With the year drawing to a close it’s awards time and we’re very pleased to see LG’s panel screen televisions do so well. In What Plasma & LCD TV magazine’s December issue, we scooped several prizes and plaudits. The LG Scarlet 32LG6000 won Best HD Ready 32″ LCD TV, with a stirring commendation from the judges:
In design terms alone, this TV stands apart from the competition, with a cheeky red rear to liven up even the most drab of living rooms. But, scratch beneath the fashionable surface, however, and you’ll find some significant HD chops. A whopping four HDMIs lead the charge, flagging up that this TV lives and breathes hi-def. And so it goes: colours are vibrant and cinema mode pictures are silky smooth - a TV with brains as well as beauty. Those invisible speakers are seriously kick-ass too!
Its counterpart, the LG Scarlet 47LG7000, won the Best 46-47″ LCD TV award as well:
A feature count headed by Bluetooth may catch the eye, but it’s the Scarlet’s picture quality that’ll have you feverish. All of this 47-incher’s features and settings come together to produce the most glorious HD images from LG so far. Muscular HD performance doesn’t come at the expense of standard definition pictures, mind: they are also amongst the best we’ve seen. A generous quartet of HDMIs seals the deal. LG enters the big league.
The plasmas also had a great showing. The LG 32PG6000 won “Bargain of the Year” overall:
Time to tick some boxes. Stunning ‘frameless’ design? Tick. Bountiful HD-friendly connectivity? Another tick. Blur-free images and well-saturated colours? Ditto. The best black levels we’ve seen on a flatscreen this size? Definitely - and that’s because the 32PG6000 is a plasma, the world’s smallest plasma! It’s also a total steal for the asking price.
Meanwhile, it’s bigger brother the LG 42PG6000 won “Most Stylish TV”:
Identikit TVs begone! LG is unquestionably leading the way when it comes to designing screens with beauty as well as HD processing brawn - and this TV is the cutest thing we’ve clapped eyes on this year [...] A sumptuous glossy black finish complements this 42-incher’s revolutionary super-flat fasci, giving the impression that the screen and frame is made from a single sheet of glass. It’s aleady a design classic in our books.
As well as outright awards, LG TVs also featured in the ‘Highly Commended’ sections of several categories. The LG 42LG6100 Slimline Scarlet was described as “a breeze to use” and highly commended in the Best 42″ LCD TV category. The LG 52LG5000 was another commended LCD, in the Best 52″ LCD TV category for its “tiny price tag”. Plasma-wise, the LG 50PG6000 was highly commended in the Best 50″ Plasma category, described as “unbeatable value”, and the LG 42PG6000 won a high commendation for its single pane design in the Best 42″ Plasma TV category.
We’d like to thank the judges and What Plasma & LCD TV for their recognition - we’re enormously pleased to see they think of our TVs as highly as we do. Roll on 2009!
