LG begins selling thin-CRT TV
LG.Philips has begun selling their previously announced slim-CRT TV, a 32-inch model with a roughly 14-inch tube. Currently available only in Korea, the TV goes for about $1,400, a hefty premium over even a high-end "flat tube" TV, but still much cheaper than a comparable plasma display. More — and thinner — models are expected later this year from both LG and Samsung. We'll have to wait and see if U.S. prices end up being lower than those in Korea, given that you can already get a 30-inch LCD for about $1,500.
