Just
in case you forgot, LG would like you to know that yes, you can watch that foot-centric brand of football on a brand
new
LG
LCD display. They'd also like you to know that you'll have way more friends this June when the FIFA World Cup rolls
around if you buy one of their new X-Canvas displays with 8ms response times, 5000:1 contrast ratios, and 250GB hard
drives. Sadly, there's no word on resolution or model numbers, but we can only hope they'll keep up with the rest of
the specs. The new displays come in 32 and 47-inch flavors, at $3340 and $4280 respectively. They seem to be Korea-only
for now, but we're sure LG would love to help us USofA-ers get our "soccer" on as well.

Joe Smith, I think that guy is Myung-Bo Hong, the greatest defensive player in Asian soccer history. If he is not, then he looks awfully like him.

Since it has a hard drive and inputs, do you think it'll be possible to copy digital pictures to this unit and display them in HD? Would certainly be a nice feature. Anyone know if any TV units have this capability, or are we still looking at buying a stand alone peripheral unit?

Hey, now can someone tell me: Who's going to broadcast the World Cup in HD in the USA???
K-Balls @ Apr 6th 2006 4:13PM
#5 - All games will be available in HD in the US on either ABC, ESPNHD or ESPN2HD. The problem for most is getting your cable system to add ESPN2HD.
ABC is showing a handful of games, including some weekend matches and the final.

Antonio Banderas would never wear a pink shirt, not even the asian version. Bet he cooks a mean bowl of shrimp fried rice though,
