LG unveils new slim design LCD HDTVs due this fall

by Richard Lawler posted Jul 30th 2009 at 8:14PM


Sure it's summertime in New York and not January in Las Vegas, but that didn't stop LG from rolling out a couple new lines of LCD HDTVs today. The new SL80 and SL90 models don't bring new high water marks on the spec sheets, but feature LG's take on the "borderless" design trend that's the rage these days, built from a single edge to edge piece of glass with a slim bezel and Invisible Speaker design. The top of the line SL90 is due later this year for an unspecified price range in 42- and 47-inch sizes with LED backlighting contributing to its 3,000,000:1 claimed contrast ratio and 1.15 inch depth, plus 120Hz TruMotion processing. The SL80 line has 240Hz processing, but older CCFL backlighting means a 300,000:1 measured contrast ratio and 1.8-inch thick design, but the 42-, 47-, and 55-inch models will be available this August for $1,599, $1,899 and $2,799, respectively. Want a closer look at LG's new global flat panel design platform? The gallery is right here.

JBL introduces LS series of loudspeakers at CEDIA

by Darren Murph posted Sep 5th 2008 at 2:31PM


It just wouldn't be CEDIA without an announcement from JBL, now would it? This year, the speaker giant is introducing a few newcomers to the minty fresh LS Series: the LS40 bookshelf, LS60 / LS80 floorstanders and the LS CENTER -- wait for it -- center channel. These sophisticated speaks were designed with fashionistas in mind, as they boast curved contours, tapered sides and a high-gloss stained-wood finish. Retail prices on the new crew are expected to range from $999 to $1,999 each, so yeah, don't even think you're getting all that pizazz on the cheap.
