Don't look now, but those
delicious looking LCD TVs we saw grace the depths of the FCC's database last week have apparently surfaced across the pond, and they've brought a line of PDPs with 'em. 'Course, we already got a whiff of these
at CES, but it's always reassuring to have a model number to cling to, no? The LG6000 LCD HDTV series consists of 32-, 37-, 42- and 47-inch iterations that boast a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, "invisible" Mark Levinson speakers, automatic brightness and color optimization, four HDMI 1.3 inputs, a USB 2.0 port and TruMotion 100Hz technology on the largest two sets. As for the 42- and 50-inch PG6000 plasmas, you'll notice a 30,000:1 contrast ratio, THX Display certification and most everything else previously mentioned on the LCD siblings. Regrettably, there's no word on a price or release date, but we can't envision such good looks coming sans a premium.

It blows my mind how LCD manufactures still continue to state those blown out of proportion-gibberish dynamic contrast ratios. Everyone knows that it's all bullshit. There should be a rule now that the ANSI contrast ratio must be used on product spec - dynamic CR is all nothing but misleading advertisement and lies.
So, for these LG LCDs, the 15,000:1 is more like 700:1 ANSI CR....junk.

I agree... if we're going to have that number advertised, it should be a real measurement.
I doubt my Samsung 71 is anywhere near the 25,000:1 they advertise, but whatever it truly is, it's high enough for me. Quite sexy. :)
