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.”
