MUMBAI: LG Electronics showcased flat panel and connectivity solutions at the recently concluded Infocomm 2008 trade event in Las Vegas. Blending advanced technologies and design to fit a range of environments, LG demonstrated its line, including Full HD 1080p LCD and plasma HDTVs; advanced stretch screens and touch digital signage applications; and Remote Jack Pack (RJP) solutions.

LG said its line of versatile flat-panel displays for the education, retail, hospitality/lodging and healthcare industries position it to offer a diverse, single-source solution optimized for a variety of commercial environments.

As integrators seek more creative signage solutions to help attract and connect with customers, LG's digital displays target to meet this requirement. New interactive elements and futuristic product technologies such as multi-touch displays, triple-view, mirror and 3D monitor LCDs "engage the senses and extend the end-user experience."

Addressing the need for connectivity, LG's unique Auto-Sensing Remote Jack Packs (RJPs) (models RJP-110F, RJP-110FW, RJP-110W) can sense the audio and video source automatically allowing hotel guests to check e-mail, play music, and watch the big game all through one interface.

While connectivity plays an integral part in in-room entertainment, LG's LC50 series LCD displays (available in 42-, 37- and 32-inch class sizes) provide hoteliers with LG's Dynamic Power Savings feature, which allows hotel operators to adjust settings which may help to reduce energy usage. Hotel guests are treated to a premium experience with smart technology in upscale design with LG's 42LB5DC Full HD 1080p television. A "Super IPS" 178 degree viewing angle, and speakers located on the bottom for tight-fitting areas make this unit a sleek addition to any hotel room.

LG's three new plasma HDTVs have advanced technology and sophisticated design. With an invisible speaker system and proprietary Public Display settings that lock the control panel so the TV image can not be disturbed in a public setting, these plasmas are ideal for commercial applications.

While all three plasma models are built around long-life 100,000-hour panels (approximate), the 60-inch class size* PG30FC is LG Commercial's first plasma Full HDTV 1080p commercial grade television. In a 3.3-inch thin design, the HDTV plasma also boasts a super high contrast ratio of 30,000:1 and provides whiter whites and richer blacks. Also on display, the 42PG20C and the 50PG20C, will showcase their adaptability with three HDMI inputs with Deep Colour.

LG says that its digital signage line-up lends itself to a variety of installation and control options. At InfoComm, digital signage models M4210N-B21, M3800S-BN, M2900S-BN, and M3201T-BA were arranged in various applications to demonstrate options for digital menus, wayfinding and more.

LG's 42-inch class model highlights easy content control though an integrated controller. In addition, this model is capable of portrait and landscape orientation as well as a self-video wall up to a 4x4 matrix allowing for a variety of installation options.

Engaging the attention spans of customers and retailers are LG Electronics' new LCD touch screen monitors. Designed to bring advanced display capabilities to enliven any retail environment, the 32-inch (model M3201T-BA) class size* touch screen model on display blends image display and the ability to provide real-time information in one package.
