LG's sexy LG6000 / PG6000 HDTVs strut their stuff in London

Don't look now, but those delicious looking LCD TVs we saw grace the depths of the FCC's database last week have apparently surfaced across the pond, and they've brought a line of PDPs with 'em. 'Course, we already got a whiff of these at CES, but it's always reassuring to have a model number to cling to, no? The LG6000 LCD HDTV series consists of 32-, 37-, 42- and 47-inch iterations that boast a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, "invisible" Mark Levinson speakers, automatic brightness and color optimization, four HDMI 1.3 inputs, a USB 2.0 port and TruMotion 100Hz technology on the largest two sets. As for the 42- and 50-inch PG6000 plasmas, you'll notice a 30,000:1 contrast ratio, THX Display certification and most everything else previously mentioned on the LCD siblings. Regrettably, there's no word on a price or release date, but we can't envision such good looks coming sans a premium.

How much?

[hotfstop @ Feb 18th 2008 1:12PM]

should that be 120Hz?

[Darkest Daze @ Feb 18th 2008 2:24PM]

Europe uses PAL which is 50hz signals, so doubling it will give you a 100hz refresh rate.

Wow, THX Display certification? Are you kidding me? THX has absolutely NOTHING to do with video quality, it's all accurate audio replication.

What a gimmick.

I know it exists, but I still think THX is just using their branding to sell products that have nothing at all to do with rudimentary THX technology.

Dear Evan,

Have a look sometime.


Love, Everyone Who Isn't A Retard.

Don't shout guys, I had the same reaction as Evan when I first learned about THX doing video displays. Way back when when they started (shudder, the first THX video optimizer), they didn't actually have any video pro's onstaff. It was basically an accountant, a salesman, and a tech buff.

Today they do actually have video experts including some ISF guys on hand. So, they do good video reviews and have a decent optimizer now.
