The new LG 42PQ6000 Plasma gets Cnet’s approval

One of LG’s 2009 TV ranges is the PQ6000 series, which got it’s first review from Cnet’s Crave earlier this week. I’m happy to report they have given it the thumbs up!

We have to say, this is a very pretty-looking screen. We love the one-piece glass design, which gives it a very modern look. We also love how slim the TV is, making it great for popping away in a little corner or even wall-mounting it. LG says the joy of this TV is that everything is hidden away. And indeed, TV controls are tucked away at the side, and the sound seems to come from nowhere. It’s all very clever, and icy cool too.

For saving the environment and your wallet, the LG comes with an Eco mode, which should reduce its power consumption to ultra-low levels. Engaging this mode does reduce the brightness somewhat, so you might consider using it when the lights are off at movie time. Happily, to save you having to trawl through menus, the TV can also detect the ambient light levels and auto-adjust itself.
