LG 50PS60


The 50PS60's THX Display Certification ensures exceptional viewing experiences, while 600Hz Sub-Field Drive technology reproduces video with heightened realism by flashing the plasma panel's pixels 10 times for each frame of TV or movie content. Four HDMI inputs and two HD component video inputs give you multiple options for getting HD video to the full HD 1080p panel. While Clear Voice II technology enhances movie and TV dialogue, an Invisible Speaker system lends this LG plasma panel a more compact, less obtrusive footprint.Minimize


LG 60PG3000


This 60" screen offers high definition resolution for your favourite films and TV programmes, and uses 100 Hz scanning to reduce lag by calculating frames at 100 images per second, instead of 50 or 60. The 60PG3000 also comes with an XD Engine image enhancer and a digital comb filter, making graphics seem lifelike, as well as three HDMI sockets and two scart jacks for adding a multimedia hard drive, a DVD recorder or a games console.Minimize
