LG 32PC5RV


$1,000.00 Released November, 2007

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Smallest mass-produced plasma available.

The Cons:Not HDTV - only 852 x 480 resolution. Poor contrast ratio and brightness spec. Larger 1080p plasmas available for not much more $$$.

LG recently announced the LG 32PC5RV 32" plasma TV: the world's smallest (widely available) plasma TV. Typically at this size, LCD TVs dominate the flat-panel market, and the 32PC5RV extends to plasma vs.

LCD debate to the smaller screen sizes. With a price tag expected to be between $1000 and $1100, it has a relatively cost for a plasma. However, with a very low 852 x 480 native resolution, this is not an HDTV compatible set. Many of its other specifications such as brightness (550 lumen) and contrast ratio (1800:1) are less than ideal as well.

Competitors

The LG 32PC5RV will launch in Brazil in October 2007, and to the rest of the world in November. Expect it to retail around the $1000 to $1100 price point. The 32" flat panel market is the fastest growing segment in the television market (according to DisplaySearch), as consumers look for smaller secondary televisions.
