Viewty Smart Hits Retailers

Last night we launched our three new Plasma TVs at an exclusive bloggers event at Craven Cottage football ground – just like we did for LCDs a couple of weeks ago. A good crowd turned up, including Stephen from Gadgeteer and Phil, Sally & Lee from the AVForums. George Mead, LG UK’s marketing manager for TV, showed off our three new Plasmas for the second half of 2008 as well as discussing some of our plans with the future with the attendees:

You can check out more photos of the event here. Anyway, you’re probably dying to hear more about the three new plasmas, so without further ado:

• The 32PG6000 is the world’s first production 32″ HD Plasma television with 100Hz and an built-in tuner. HD Ready with built-in Freeview, it’s perfect especially for homes who want to enjoy Plasma’s rich blacks and motion, but are restricted by small living rooms or alcoves that make fitting a larger screen awkward.
• The PG6900 is a dual-tuner Freeview+ Plasma with built-in digital video recorder, with 160GB capacity (approx 86 hours recording time at standard quality). It comes in 42″ and 50″ versions.
• The PG7000 is our top-of-the-line Plasma, in 50″ and 60″ versions. As well as superb quality picture and sound it also offers top quality connectivity, including both USB 2.0 and Bluetooth as well.

For more information check out the links for each of them, or download the product shots we have (14.6MB, ZIP) we have for some product shots. All three Plasmas will be out very shortly in the UK – no more than 3-4 weeks before you see it in the shops.

We’re proud of all three of these Plasmas, which as George pointed out, greatly expand our range of Plasma screens available on the market, and offer a lot more choice, each catering for different kinds of LG customer. The 32PG6000 especially will shake up the market we think – our research shows that rooms in the UK more likely to be small or an odd shape, making it ideal for people who have been unable until now to fit a Plasma in their house or flat. So here’s Ed from the product training team taking you through some of the features – enjoy:
