Klegg: A New Name In Plasma TV

Why more plasma TV brands, you may ask? Well, plasma is hot and Klegg Electronics, a well-established brand in Europe, has decide to come to the US. Their models are aimed at the high-end, custom install market and, according to Klegg, built to a higher standard.

All plasma TVs use plasma glass panels that come from only a few giant factories. The big guys produce most of the glass: Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Hitachi, etc. The differences are in style, features, and, most importantly: electronics and video processing.

Klegg’s plasma HDTV’s are engineered with the high quality glass and include ATSC/NTSC TV tuners for over-air high definition reception with both HDMI and component compatibility. The DVI is also on the inputs on the TVs. Discrete IR codes for universal remote programming and discrete RS-232C codes make Klegg plasmas perfect for custom and commercial installation applications. Klegg’s signature aluminum bezels and chassis provide ample heat dissipation to keep LCD panels cooler while providing a durable, luxurious look.

Klegg’s video processing includes their own True Cinema technology. All movies are filmed at 24 frames per second; however normal televisions display video at the broadcast standard of 30 frames per second, causing some misplacement and blurring of cinema images. Using Klegg's unique video processing technology, each and every frame is processed individually, accurately converting cinema to video. The result is a natural, smooth, crisp picture free of distortion.

Klegg's KP 6301 plasma HDTV boasts an impressive 63 inch screen size, 720P resolution, generous compliments of inputs and outputs, along with an ATSC high definition tuner and dual tuner for picture–in-picture content display. Klegg also offers 42, 50 and 55 inch models with the same high-quality features. Klegg may be a new name to us in the United States, but company officials say Klegg is here to stay and intends to provide another quality choice for consumers and custom installers. We hope to have more on Klegg once we test a unit and the reviews are in. In the meanwhile, check out Klegg's Web site at: www.kleggusa.com/product_plasma.html
