The other day I featured the LG4000 LCD TV and a product video with the excellent Edd talking about it and its features. Edd’s just as knowledgeable about plasmas as he is about LCDs, and so today he’s here to present LG’s top-of-the-line Plasma, the PG7000. It comes in 50″ and 60″ versions, featuring superb quality picture suited for films and sport, at 100Hz with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The sound from the invisible speakers, tuned by Mark Levinson and enhanced by LG’s ClearVoice technology. And round the back it also offers top quality connectivity, including both USB 2.0 and Bluetooth as well. Finally, don’t forget the gorgeous design with the single layer of frameless glass. Here’s Edd to tell you more:
If you’re interested then check out the PG7000 on the main LG website, and if you have any thoughts or comments then share them with us below.
Last Thursday night we held our Plasma TV bloggers event and for those of you who couldn’t make it, here’s video of George Mead, UK TV Marketing Manager for LG, taking the attendees through the range of Plasma TVs.
That was part one, but also be sure to check out part two and part three as well!
Just to run you through the three Plasma TVs again - they are the LG 32PG6000, the world’s first production 32″ Plasma, the LG PG6900, a dual-tuner Freeview+ Plasma with built-in 160GB PVR, and the LG PG70000, our top-of-the-line Plasma with Bluetooth connectivity.
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:
