LG's WirelessHD LH80 LCD TVs released in Korea

With its 2009 LED-backlit LH90 LCDs already announced, LG has decided its LH80 line should be next up, its first of many -- following Panasonic's lead -- packing a Wireless HD media box to stream any HDMI, USB, or OTA content to the TV. Available in Korea is just this 55-inch model for about 5.1 million South Korean won ($4,008) but you can check out our CES '09 Wireless HD demo for a better look at the box and display while we wait for its LH85 branded U.S. cousin to make an appearance later on this year.

Honestly, whenever Engadget post pictures like these, I am always more interested in the girl next to the big screen...

[OneLove @ May 6th 2009 3:21PM]

just relax and lie down baby...

[afdasd @ May 6th 2009 7:16PM]

She is quite an average. You must be not getting any :)

[loosely_coupled @ May 6th 2009 8:58PM]

yep! I love the Asian models!

[Spiraling Shape @ May 6th 2009 11:19PM]

Is that a huge television or a tiny woman?

[iphonerulez @ May 7th 2009 1:01AM]

Damn, that's some sweet stuff... and the 55 incher ain't bad either.

[Mike @ May 7th 2009 7:53AM]

i've noticed that its mainly Korean products like LG and Samsung. why is that.

[holy_moly112 @ May 6th 2009 2:03PM]

That's a mighty fine.. Model, LG has.. ;)

[BradS @ May 6th 2009 2:06PM]

Yet another flat-panel TV that needs to be propped up by a hot Asian woman (or two). Can't these manufacturers design a decent wife-approved stand for them?

[David @ May 6th 2009 2:10PM]

LOL.... Asian lust for far to many..

[darkmax @ May 6th 2009 2:12PM]

lust for beautiful women, good company, beautiful house, high tech devices.... but most importantly tons of money

[darkmax @ May 6th 2009 2:10PM]

Would you actually prefer to see a handsome guy next to one of these products?!

[tom @ May 6th 2009 2:38PM]

Would you prefer to see a dude in speedo lying on an exotic race car?

[*Just some girl @ May 6th 2009 4:00PM]

Yes.

[Mustaine @ May 11th 2009 7:57AM]

Girl, I will wear my Transformers boxer shorts for you. Exotic cars and underwear all in one.

[Templarian @ May 6th 2009 2:12PM]

That thing could like crush her if it fell forward on those small stands. lol.

[hh83917 @ May 6th 2009 2:16PM]

I'll vouch to rescue her if it did fall... ;-)

[Richard @ May 6th 2009 2:16PM]

The thing that stands out most in the picture is the hideous 1970s style decor of the room. Why has this come back into fashion and who in their right mind is decorating their house like that?

[ash @ May 6th 2009 2:18PM]

What you're actually seeing is an unreleased mid 70's prototype by Emerson. Engadget is just digging up old tech news.

[lawyer bird @ May 6th 2009 2:20PM]

I was busy a little busy looking at the model to notice that horrendous shag carpeting. God, it's like, have you even heard of the 2000s? And those drapes? Gag!

[BradS @ May 6th 2009 2:25PM]

I think she's wearing the drapes.

[Patriks7 @ May 6th 2009 2:46PM]

Wow, you guys are pretty ignorant. And you have no sense for style.

[Pip @ May 6th 2009 3:37PM]

Sorry, Mr. Brady.

[Innocent Bystander @ May 6th 2009 2:22PM]

Ahh... Bear skin rug, sports in high-def, and a hot babe to make you a sandwich... What else could a guy want?

[serge @ May 6th 2009 2:28PM]

two hot babes making you a sandwich?

[MowDownJoe @ May 6th 2009 3:40PM]

Why do they have to be making sandwiches? They're better things they could do for me...

[Kaitou KID @ May 6th 2009 6:01PM]

more like a "two hot babe" sandwich.

i'll be the meat :)

[Jimmy Jones @ May 6th 2009 2:28PM]

That's a lot of skin if you ask me............

[BradS @ May 6th 2009 5:04PM]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[Innocent Bystander @ May 6th 2009 2:37PM]

a two-hot babe sandwich! :o

[Dorf @ May 6th 2009 2:45PM]

She's hot and all, but she needs to get out in the sun or she's gonna get rickets.

[kylehase @ May 7th 2009 12:00AM]

They chose a pale model to exaggerate the screen blackness.

[marco @ May 6th 2009 4:33PM]

Cute girl, but she needs a serious Tan...she will blind you with those legs.

[Seneca @ May 6th 2009 4:42PM]

I didn't know socks caused blindness.

[rony @ May 6th 2009 4:53PM]

You can't blame them...they were too busy staring at her b.. er... .face.

[Blacknimbus @ May 6th 2009 4:59PM]

A tan? Girls in Japan walk around with umbrellas to avoid the sun, not the rain. I'm guessing it's the same in Korea.

[Richard @ May 6th 2009 6:18PM]

Yep. It's kinda crazy the length that asian women will go to avoid the sun. You ever see those visor/sunshield thingies that come down over the face like medical face protection? Crazy.

[loosely_coupled @ May 6th 2009 8:59PM]

Its the lighting... But Asian girls do try to stay white.. its a cultural beauty thing.

[kylehase @ May 7th 2009 12:06AM]

In some cultures paleness is a sign of high social class since laborers from the countryside often become more tanned.

[Richard @ May 6th 2009 6:19PM]

Just hit the link and she's got a little healthier tone.

[tim @ May 6th 2009 9:54PM]

Obviously she's not impressed by the television, she's looking straight at me instead.
