1.7-inch ‘Super Slim,’ Wireless and LED Backlight Models Lead LG Innovations
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2008– LG Electronics today unveiled its stylish 2008 LCD HDTV line – eight series, 24 models, 17 with “Full HD” 1080p display capability – with screen sizes ranging from 19- to 52-inches. The line features multiple design and technological innovations, including a stunningly designed 1.7-inch thin LCD, a unique wireless HDTV and a model with LED backlighting technology.
The new LCD HDTVs combine eye-catching design with enhanced features to deliver superior picture quality and enhanced functionality. With a striking, slim silhouette, red-coloured back and round aperture with LED light, the flagship 1.7-inch thin LGX Super Slim is the epitome of elegance. Styling transcends the line, as series including the LG70, LG71 and LG75, include a unique teardrop design, red color accenting and a “high-gloss” black finish.
A new invisible speaker system further accentuates the beauty of the LCD HDTV line. This unique system incorporates speaker actuators around the perimeter of the entire bezel, eliminating traditional speaker drivers and associated grills. This not only allows for a sleek, finished look, but also offers a wider “sweet spot” by creating a virtual “wall” of sound. What’s more, LG’s new “Clear Voice” technology automatically enhances the sound frequency range of the dialogue even when background noise swells.
But beautiful design is only part of the story. The new LG LCD line also delivers on picture performance. Other advanced features, including TruMotion 120Hz technology, wireless connectivity and Image Science Foundation custom calibration certification (ISFccc) provide more options for consumers seeking premium LCD HDTV performance (Please see separate release on picture quality). LG’s 2008 LCD line is on display at the 2008 International CES® (Booth #8214, Central Hall, Las Vegas Convention Centre).
