Two 1080p panels were introduced at the show under the Puriti line, featuring
1200:1 CR, 500 nits of brightness, 6.5 milliseconds response time, both use Proton's
exclusive Puriti video processing technology that the company claims to deliver
“reference standard picture quality” (Puriti processing is said to convert analog
signals to digital filtering out noise artifacts).
The panels also featured viewing angles of 176 degrees, 3D de-interlacing and edge
enhancement, anti-glare screens, built-in NTSC and ATSC tuners, and a package of
video enhancement circuitry to compliment the Puriti system, including a Motion
Lagging Correction Engine for smooth screen action, 3D color management, 3-2 pull
down, adjustable color temperature, PIP and POP functions.
42” LX-42P7C2 $2,500, built-in surround sound circuitry, two 30-watt speakers

CES 2007
The company introduced their first premier panel line with the P47D5 and P42D5.
1080p HD resolution, built-in digital and analog tuners, HDMI inputs, conventional
4:3, 16:9 Zoom, and Panoramic display modes, dual-picture functions (PIP/POP),
1200:1 CR, brightness level of 500 nits, built-in 5-watt speakers, HDMI inputs.
The panels use sixth generation of Proton’s exclusive Puriti video enhancement
technology for a claimed wider color range than conventional LCD or CRT displays
using built-in artificial intelligence system to analyze color frequencies and intensity
for natural skin tones and improved blacks by compensating for picture detail lost to
poor contrast, the company said.
The Puriti processing converts analog signals to digital and filters out noise artifacts,
and offers horizontal and vertical viewing angles of 176 degrees. Additional
functionality includes Puriti’s 3D De-interlacing and Edge Enhancement processing to
reduce jagged edges from interlaced video formats, fast refresh rate to eliminate
delay or ghosting effects, Motion Lagging Correction Engine, 3D Color Management,
3-2 Pull Down for film content, adjustable color temperature, an aluminum frame
with a thin silver outer edge and a black inner frame.
