LG 42LG60 LCD TV
42" LG LCD Television
LCD TV Buying Guide Comments
Stepping back in number from the LG70 series but forward in features is 42LG60. This is actually the very top premium LCD TV product (along with the LGX series) for 2008. It contains more design upgrades including a Scarlett accent the back of the unit and on the pedestal base. The framing bezel is a mere 3.4" in depth so this LCD will be preferable for wall mounting. The dynamic contrast ratio has also been increased to 50,000:1 and there are 4 HDMI inputs.

Full HD 1080p Resolution
Displays HDTV programs in full 1920 x 1080p resolution for a more detailed picture.
TruMotion 120Hz
Advance 120Hz panel provides clear, smooth images, even during fast action scenes creating a stable structure for a crisper picture.
Intelligent Sensor
Unlike other sensors which can only sense brightness of ambient light, LG’s “Intelligent Sensor” uses 4,096 sensing steps to evaluate its surroundings. Using a sophisticated algorithm, the LG processes picture quality elements including brightness, contrast, color, sharpness and white balance. The result is a picture optimized for it’s surroundings, more pleasing to watch and which can also save up to 50% in power consumption.
24p Real Cinema
Hi-def movies run at exactly 24 frames per second speed that they were originally filmed in, making your home-cinema experience one step closer to a “Real Cinema” experience.
Clear Voice Technology
Automatically enhances and amplifies the sound of the human voice frequency range to provide high-quality dialogue when background noise swells.
