LG's PG7000 Plasma Set For July Release, Features Infinite Blacks (The Latest HDTV Buzzword?)

If you've been looking for an "infinite contrast" HDTV lately, your choices have been limited to Pioneer and Dolby, both still working with prototype models. But LG is the latest TV maker to jump on the infinite black bandwagon with their upcoming July release--the LG7000 plasma HDTV. Infinite blacks have been tough to achieve as plasma cells tend to emit light even when they're not in use. Any leaked light and so much for your perfect black. But at CES earlier this year, Pioneer showed off a prototype plasma that leaked no light at all. Now it seems "infinite contrast ratio" will be the next big TV buzzword, and we're guessing by next year all the big manufacturers will have infinite contrast HDTV's on the market. Whether or not LG uses the same technology as Pioneer isn't known, but irregardless we're looking forward to this model's release.
