LG's very slim, very red LGX LCD TV hits the FCC
LG wasn't offering much in the way of a release date when it announced its super-slim (as in 1.7-inch) LGX LCD TV last month, but it looks like it could be coming sooner rather than later, with the set now making its all-important debut at the FCC, which is usually a hint of things to come. As you can see, the set is still as red as ever, if a little less polished than it looked in LG's press photos. Unfortunately, the FCC doesn't have any other surprises to provide, although the curious can get a peek at the set's innards and some other less than flattering photos by hitting up the read link.
LG's 2008 lineup continues with the 42-inch LGX Super Slim 1.7-inch LCD, combining that ultra-thin form factor that's so in vogue with high-tech features like 120Hz, 24p playback capability and ISFccc calibration. LED backlighting and a 15,000:1 contrast ratio bump up the visuals for viewers, while the red-colored back gives your living room wall a show too. The set sports four HDMI 1.3 ports and a USB jack for photos and music, and LG's SimpLink control protocol enables compatible equipment to chain together. Pricing and availability were not announced.
