Throw away your pesky 120hz/240hz/480hz TV. Forget Pioneer's Kuro's (now discontinued) 96/100hz and DLP's 144hz.

Get the real stuff.

And screw DCI's 2000:1 sequential contrast. How about one billion to 1 (1,000,000,000:1)?

The LG PQ60D set has just been unveiled by the firm in Korea and it not only boasts an unbelievable 1,000,000,000:1 contrast ratio, but has a 600Hz frame refresh rate too.

The 60PS70 has just come out in Korea with 600hz too.

LG Korea presents the new X-Canvas 50-inch 50PS70 and 60-inch 60PS70 plasma HDTVs. Each of them is equipped with a 160GB hard drive and includes the Time Machine DVR system. These plasma TVs offers 600Hz frame rate and Mega contrast ratio. They offer USB 2.0

Disclaimer: I know a lot of those numbers are more marketing than anything else. But comes to show the ever-improving home a/v market.

That's not a huge hard drive, but I assume users will be able to upgrade easily.

Are they selling a commercially available product or are they merely throwing a lot of money down the toilet for some sort of technological bragging rights?
