LG takes thin to the next level with the 1.7-inch LGX LCD HDTV

LGX Super Slim 42-inch 1.7-inch thick LCDLG's 2008 lineup continues with the 42-inch LGX Super Slim 1.7-inch LCD, combining that ultra-thin form factor that's so in vogue with high-tech features like 120Hz, 24p playback capability and ISFccc calibration. LED backlighting and a 15,000:1 contrast ratio bump up the visuals for viewers, while the red-colored back gives your living room wall a show too. The set sports four HDMI 1.3 ports and a USB jack for photos and music, and LG's SimpLink control protocol enables compatible equipment to chain together. Pricing and availability were not announced.

These units also feature slimmer bezels than those found on Vizio's past sets, and should be available this July for $1,499 and $1,899, respectively.
