1.7-inches, wireless and LED backlight models lead
LG's designer LCD range

Berkshire, 13 February 2008LG Electronics announces its stylish 2008 LCD HDTV line-up, consisting of 24 models within eight series. Seventeen of the sets have 'HD Ready' 1080p display capability and screen sizes range from 19- to 52-inches. The line features multiple design and technological innovations, including a sleek 1.7-inch thick LCD, a unique wireless HDTV and a model with impressive 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 LG6100 is the epitome of elegance. Styling transcends the line, as series including the LG7000, LG7100 and LG7500, feature a unique teardrop design, red colour accenting and a 'high-gloss' black finish.

A new invisible speaker system further highlights 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 100Hz/120Hz technology, wireless connectivity and Image Science Foundation custom calibration certification (ISFccc), provide more options for consumers seeking premium LCD HDTV performance.
