ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., April 2, 2008 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics is
partnering with the Sonoma Valley Film Society as the “Official HDTV
Sponsor of the 2008 Sonoma Valley Film Festival,” which runs April 9 - 13.
Showcasing the stylish new PG60 series of plasma HDTVs, LG Electronics will
show festival-goers, ranging from independent filmmakers to movie and wine
aficionados, how they can bring a true theater experience to their home.
Complementing the Sonoma Festival’s edgy, casual environment, the new
plasma sets will be featured at VIP venues as part of stylish home theater
settings, which also include LG’s high-definition disc player (BH200) and a
700-watt home theater system (LHT799). As one of the first plasma series to
attain THX Display Certification, LG’s PG60 series assures consumers that
these models will deliver exceptional image quality, bringing a more
immersive movie, TV and video game experience to their living rooms.
“Both LG and the Sonoma Festival are focused on bringing a superior
entertainment experience to avid film enthusiasts,” said Allan Jason, vice
president of consumer electronics marketing at LG Electronics, USA, Inc.
“Through premium sound and picture performance, the new LG plasmas
showcased here integrate features that allow viewers to enjoy an enhanced
theater experience from the comfort of their own home.”
The PG60 series offers a true-to-life viewing experience thanks to its
“Full-HD” 1080p resolution. Showcased in a stylish “one-layer” design, the
set has a modern appearance even when turned off. Adding to the dramatic
appearance, LG also has incorporated a unique invisible speaker system,
which eliminates the need for speaker grills.
Not compromising on audio performance, this technology was custom tuned
by renowned audio guru Mr. Mark Levinson to provide excellent sound
reproduction and a wider sweet spot than conventional speakers. THX Display
certification along with many other user-friendly technologies are sure to
make this series the “reference” set for customers who demand top
performance in both technology and design.
“We’re thrilled to partner with LG Electronics and feature its latest
line of plasmas at this year’s Festival because our attendees expect a
sophisticated entertainment experience,” said Festival Development Director
Liana Bender. “LG consistently delivers the ultimate home entertainment
experience, showing wide-screen, high-definition films as the director
intended.”
