5th January 2009 11:12 GMT
LG is gunning to make itself one of the tech firms to watch this year, following its release of details concerning an upcoming super telly: the 55in LH9500.
LG's LH9500 is just 24.8mm thick
The LH9500 LCD, which has been spotted by several online sources, is a meagre 24.8mm thick, yet still boasts 1080p and a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Its 240Hz TrueMotion Drive Technology is also 40Hz faster than the frame rate available on Sony’s Z4500 (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/08/28/sony_200hz_motion_plus/) TV.
Although LG hasn’t released the set’s full specifications yet, we do know that DivX HD support is integrated into the set.
It also features a pair of "invisible" speakers that are claimed to provide stunning sound without adding unnecessary bulk to the body.
Although a price hasn’t been released, don’t expect the screen to be cheap. LG’s expected to officially unveil the LH9500 this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. ®
