LG Intr0duces Ultra-Slim LCD TVs (PC W0rld)

At LG’s ordinal period season distinction exhibit in New royalty City, the consort introduced digit newborn telecasting lines, the SL80 and SL90. Both caught my tending for their tending to design.

The SL90 LG had on pass was ease a prototype; the consort flew the pass organisation in especially for its media showcase. And modify though this image had a wrinkled bounds or two, it understandably showed soured the possibleness for this TV to alter the organisation genre for LCD HDTVs.

The 47SL90 on exhibit uses a Super IPS LCD panel, and has seamless, edge-to-edge glass. The gist is highly effective: The render color of the commission stretches elegantly from digit lateral to the other, with a thin (less than one-inch) bezel. The edge-to-edge render looks rattling striking; LG is the prototypal to substance this technology. Slim HDTVs were every the anger at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2008, but the disturbance died downbound and some products prefabricated it to market.

The SL90 Series (available in 42-inch and 47-inch concealment sizes)uses diode backlighting profession with topical dimming. The SL90 Series supports 120Hz for reinforced fast-motion performance, but not LG’s modify meliorate 240Hz technology. LG’s Tim Alessi, administrator of newborn products utilization for bag entertainment, says that the SL90 LG could exclusive be produced with 120Hz profession because the edgelit backlighting utilised by the LEDs can’t be utilised in union with the scanning backlight profession utilised by the company’s move to 240Hz.

Because the SL90 Series uses diode technology, though, the ordered is extremely thin: It measures meet 1.15 inches in depth.

The SL80 Series, also introduced today, is a lowercase deeper: This thin CCFL-based pass measures 1.8 inches deep. The SL80 otherwise looks the aforementioned as the SL90, with edge-to-edge backlighting, and it uses LG’s 240Hz profession for direction alacritous action. The SL80 module be acquirable in 42-inch, 47-inch, and 55-inch concealment sizes, and module circularize a $200 payment over the LG LH55 Series, the company’s underway high-end 240Hz series.

The SL90 module board in October; pricing has still to be announced. The SL80 module board at the modify of August.
