LG shines beyond mobile to TV

If you're having a time hard differentiating the picture quality from one brand to another, you are not alone here. It's coming to the point where most panels have near-identical visuals, more than passable to the layman and couch potato. So what better way to stand out from the crowd than giving the TV an all-round shiny treatment which works wonders for ladies? It's a tried-and-proven formula first tested by Samsung despite the dreadful fingerprint smudges and dust accumulation.

To boost its aesthetics, the LB9 also features a rather unique ring-shaped stand and wave-inspired bezel design. The former comes in either black or red, currently available only for its 32-inch models at no extra cost. Pretty face aside, it features a highly sought-after Super-In Plane Switching LCD panel. This offers a promising 10,000:1 dynamic contrast, ultra-fast 5ms response time and an industry-leading 178-degree viewing angle, almost similar to its LC7 less a brighter 500cd/m2 lumens.

The 32- and 42-incher will be released in Singapore next month at S$2,299 (US$1,664.86) and S$4,499 (US$3,258.02), respectively. This will be followed by another subsequent September launch for the living room-centric 47-inch model. Relevant details for the rest of Asia were not available at press time.
