help with a new HDTV

hey all, im interested in getting a new 60" 1080p tv

what do u all make of theLG 60PS7000 ...in the uk its going for around £1700 which is pretty decent price compared to most other brands making similar screen sizes, which others would u recommend?

also the refresh rate on this LG is 600hz!!...necessary?..i heard of new tvs with 100-120hz but 600!?!?...and 2,000,000:1 D contrast ratio..higher than most other brands

thanks for all the help

It's a decent TV...

The 600hz is the sub-fields not the refresh rate: the TV runs at 60 hz and has 10 sub-fields per frame which equals 600 sub-fields a second (600hz)....sub-fields are basically how many times the pixels get charged....and in the case of plasma they are charged several times a frame.

For the most part the 600hz number is a bit misleading and doesn't really effect picture quality that much.

you fell for marketing.

in addition to what the guy before said, under most lighting conditions a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio isn't visible, so unless you have a room with absolutely no light you won't see all the whitest whites, and you won't see the blackest blacks

thanks a lot guys for clearing that up, im guessing the 600Hz thing also applies to the new Panasonic Line?
