LG RZ-42PY10x
THE WORLD'S BEST PLASMA!
Now it's exactly three years since I in HemmaBio magazine did Europe's biggest test (at that time) of plasma
screens. The development since then has really moved forward and we today have screens that without pardon an-
nihilates those from that time, and at the same time only cost a fraction of what they did. I recently happened to
pass by this LG plasma by coincidence at a fair in Stockholm and after just a short glance I realised the need to get
this machined out in the medias so you as a consumer would know that you actually can by a plasma with a good
conscience today – because here, every cent does what it's supposed to do. This XGA plasma gives a CHOCKING
good picture at an attractive price!!!

When this test was made, in December 2001, a normal plasma in size 42 inch (which is the normal "mainstream size"
for a plasma, as 29 inch is normal for a traditional CRT TV) was around 8-12000 Euros. The fi rst generation emerged in
98-99 and was even more expensive – a shameless 20-25000 Euros and then there were only fi lthy rich morons that
bought screens. Today we have reached a price tag of below 4000, that means less than 100 Euros per inch, and this with
a picture quality that makes the fi rst generation screen look like industrial waste. If you would take a screen from the fi rst
generation and place it on the side of this screen even a nearly blind would see and understand the difference between
rocks and diamonds. Now this might sound hard, but the fact is that the fi rst generation screen were pure crap – even
related to their price. You get a pretty decent car for 25000 Euro. NEC's test winning screen 2001 - NEC PlasmaSync
42MP3 – was the one considered the best, and it was good, but hardly worth as much money as 8000 Euros. Today NEC
is still one of the top players in plasma, together with the founder of the technology Fujitsu (co-operates with Hitachi),
and the contrast and black masters within plasma: Panasonic. These are three very good suppliers of plasma screens and
TVs (built-in tuner), but none of them has ever presented a screen that for such a low price as this LG manages to get such
an incredibly good picture quality. LG is one of only ^ve manufacturers of plasma screens. The others are Fujitsu/Hitachi,
NEC, Panasonic and Pioneer. Read more about the plasma technology under "Everything about Image – Image reproduc-
tion techniques".

Summary of Contents for LG 47WV30MS

  • Page 1 Panasonic. These are three very good suppliers of plasma screens and TVs (built-in tuner), but none of them has ever presented a screen that for such a low price as this LG manages to get such an incredibly good picture quality.
  • Page 2 TVs, (composite, S video and RCA audio) for fast connection of a digital camera or a game console. The manual, which is very clear and easy to read, state that LG recommends (as we always have) to use the component input for DVD and the SCART connector for VHS.
  • Page 3 4000:1. I have seen them and they are truly sharp, dynamic and full of contrast with a very good blackness, but none has made such an impression on me as this LG plasma did. The blackness might not be as deep as on the best screens from Panasonic and is more comparable to DLP projection in HD2+ class, but the brightness is much higher and this, in conjunction with almost as good blackness, gives a better contrast ratio.
  • Page 4: Picture In Picture

    Rich sound! On the sound side LG shows a pretty good face as well as the PY10 delivers a rich and good TV sound that will suit ev- eryone that doesn’t want to go for a separate audio system. The SSM function (Sound Status Memory) is a memory for different sound modes suitable for movies, music or TV.
  • Page 5 DVD picture via DVI If we change the DVD signal to DVI we turn into a more sad chapter. LG replaced this screen three times without us getting the DVI picture to work – it loses the connection to the DVD player. Three different screens were tested. Screen 1 man- aged DVI during short periods before the signal went dead.
  • Page 6 3800 Euro incl. VAT? I have also seen PY10 with HDTV material and then the picture was so good I cannot even describe it in words. LG RZ-42PY10 leads the plasma league by a good margin! If you connect your new PC...
  • Page 7 9-pin RS-232C. We also get a few side mounted inputs, as customary on ordinary TVs, (composite, S video and RCA audio) for fast connection of a digital camera or a game console. DVI doesn’t work correctly, but LG has promised...
