LG presents two new 2009 plasma series. The 1080p series (PS60, PS80) also features THX Display Certification providing accurate picture reproduction and a more immersive viewing experience.

The THX certification ensures that the new plasma series comply with the high THX standards. LG says that it means very deep blacks comparable to the best displays on the market as well as spot-on colors. 

PS80 series

THX Media Director allows movies, music and other digital media to communicate picture and sound settings directly to other THX Media Director-enabled consumer electronics devices, dynamically configuring them for the best playback experience.
