LG's flagship PS8000 Plasma series for 2009 includes technology for smoother more natural frame-to-frame transitions, 600Hz 'Smooth Motion'.

600Hz 'Smooth Motion' increases the rate at which the plasma pixels refresh to improve High Definition motion tracking. It is worth noting that the figure is not directly comparable to an LCD refresh rate.

The 50in and 60in panels also come with THX certification. THX display certification has been designed to set a benchmark for flat panel display performance, driving quality in manufacturing and helping consumers to simplify their buying decisions.

The PS8000 series will feature "THX Media Director" which has been designed to simplify operation, ensuring optimised settings, the goal being to deliver a realistic entertainment experience, just as the director intended. THX Media Director enables movies, music and other digital content to transfer optimized picture and sound settings to other compatible AV devices, dynamically configuring them for playback.

Once again breaking new ground with the styling of their flat panel TV's, LG have produced a panel which features a unique single-layer design that gives the appearance of a single pane of glass.
