HDTV Reviews – LCD & Plasma TV Review

Up for Review: LG 60PS11 60-inch Plasma HDTV – This HD Plasma set is part of LG’s 2009 PS series designed to provide consumers a quality plasma screen at an affordable price. The 60-inch plasma set supports full 1080p HD signals as well standard definition television and everything in between. We were impressed with the 60PS11’s ability to display images and video in great quality, regardless of the definition settings. A major factor of this Plasma’s image quality is its 600 Hz smooth motion picture processing and super bright panel technology, a feature that comes standard on all PS series flat screen televisions.

LG 60PS11

The LG 60PS11 has a similar feature set to the LG 60PS60 but does not have the single-layer panel that makes the display panel appear like a single pane of glass. The PS11 also does not have the impressive THX Display certification. Outside of these two features, we could not see much difference between the 60PS11 and the slightly more feature-rich 60PS60.

This larger LG Plasma HDTV provides consumers with three HDMI inputs slots and a single USB port. LG has provided enough HD inputs to handle a Blu-Ray player, video game console, cable boxes, and any other quality video and audio components. As far as the on board audio system, LG has equiped the PS11 with its “Invisible Speaker” system. It does a sufficient job of providing balanced sounds, but is somewhat undersized for a television of this size. We recommend the use of a separate surround sound system with this television.

With a solid two year warranty, a 100,000 hour expected lifetime, coupled with first rate image and decent sound quality, consumers looking at the 60PS11 flat screen from LG for its price, can’t go wrong. Retailing at $2,200, we seen it online for about $1,950.
