A glitter affair at LG's Pan-Asian Family Festival
Flashy
models are clearly no longer sufficient as LG flew in the country's
most popular Korean actress, Lee Young Ae, to grace its 2006 Pan Asian
Family Festival. Hailed by the company as a cultural extravaganza, the
event showcased its latest cutting-edge products to over 800 trade and
media representatives from seven Asia-Pacific countries.
Spread within the Swissotel The Stamford (Singapore) hotel ballroom was
a roundup of LG's past and present digital audio-visual devices and
appliances. The dazzling ensemble included its 102-inch prototype
plasma TV, award-winning LCD TVs and home theater systems, steam
washing machines, SpacePlus refrigerators, Super Multi data storages,
and what the company claimed to be the world's slimmest UMTS music
phone.
Topping the scale in size and resolution was its 71PY10G plasma TV
dressed in premium gold finish. This mammoth features a generous
71-inch panel measuring 1,750 x 982mm with an unbelievably slim 98mm
depth. The set is also futureproofed with native ultra-HD resolution
compatible with 1080p videos and comes with a comprehensive suite of
A/V inputs ranging from HDMI to DVI, to a pair of HD-ready
component-video inputs.
For
those home video-recording aficionados in search of a convergent
audio-visual solution, LG is offering its 42PC1RR digital video
recorder-equipped plasma TV. This 42-incher's feature set includes a
high 10,000:1 contrast ratio plasma panel, built-in 80GB hard drive and
live TV time-shift capability. The latter enables users to pause,
rewind and replay live TV programs much like the Live TV function
offered by StarHub's Smart TV service.
