Up for Review: LG 60PS60 – LG’s High Definition Plasma televisions have received accolades for their color reproduction and fast response times- up to 1000x faster than other flat panel technologies. The LG 60PS60 is no exception. This HD Plasma set is part of LG’s 2009 PS60 series. The 60-inch plasma set supports full 1080p HD signals as well standard definition television. We were impressed with the 60PS60’s ability to display images and video in great quality, regardless of the definition settings. A major component of this Plasma’s image quality is its 600 Hz smooth motion picture processing and super bright panel technology.
LG 60PS60
The PS60 series of LG are THX certified plasma HDTV’s and the picture and sound quality were top notch as we tested the LG 60PS60 especially in the THX mode. One area of concern we did have with picture quality was the depth of black coloring, it was better than any LCD we’ve seen, but not as good as some plasmas we have tested. However, with 600Hz Smooth Motion technology, a 1080p resolution and 30,000:1 contrast ratio, the LG 60PS60 is an exceptional HD set that will provide excellent picture quality. LG also promises a 100,000 hour life span for the PS60 series which means this 60-inch set will last longer than other plasma sets. If you are looking for a plasma set that will run forever, this is the set for you!
This larger size plasma HDTV also has a variety of inputs – 1 USB port and 4 HDMI inputs, which is more than enough input ports for most consumers. All our reviewers gave the LG 60PS60 top marks for its exterior design. It is fronted by a single pane of glass, behind which appear the screen and the black border around it. Below the screen is a simple angled-back horizontal strip, accented only by the chrome arc of the power switch on the left side. The sides are edged in metallic silver that matches the pedestal on the swivel stand, which is shaped in its own arc mirroring the power switch. This is one of the best looking Plasma sets we have reviewed this year.
The adage “You get what you pay for” is certainly true in the case of this plasma set by LG. Retailing at $2,499.99, we’ve seen it as low as $1699.00 at Amazon.com. Cleverreviews.com believes this is a quality set worth the money.
