LG will soon be launching their latest HDTV ranges, the LG6000 and PG6000. These super sexy models were shown off at CES but will be available soon in the UK and hopefully elsewhere not long after. The LCD LG6000 range sports four models a 32, 37, 42 and 47 inch versions, whilst the Plasma PG6000 comes in two flavours, 42 and 50 inch. Here’s the shared features of the two ranges

* 15,000:1 contrast ratio (30,000:1 for plasma)
* 24p Tru Cinema
* Four HDMI 1.3 inputs
* USB 2.0 port for looking at photos or listening to mp3s

The LG6000 range also boast ‘invisible’ Mark Levinson speakers which provide a wider ’sweet spot’ by creating a virtual wall of sound - hmmm - I’ll believe that when I, err, hear it. Despite the marketing hyperbole, I’m sure LG’s latest HDTV offerings will make the grade. Unfortunately we have no idea whether your bank manager will agree as price tags are not currently available.

Hannspree have just launched their latest offering in the LCD TV world, the XV AT with a 42 inch widescreen 1366 x 768 HD display. This little sucker will set you back GBP 600 (about US$1200) and has the following specs and features

* 42 inch 1366 x 768 res 16:9 display
* 2 x 15 watt speakers
* Analog input, Digital DVB-T input, 2 x HDMI inputs
* 1,500:1 contrast ratio
* 178 degree viewing angle
* 1050 x 767 x 296 mm
* 24 kg

There is a coaxial audio output, which is just as well cos 2 x 15 W just ain’t gonna cut it on the audio front. There’s also a VGA input to hook up to your PC as well. This looks like a great low-end unit, although it’s only available in the UK at the moment, hopefully Hannspree will give the XV AT a world-wide release soon.

The boffins at Samsung have knocked out a nice looking slim-line model just in time for FPD 2007 at Yokohama. The LCD screen, you fool, not the lass! The screen is a mere 10mm thick whilst 101.6cm (40 inch) from diagonal corner to diagonal corner, other details include

The panel, using an LED backlight, reproduces 92 percent of the NTSC standard for color saturation and features low power consumption of 90 watts or less.

Not content with showing off this little gem, Samsung have also promised to unveil a new range of notebook LCD panels with 16:9 aspect ratios in two versions, a 16 inch or an 18.4 inch diagonal amongst other things. So if you’re into flat panel displays, and admit it who isn’t these days, and you’re hanging out in Yokohama then trot on down to FPD 2007 for all the latest screens you can feast your eyes on. For those of you less fortunate, I’m sure I’ll be posting about a few of the other gems at the FPD 2007 over the next few days.

With the NFL season and the Rugby World Cup just around the corner, Sharp has just provided the sports fan with the ultimate excuse for purchasing a new HD TV. Their latest range of 1080p LCD TVs, the D64U not only boast a contrast ratio of 10,000:1, a 4 ms response time and a 176 degree viewing angle but

a body that is approximately 25% slimmer than previous AQUOS models and about 20% lighter than previous models. The D64 series also features a thinner bezel, and tight fit stealth speakers, giving consumers the ability to fit larger screens in smaller spaces

Yep, that’s right, you can throw out last year’s that ancient bulky LCD TV and buy one with a bigger screen but takes up less space. How can your better half say no?

Even the price tags seem reasonable - 42 inches at US$2,100, 46 at $2,700 and 52 at $3,800. So go on guys give the AQUOS a whirl, should be delivered just in time for kickoff ;)
