The good: Highly accurate primary colors in THX mode; solid video processing; superb feature set with numerous picture controls; fine connectivity with four HDMI and one PC input; beautiful external design.
The bad: Expensive; less accurate color decoding and grayscale in THX mode; produces lighter blacks than the best plasmas; some false contouring.
The bottom line: Although its THX mode isn't as accurate as we'd like to see, the LG 50PG60 50-inch plasma TV still delivers a good picture.

- Manufacturer: LG
- Part number: 50PG60
- Description: Incorporating Single Layer technology, LG was able to completely eliminate the usual screen border, making the set appear to be an elegant, seamless sheet of glass. This window-like, screen-only TV is more than just looks, however. The PG60 boasts a contrast ratio of 30,000:1 - the industry's highest - which enables better black levels than ever before, and which are further enhanced by its dual XD engine. The TV also has Full HD capabilities and Fluid Motion technology that displays images much faster than 180Hz. The PG60 similarly includes LG's Invisible Speaker with upgraded sound quality and wider sweet spot.
