Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. is set to show a prototype 54-inch wide-screen high-definition LCD (liquid crystal display) at CES, which begins in Las Vegas on January 9.
The panel, for which mass production plans have yet to be decided, is the largest TFT (thin film transistor) LCD to be announced by any of the world's flat-panel makers. A monitor based on the panel will get its international unveiling at CES, a company spokesman said.
It has a resolution of 1,920 pixels by 1,080 pixels, which means it has sufficient resolution to support 1,080-line progressive scan digital television, Samsung said in a statement. The screen can also support lower resolutions, including 720-line progressive and standard definition 525 line images. The panel's contrast ratio is 800:1 and it has a 170-degree viewing angle, said Samsung.
