LG announce a new 4.5 cm thick TV

Following on from the 42LG6000, Korean company LG is preparing to launch a new television in its Scarlet range.  The 42LG61's strongest feature will be that it is only 4.5 cm thick, but let's hope that this compact size hasn't prevented the manufacturer from including an HD-ready digital tuner, whose absence was an earlier model's major flaw.

The 42LG61 has been advertised as a Full HD panel, with a contrast of 600 000:1, 120 Hz technology and 4 HDMI ports for connecting peripherals.

Despite the commercials that have already begun, both on TV and in cinemas, there has yet to be an official announcement concerning the product's availability or price in France.  We've not found a single stockist, and it's not listed on LG France's website.
