As well as announcing the LG LU7000 series TV’s, LG also announced 3 other new TV’s named the SL9000, SL8000 and LH9000 LED TV’s at IFA today. Each of the 3 new TV’s offers something new and each of them look fantastic.
The first is the new BORDERLESS SL9000 Edge LED TV. The Edge LED TV has it’s backlight actually around the edges of the screen allowing it to measure just 2.9cm in thickness. The glass on the front of the screen also goes right to the edge sitting flush with the bezel making it a complete smooth panel to hang on the wall. The screen is full HD at 1080p and offers amazing picture quality.
The borderless TV was met with a bit of criticism as there is still a bezel to be seen when the screen is on. However, that is covered by a single sheet of glass the full width of the display. LG’s vision is that they will soon be able to get rid of borders completely and run the image right to the 4 edges of the screen.
* Injection molding provides a very flat screen
* Film laminating, provides a strong scratch free screen
* Cooling, keeping components working better
* Slim speaker, to keep the TV slim
The presentation indicated that sound would be wirelessly transmitted to headphones and that video content would also be wirelessly transmitted and captured from the web from HD services such as Youtube when quality is up to par.
Another question was raised in the presentation over the choice of Bluetooth with it being quite slow and tedious to use. LG are looking in to switching to wireless in next years range of HDTV’s.
Other than the few problems which were highlighted by the audience you have to admit that LG have created some cracking TV’s well worth checking out. They are pushing the boundaries with what they have.
