading maker of CRT and TFT computer monitors and professional displays, has come out with three more plasma displays to its stable of high-end plasma displays targeted at professional and commercial marketplace. The new plasma display screens include the 42" high-definition PPM42M5H, the 42" standard-definition PPM42M5S and the 50" PPM50M5H. Details on prices and availability are still awaited.
Said Mark Pickard, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Pro A/V displays, for Samsung's Information Technology Division (ITD): “As a worldwide display and technology leader, Samsung understands the rigorous environment and intensive market for high-end digital signage and plasma display products. Samsung’s newest generation plasma monitors on exhibit at InfoComm 2005 highlight the company’s commitment to providing the most advanced display solutions available today. Samsung's new 42-inch and 50-inch plasma monitors offer dramatically higher contrast ratios and brightness levels than in any previous iteration of our plasma products. These, combined with other high-end Samsung technologies, provide customers with superior image quality for any professional, commercial or corporate display application."
The new Samsung high-end plasma monitor screens are ideal for digital signage, professional audio and video applications and financial and multimedia presentation. A super-high 10,000:1 contrast ratio and 1,100 cd/m˛ brightness level are standard for all new plasma screens by Samsung. Whiter whites, blacker blacks and greater shadow detail are made possible by the 10,000:1 contrast ratio. The high contrast ratio has been made possible by an exclusive octal plasma pixel structure, exclusively developed by Samsung, which increases electrical separation between the pixels. This reduces the tendency for one pixel to influence the adjacent pixel, which increases the contrast. Samsung has also selected a high-Xenon gas, which is up to 50% more efficient in generating brightness.
The 42” PPM42M5H features a high 1024 x 768 resolution and is true high-definition by matching the 720p HDTV format without the need for processing.
