AVForums have released their review of LG’s PK990 Plasma TV this afternoon.

The reviewer highlights the improvement in the depth of the blacks compared to older LG Plasmas as a big positive in this TV. Other noted positives in picture quality are the THX mode, which produces excellent Greyscale and Colour at the click of a button.

The review is the first released for the PK990, which is this year’s flagship Plasma from LG. It comes with LG’s exclusive NetCast technology, allowing consumers’ wireless access to YouTube, Skype to Skype video calling and AccuWeather through their TV as well being fully HD Freeview ready.

The reviewer goes on to describe hi-res photos accessed using a USB device as “absolutely gorgeous on the big screen”. The reviewer points out that input lag is a little higher on this when compared with other plasma TVs making it less ideal for gamers, but it’s worth noting that LG do recommend this TV for watching sports and movies rather than gaming.

The PK990 has a planned release date of mid to late April
