"Cooler than a polar bear in a refrigerator"

What I like:

The sleek black design and the picture quality

What I don't like:

the audio outputs

Review:

The 15000:1 contrast ratio really shows on this TV, the colours are fantastic, the blacks are BLACK, and the pictures are very crisp when running on freeview, High Def DVD and of course the Xbox 360.

After looking at about 30 different plasma models before buying, the colours really hit me, as did the sharpness of the pictures. In the store I bought it in, this TV was set up next to a Panansonic 42PX70, and I have to say thanks to LG's XD engine, the colours beat the panansonic, and also look more natural then on the oh so highly recommended Panansonic.

So all in all the picture quality is fantastic, the sound quality is ok, they stuck to showing the speakers which I think makes the sound quality better than on a lot of models that have started to hide them.

The only thing that really got to me, was the fact that there is no audio output via a standard audio cable (only an input). It has an optical output to connect to a external amp, though most new surround systems use coax, except LG's own (which I do not have).
