LG Powered Up at the Starting Gate of the Slimmer Than Slim LCD Race
By Carl Weiss
Editor’s Note– here’s the third and final big announcement from LG for today. We’ll keep you posted on the latest and greatest breaking news as it hits CES 2009 in Las Vegas.
The race toward the world’s slimmest TV is clearly underway. One of the latest contenders out of CES is LG’s LHX series which weighs in at a mere .97-inch width. On your mark….
The LHX features a backlit LED screen that is said to offer a sharper, tighter picture than other slimmed down sets that use edge lighting. You’ll get 240 Hz worth of picture sure to accurately mimic real life action. The LHX saves bulk by placing circuitry elsewhere, in a media box that wirelessly streams a 1080p HD signal to the screen. The box also serves to cut out some of the unsightly wiring associated with HD sets. Beautiful, lifelike picture, uber-slim profile, 1080p, 240 Hz, 55 inches—what more can you possibly need? LG also unveiled the LH90, which is filled to the brim with the same LED/240 Hz tech of the LHX, but in a bulkier package sans media box. Pricing/availability information not yet announced.
