LG 60PY2DR

The 60-inch (152.4 cm) LG 60PY2DR HDTV plasma television from LG Electronics is known as the first of its kind to come with an integrated high-definition digital video recorder.  This means that a subscription or phone line is unnecessary for recording programs.  Simply save the content you want in the built-in hard disk drive that is capable of holding 160 GB of data.

Viewing of digital high-definition programs is optimized by six different processes and the proprietary XD Engine.  The low resolution of analog signals is elevated to almost HD level quality by these technologies, providing improved contrast, more accurate color reproduction, and greater detail and brightness.  Noise reduction is enhanced while black levels are expanded.  Plus, the glass filter incorporates a high contrast screen with non-glare coating to make watching programs or movies as easy on the eyes as possible.  The 60PY2DR plasma TV also has protective measures against the damaging effects of the burn-in phenomenon.

Features such as the 9-in-2 Multi Memory Card slot, the TV Guide On Screen, and the split-screen modes allow any individual to customize his or her viewing experience according to personal preference.  Users will also find the various DVR options to be useful and user-friendly.  The suggested retail price of the LG 60PY2DR as of May 2006 stands at $11,999.95.
