Following hot on the heels of Pioneer last week, LG has just announced its latest plasma TVs, inspired by the look of its slinky Chocolate phone.

There’s the 50in HD-ready PB65 and the 60in 1080p Full HD PF95, sporting the kind of thin, minimalist looks the phones have done so well with and glowing red LED lights. Whether that really matters on something this big is debatable but it’s there for the fashion set.

Still, at under 10cm thick, this PF95 is a thin Full HD plasma that uses LG XD Engine Full HD Image Processor for 1 x 1 pixel matching. The 50in model measures less than 9cm. Contrast comes in at a good 15000:1 – albeit lower than Pioneer’s stunning 20000:1 for the new Full HD models.

The TVs also support LG SimpLink which, like Sony’s Bravia Theatre Sync, allows different LG home cinema kit to be controlled using one remote control. There’s also new 37in, 42in and 47in models too. More details on price and features as I get them.-Martin Lynch
