LG 60PV250

         This is a review of the LG 60PV250 60-Inch 1080p TruSlim Frame Plasma TV. I did not purchase this from Amazon (Black Friday deal elsewhere for $799). The screen is beautiful, but I've had it out of the box for 1 day and am no expert. What I can address is the lack of information on inputs. If you search for this model in google, you will find the Australian version, not the same. This TV has the following inputs: 
Back: 
HDMI/DVI 1 and 2 
RGB IN (VGA) 
Component 1 and 2 
AV IN 1 (Composite plus Audio L&R) 
Optical Digital Audio Out 
Audio IN (RGB/DVI) 3.5mm 
Remote Control IN 3.5mm 
Side (points to side, but usable for back): 
HDMI/DVI 3 
AV IN 2 (Composite plus Audio L&R)

           If you've come across this at a big box store or here on Amazon and are doing research, you may find that information on this TV is pretty hard to find. Even the LG website doesn't acknowledge its existance. So it must be something they make specifically for big box stores and don't want to bother dealing with themselves. That doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy when I think about how their customer service on this unit might be. But then again, who needs customer service on a TV? And if it's deffective, one big box store includes a 2 year warranty. Anywho, the reason I am writing this is to help you find the owner's manual so that you can get a real look at the specs. It turns out that the owner's manual for the 60PV450 covers this model too. So if you go to LG's web site, and either search for or navigate to the 60PV450, you can click on the product support page and find the owner's manual there. I hope this helps.

Oh yeah, this model does not support any of the new "Smart TV" features like streaming Internet content or surfing the web. There is no wired Ethernet or wireless (WiFi) connectivity. But what do you expect at this price? Besides, most blu-ray players do that anyway.
