LG 32PG6000 32in Plasma TV

Oh oh. Panny, better get on it!

having a nice little play about with photoshop, now are we? ;)

Could you lot PLEASE just show us photos of the telly without all those tired Photoshop effects? They're incredibly distracting and only serve to remove detail from the pictures. Give it a rest, please.

lol, told.

No chance of me fitting anything much larger than a 32" set in my living room, so the introduction of a plasma at this size is great news for me. The viewing angle benefits are good for me too.
Do LG make their own panels? Do they sell the panels to anyone else? A bit of competition would be welcome, though the price seems pretty keen already.

hmmm, you wouldn't let the manufacturer write the text, so why do you let them do the illustrations - are they not part of the review also, or maybe just not the "trusted" part? Yup, we are hard to please, the easy ones read other sites!

Yay, like the earlier poster, I can't get away with anything much larger than 32". I have a 32" plasma, a Hitachi which is now approaching 6 years old and it would have been a problem to replace as I find the picture on LCD tv's too poor to be useable.

What the poster who doesn't seem to understand the largest tv size issue misses is that if you get too close to the tv, the pixels become visible. The minimum viewing distance increases with tv size. I am at the limit with the 32" panel in SD, anything bigger and the pixels would be visible. If everything was HD then a bigger tv would of course be possible, but I don't have any HD sources at present.

Andy, they say a picture tells a thousand words. The pictures are there for a reason, and contribute to the (reader's) verdict, since they have a lot to say about the product. After all, most of the time the telly isn't going to be switched on, but its still going to be there in your sitting room, so what it looks like is of more than passing interest.
There is a reason why the stock shots are photoshopped out of all recognition - the manufacturer thinks they look better than the original. A bit like the manufacturer's own prose, its all dressed up. TR doesn't feed us the manufacturer's dressed up prose, I feel it would be better if they took editorial control of the illustrations also.

Hi, anyone that wants to see the TV should go to their nearest Empiredirect. Guttingly (is that a word!?) I missed out on their offer which ended on Sunday (£399!!!). Back up to £499 now doh!

The TV looks smart! If you haven't got an empiredirect near you then take a look at the 42pg6000 in a currys and imagine that shrunk down to 32in as its exactly the same.

@Jay - any chance you could pass these comments about the photos on to LG's marketing department? Maybe they can ask the Photoshop jockey to tone down his "creativity".

Geoff: I take no offence to your comments and - to resolve your curiosity - my house was built around 1870 when fireplaces were a stronger design feature than audio-visual electronics :) My (main) sofa faces the fireplace so the TV "has" to be located in the return to its right. This gives a physical limit to the set which will fit. Plus, typical viewing distance is just three metres. The other sofa's on another wall at right angles, hence the viewing angle comment I made.

Plenty of very happy users on AVForums, the LG is looking good. If my fantastic Sony CRT dies today, I know what I'll replace it with.

We were told yesterday by John Lewis that Panny will be bringing out a 32" plasma before Xmas - in case people don't already know.
