Swarovski-studded LG 47LB90FD LCD HDTV makes grand entrance

LG's Xcanvas line of LCD HDTVs look mighty sexy as-is, in our humble opinion, but we're certain a little extravagance can't hurt. The 1080p 47LB90FD has a surprisingly sparkly base that's doused in Swarovski crystals, and as you can likely glean, it'll only be released in limited quantities. Sadly, the nitty-gritty details on this thing are few and far between, but when you're talking about a ritzy ?3.3 million ($3,204) HDTV, who needs a contrast ratio?

I believe the word is "tacky"

[Dian @ Jun 11th 2008 3:51PM]

garish would be an even better one

[Mile @ Jun 11th 2008 1:53PM]

Better not be blood diamonds!

[Rafer @ Jun 11th 2008 1:54PM]

Id like to stud her.

[Low Ranked @ Jun 11th 2008 2:17PM]

Uh, she looks awkwardly skewed.

The photographer is too tall...

[Zane @ Jun 11th 2008 1:58PM]

Ugh, they should have zoomed in a bit. :P

[BradS @ Jun 11th 2008 1:58PM]

Looks like a crystal-studded codpiece like you'd see in a Mad Max movie.

[The Angry Intern @ Jun 11th 2008 2:03PM]

there's a TV in that picture?

[FrankTheCrank @ Jun 11th 2008 2:09PM]

If she could only hike up that skirt an incy wincy bit...hot damn!

[nanomatrix @ Jun 11th 2008 2:16PM]

So that's 3,204 for just the tv, lol ... (stupid crystals lol) The us would likely sell it for 3299 or 3199 or 3150... 04 is amusing, I am sure its just conversion rate screwing up the price point and that amount makes sense in their currency.

Thriller Michael Jackson would be proud.

[phanbouy @ Jun 11th 2008 9:15PM]

wow, that's clever. you remind me of that parody by Maddox where he makes fun of the Epic Movie producers: "did you see our new receptionist? id nail the shit out of her. with my dick."

i love my lg tv, but I would love her more

[Rogue_Genius @ Jun 11th 2008 3:10PM]

Great, I see I wasn't the only one who noticed the skewed picture.

But some of you guys need to leave the basement a bit more often and stop drooling over models/human props. Geez...you make the rest of us guys look bad.

[Don @ Jun 11th 2008 3:19PM]

O

[Jay @ Jun 11th 2008 3:32PM]

even if its something that doesnt concern me (tech wise), I compulsively have to click any engadget post featuring an asian woman just to read the comments. I could care less about the actual post.

[nate @ Jun 11th 2008 4:11PM]

Me too. I'd consider it a sign of the end times if one of these posts had more comments about the product then the woman.

[adrianop @ Jun 11th 2008 5:21PM]

a good tip for engadget to go on to increase page views.

[paul-engadget @ Jun 11th 2008 6:47PM]

@jay, you should have said "I couldn't care less...." - you said you could care less which means you care at least somewhat. FAIL!

[neal @ Jun 11th 2008 5:06PM]

SOOOOO if u wanna wall-mount the TV you gotta lose the fancy crystals :S i dont see the point

[gshb @ Jun 11th 2008 5:58PM]

hmm....wall-mount...asian girl in picture....hmm

[paul-engadget @ Jun 11th 2008 6:51PM]

what's the obession with S'ski crystal, and why do people think it's valuable? It's only heavily mineralised glass, it's not diamonds (which incidentally aren't rare and only valuable due to de Beer's manipulation of the markets with the dubious cooperation of various governments).

[albtms @ Jun 12th 2008 8:52AM]

Agreed with the stupid crystal obsession. This is a trend that really needs to stop. Do people really want to spend that much on something like this? Not only is it tacky as hell, it also attracts unwanted attention (which is bad if you don't want your phone stolen). If you really want glass studs that badly, just go shatter some tempered glass.

/me encrusts the prescriptive grammar lemon with Swarovski crystals

I just want to see a lower angle shot.
