LG offers full Scarlet sight and sound experience

Philip Wong | May 05, 2008

If you've already set your sights on an LG Scarlet HDTV, do consider going all out by pairing it with the companion HT953TV home theater system. Tuned by audio expert Mark Levinson, the 1,000W 5.1-channel kit not only bears the series' signature lighted cutout, it's also sports Touch Lighting. This technology is said to boost backlit touch-sensitive controls that "literally follow the users' fingers" (according to LG, of course).
We knew it's all about high-fashion design when it comes to lifestyle products. However, there's more than meets the eye beneath that curvy and glossy shell. As with all new 2008 home theater entries, it will upscale DVD to 1080p video quality. In addition, the HT953TV has USB, iPod and analog mini-jack (think earphone plug) inputs which enable music playback from just about any multimedia player under the sun.

Priced at S$1,599 (US$1,152.68), the HT953TV will be available in Asia end this month.
