IFA 2008: LG Builds PVR Functionality Into New Plasmas
We look forward to the day when modern Plasma or LCD TVs have all of components necessary to provide surround sound, a ton of channels and wireless access to digital media content all tucked neatly away inside a slimline shell. This is probably a few years off, so for the moment we’ll have to settle for devices like LG’s new PG6900.This 50″ screen (there will also be a 42″ model available) is not only superbly slim and stylish, but houses a 160GB hard drive to act as internal storage for the PVR functionality offered by the twin HD digital tuners. You’ll find it offers a full EPG and traditional PVR features such as instant recording and time-shifting and you’ll be able to store about 48 hours of HD content and 86 hours of SD material on the internal drive. It’s no slouch elsewhere either, with three V1.3a HDMI inputs, 30,000:1 contrast ratio and 100Hz refresh rate. They’re expected to appear in Europe towards the end of the year with an estimated price of around €1799 for the 42″ version and €2299 for the larger model. - Paul Lester [Gizmag] LG PVR plasma
