Plasma Television is still loved by many gadget-o-freaks for its astounding performance and picture clarity. The plummet in the plasma sales due to the more energy efficient counterparts and other evolving display technologies is the trend in 2009. Many of the major manufacturers deserted the plasma television industry, and the industry watchers pointed it as the end of the plasma display panels. However the remaining players have come up with many ground breaking technologies like NeoPDP to reduce the power consumption and eco-hazardous materials in Plasma Televisions.
Competition is always an inevitable element in any industry, and stiff rivalry is there in plasma industry as well. Panasonic launched the hi-fi plasma television with excellent refresh rate of 600Hz. Following Panasonic, almost all major manufacturers like Samsung, LG, etc. has come up with 600Hz plasma HDTVs to game in the race. Within few days of Panasonic’s announcement about their new 600Hz HDTV range, Samsung has come up with ultra thin 600Hz Plasma Television with amazing features and wireless connectivity as well.
The 600Hz war is fueled with the entry of LG into the race with LG PS8000 Series that sports 600Hz Smooth Motion Technique. Apart from this superior sub field driving, these contemporary displays extends more features. It includes eco-friendly aspects like zero lead/mercury usage for manufacturing tellies, bidding goodbye to spray paints and curtailing the energy efficiency by 50%. The display makers are marshaling hard to come up with boosted dynamic contrast ratio to deliver more better black levels and vibrancy in the output pics.
One may think about the relevance of 600Hz refresh rate!!! Refresh rate indicates the number of times an image is altered/updated before displaying it in the screen. Hence refresh rate has a key role in checking the image blurs and motion lag in the output video. The higher the refresh rate, the better s the pic clarity. Moreover high refresh rate increases the vibrancy and vividness of the video output too.
Let us have a look into the popular 600Hz models from the major display leaders. Panasonic is the tekkie-giant who introduced this concept. Conventional plasma/LCD televisions come with 50Hz refresh rate, and majority of the manufacturers were boasting around for rendering the supreme video output with their 100Hz HDTVs. Panasonic silenced all the technocrats who blasted the plasma technology for being “power hungry” with the introduction of Panasonic Viera NeoPDP Television. It was indeed an innovative product with various ground breaking technologies like 600Hz sub field motion drive, ultra slim profile with 8.8mm thickness, Neo PDP display that cuts down the energy consumption to almost 50%, and lots more.
Samsung entered the game with the debut of super-slim Samsung Series 8 plasma display panels in 2009. They come up with appealing features like wireless data transfer, DLNA compliance, 600Hz refresh rate, full hd resolution and even more exciting internet@tv technology. Following the trend LG also released LG PQ60 series plasma televisions that boasted a novel contrast ratio of one billion to one and superb 600HZ refresh rate and room light sensor that senses the lighting conditions of the room to alter the screen brightness automatically. With display makers striving hard to come up with the best plasma television, the competition is more stiffened making this 600Hz combat more severe!!!
