LG is Awesome, Or: LG Announces LED LCD TV Line
September 12, 2009 by Derek
Blog Coolest Gadgets has posted a new article that has us pretty excited: LG is announcing the Fall release of their new LED LCD line of HDTVs, and the stats and specs have us drooling. It looks like they’ll be some big competition for our living room space this Fall for sure.
Here’s a piece of the article:
Making a splash at CEDIA 2009, the new SL90 series of HDTVs from LG will come in 42? and 47? sizes, where they both will feature LED lighting and other stunning display technologies.
A special film lamination technology is used for better color tuning, gradation and reduction of glare, where it is all squeezed into a sleek, minimalist package. The flat surface is achieved by the lamination process, where it virtually does away with the visible line between the screen and the bezel whenever no power is supplied to the set.
Sporting a maximum depth of just 1.5?, LG’s SL90 series’ usage of the LED LCD screen will produce an extremely high dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1 that results in ever truer blacks (this is where the philosophical question of whether truth is relative or not can be answered) and finer gradations between grays. Apart from that, the film lamination process adds anti-glare properties to the screen by reducing distracting reflections so that anyone who views it will always enjoy a cinema-quality experience.
Consider us sold. Prices are fairly reasonable too, with $2,099 and $2,599 being the prices for 42″ and 47″ respectively.
