LG TVs in our Lab: LED LE8900 and Plasma PK790

We've given up counting the number of e-mails we revive asking when we're going to test LG's new TVs.  Well, we've got some good news for you: two of them just arrived in our lab.  One of them, the LE8900, uses Full LED technology while the other, the PK760, is a plasma.

The LE8900 uses Full LED backlighting which leaves a TV that's only 3.5 cm thick.  It comes in three sizes, 42'', 47'' and 55''.  Other features include:

The second TV, the PK790, uses plasma technology and is available in just two sizes, 50'' and 60''.  The former has the advantage of coming in at under £800, but still looks great and has a very interesting range of features:

600 Hz mode with 24p Real Cinema Online services (VOD, YouTube ...) and DLNA WiFi available via an optional USB adaptor Multimedia player can access content on external stooge devices Thickness: 5.3 cm Four HDMI ports THX certified
