Protective Skin Glass: The LG Plasma TV's Protective Skin Glass delivers
significant glass durability and safety, along with superior picture clarity.
Triple XD Engine: The LG PA6500 series Plasma TV utilizes LG's
exclusive Triple XD Engine video processing system for optimum picture quality.
The Triple XD Engine delivers a dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1 for
stunning colors and deep blacks, so the TV's images are crisp, rich, and
vibrant.
600Hz Max Sub Field Driving: The television's 600Hz refresh
rate virtually eliminates motion blur for an incredible viewing experience of
fact action sports, movies, and video games.
HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and
Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive
and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals.
1080p Video Resolution: The LG PA6500 series Plasma TV has a
display resolution of 1920 x 1080. All of the television's video inputs are
displayed at
1920 x 1080 (1080p); regardless of input signal. The LG Plasma HDTV features HDMI, Component, and
Composite video inputs.
- HDMI (v1.3): The three HDMI inputs can be used to connect a DVD player, Blu-ray player, or
satellite/cable box with an HDMI output. The HDMI 2 input can also be used
to connect a device with a DVI output (a DVI-to-HDMI adapter cable is
necessary). If a DVI-equipped device is used, a separate audio cable will
also be needed from the device to the "PC/DVI Audio In" 3.5mm stereo audio
jack. No audio cables are needed for an HDMI-equipped device. The HDMI jack
will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, and 480p video signals; as well as
support Deep Color, and x.v.Color. The television's HDMI inputs do not accept 480i video
signals.
- Component Video: The two Component Video input swill
accept 1080p (60Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals.
- Composite: The component video 2 input can also be used
as a composite video input and will accept 480i
only.
Picture Size (Aspect Ratio): You can select a different aspect ratio depending on input source (analog
broadcasting, digital broadcasting, video input).
- 16:9: Resizes the image ratio to fit 16:9 screen.
- Just Scan: Displays high-quality image without loss. Only
available in DTV, HDMI, or Component (over 720p) mode).
- Set by Program: Depending on the input signal, screen aspect
ratio changes to 4:3 or 16:9.
- 4:3: Resizes the image ratio to fit 4:3 screen.
- Zoom: Resizes the image to fit the screen width. The top and
bottom parts of the image may be cut off.
- Cinema Zoom: Formats an image to the cinemascope ratio (2.35:1)
and zooms in on the ratio.
Picture Wizard II
(Picture Control): This feature lets you adjust the picture quality of
the original image. The LG PA6500 series TV's Picture Wizard II (Easy Picture
Calibration) offers self-calibration with on-screen reference points for key
picture quality elements such as black level, color, tint, sharpness and
backlight levels. This feature takes the guesswork out of picture adjustments.
Picture Modes: The LG Plasma TV provides auto, preset, and
manual adjustment of the television's picture settings.
- Intelligent Sensor: Let the TV do the adjustments for
you. Intelligent Sensor automatically optimizes the picture to the lighting
and color conditions in the room for a more enjoyable viewing experience.
The LG Plasma TV's Intelligent Sensor automatically optimizes the picture
to the lighting and color conditions in the room for a more enjoyable
viewing experience. Unlike other sensors which can only sense brightness of
ambient light, LG's "Intelligent Sensor" uses 4,096 sensing steps to
evaluate its surroundings. Using a sophisticated algorithm, the LG processes
picture quality elements including brightness, contrast, color, sharpness
and white balance. The result is a picture optimized for its surroundings,
more pleasing to watch and which can also save up to 50% in power
consumption.
- Presets: Easy to use factory presets for picture mode
settings include APS (maximizes
video images while reducing power consumption, without hurting picture
quality), Standard (provides optimum viewing for general use), Vivid
(maximizes the effect of the video by strengthening the
contrast/brightness/color/sharpness), Cinema (optimizes video for watching
videos), Game (provides fast response speed for fast gaming system).
- User Adjustment: This mode allows you to adjust the
video quality settings manually. Contrast (increase or decrease the
gradient of the video signal), Brightness (adjusts the base level of the
signal in the picture), Sharpness (adjusts the level of crispness in the
edges between the light and dark areas of the picture), Color (adjusts
intensity of all colors), Tint (adjusts the balance between red and green
levels), Color Temp (set to warm to enhance hotter colors such as red, or
set to cool to enhance cooler colors such as blue).
- Expert Mode: The LG Plasma TV is ISFccc Ready and
contains the detailed standards necessary for professional calibration of
brightness, contrast, tint, sharpness, color levels and much more to meet
local lighting conditions for both day and nighttime viewing. Settings are
added to preset Expert 1/2 modes for easy access from your LG remote.
Picture Improvement Technology (Advanced Control): Advanced
Control allows you to adjust some of the advanced video features of the LG
Plasma TV.
- Dynamic Contrast: Adjusts the contrast to keep it at
the best level according to the brightness of the screen. The picture is
improved by making bright parts brighter and dark parts darker.
- Preferred Color: Set the Skin, Grass, and Sky color
independently.
- Super Resolution: Provides a crystal-clear picture by
impr0ving the details in an area that has a blurry or unclear picture.
- Gamma: You can adjust the brightness of dark areas and
middle gray level areas of the picture.
- Color Gamut: Maximizes the utilization of colors to
increase color quality.

include:
- Black Level: Sets the black level of the screen to the
proper level.
- Noise Reduction: Reduces screen noise without
compromising video quality.
- Film Mode: Makes video clips recorded in a film look
more natural by eliminating judder effect.
Image Sticking Minimization (ISM): A frozen still picture
displayed on the screen for prolonged periods can result in a ghost image. The
TV's ISM prevents images from sticking or removes ghost images. There are 3 ISM
modes.
- Normal: If image sticking is never a problem, ISM is
not necessary - set to Normal.
- Orbiter: Orbiter may help prevent ghost images.
However, it is best not to allow any fixed image to remain on the screen. To
avoid a ghost image on the screen, the image will move every 2 minutes.
- Color Wash: The color block with the screen moved a
little and the white pattern are alternately displayed. It is difficult to
see the after image on all colors. Once it has been corrected it will not be
visible in any color.
Audio Features
Virtual Surround: Infinite Surround is a patented LG proprietary sound processing technology that
delivers immersive 5.1 surround sound with just two front speakers.

Clear Voice II: Clear Voice II
enhances and amplifies the frequency range of the human voice to help keep
dialogue audible when background noise swells.
Auto Volume: Auto Volume makes sure that the volume level remains
consistent whether you are watching a commercial or a regular TV program.

volume adjustment may be needed every time the channel is changed. This feature
allows users to enjoy stable volume levels by making automatic adjustments for
each program.
Screen Off: You can turn the screen off and only sound is played
through the television's speakers.
Digital Audio Output: The optical digital output

only output in 2ch stereo from sources connected to the television via HDMI,
RCA, or USB.
