Swarovski-studded LG 47LB90FD LCD HDTV makes grand entrance

LG's Xcanvas line of LCD HDTVs look mighty sexy as-is, in our humble opinion, but we're certain a little extravagance can't hurt. The 1080p 47LB90FD has a surprisingly sparkly base that's doused in Swarovski crystals, and as you can likely glean, it'll only be released in limited quantities. Sadly, the nitty-gritty details on this thing are few and far between, but when you're talking about a ritzy ₩3.3 million ($3,204) HDTV, who needs a contrast ratio?

I love how in Asia, every TV has a (usually hot) girl standing next to it on press photos.

Swarovski crystals: you know what they are? Glass. Chips of glass. Glass with just the right amount of embedded lead to make it sparkle.

Swarovski crystals are not jewels or precious stones of any kind...they are man-made glass. Why must so many things get covered with them, as though they are some true rarity or luxury?

The people doing this to perfectly good gadgets should stop using the sophisticated-sounding "Swarovski Crystal" trademark, and just call it what it is:

Bedazzling.

They Bedazzled a TV. That's what they did.
