LG Electronics releases world's thinnest LCD TV
By Tony Chang
SEOUL, May 7 (Yonhap) -- LG Electronics Co., South Korea's No. 2 consumer electronics maker, said Wednesday it has released the world's slimmest liquid-crystal display (LCD) television.
LG's 42LG61 model, dubbed the Scarlet Super Slim, is a high definition LCD television with a thickness of 44.7 millimeters, thinner by half than the company's slimmest previous offering of 105 millimeters, the company said.
It was awarded the Innovation 2008 Award at the International Consumer Electronics Show held earlier in the year.
The model, with an ultra-slim deep chassis and internally built-in invisible speakers, is sold at a suggested retail price of 2.5 million won (US$2,454).
South Korea is the world's largest maker of high-end televisions, with LG Electronics ranking as the No. 2 seller of televisions in the world last year, with a market share of 11.4 percent, next to Samsung Electronics Co., according to market researcher DisplaySearch.
