LG unveils new range of touch sensitive Plasma TVs that interact with a digitized pen

Touch displays with their ever trusty styluses have almost become the commercial criterion for a range of electronic devices from mobile phones to tablets. But in the present scenario we are surely witnessing a paradigm shift in the thriving electronic market, and this righteous trend alludes to collective connectivity of devices. Data can just as easily be transferred and processed from phones to laptops and so on. So with this convenient technological edge in our stride, why should we leave out one of the oldest (and popular) electronic devices ever invented? Yes, we are talking about televisions, and LG has unveiled a new line of interactive Plasma TVs that functions in conjunction with a digitized pen (stylus).

LG PenTouch TV

Christened as the PenTouch TV, the interactive mechanism imbibed in it acts as a separate mode for the television. When the mode is activated via a remote control, users can drag work files, draw pictures and process other data (from their personal computers) directly onto the television screen. The TVs also have internet utility for a web browsing on the big screen. Moreover, LG has also considered the introduction of games with a two pen system for multiplayer engagement.

Fueled by LG's very own TruSlim frame design, according to the company's senior vice president Jay Vandenbree, these Plasma TVs embody the next generation of interactive entertainment system cum work station. They conveniently fuse the practical elements of touch displays, computers and the internet into a television component. This momentous advantage is further accentuated by user friendly design considerations such as a scratch resistant screen (apt for writing), auto sharpness control, color materialization technology and ergonomic bearing.

Coming to specs, the touch sensitive Plasma TVs can be connected to dual-core 2GHz or better CPU computers (up to Windows XP operating system) with more than 1GB, more than 500 HDD, a graphics card with 1920x1080 (for PZ850 series) or 1024x768 (for PV490 series), and an RGB or HDMI connection. So, at the end of the day we finally can reap the benefits of the fascinating confluence of our television sets and computer systems.
