LG announces 2008 HDTV technology innovations

Korean manufacturer, LG, plans to focus on three main technological areas of development in 2008 - super slim 1.7in LCD, wireless HDTV, and new LED backlighting technology.

The elegant LG75 series will be launched in 2008, featuring a 1.7in, super-slim design, and a high-gloss black finish with a unique rose red tint.

The LG75’s LED backlight is partitioned into 128 light-emitting diodes. This allows local dimming to reach quickly to changing images, providing reduced energy consumption.

Other features of the LG75 include Full HD, TruMotion 120Hz technology, backlight technology, wireless connectivity, Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 1,000,000:1, 24p TruCinema, 4 HDMI inputs (v1.3), Deep Colour, and a USB 2.0 jack for viewing JPEG photos or listening to MP3 music files.

The LG71 series will also make its debut in 2008. The LG70 comes in 47in and 52in models, with a built-in 802.11n Wireless System. A separate wireless transmitter provides a 50-foot radius, allowing greater flexibility in positioning peripheral items.
