1.2-inch Super Slim, Wireless and LED Backlight Models Lead LG Innovations
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2008 – LG Electronics today unveiled its stylish 2008 LCD HDTV line – eight series,
25 models, 16 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 1.2-
inch thin LCD, a unique wireless HDTV and a series with LED backlight 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-colored back and round
aperture with LED light, the flagship 1.2-inch thin LG60 Super Slim Series 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 without sacrificing sound quality.
What’s more, LG’s new “Clear Voice” technology provides high-quality dialogue even when background
noise swells by automatically enhancing the sound frequency range of the human voice. 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 Center).
