LG Unveils Thin Plasma TVs

LG, South Korea’s third largest conglomerate that produces electronics, chemicals, and telecommunications products and the world’s second largest LCD maker unveiled two new HDTVs that boasts a very thin outer frame. Based on the picture shown below, these sets may be one of the thinnest out in the market today.

The plasma sets, dubbed the “Skinny Frame” range, are available in 50- and 60-inch screen sizes. Both of the sets pack in three HDMI ports, USB connectivity options, and a refresh rate of 600Hz. The new 1080p TVs get their thin name because of the slim screen border that measures just under one inch (25mm) thick.

LG is currently selling the new plasma screens in Korea only, at costly prices of 1,700,000 and 3,800,000 Wons (around $1500 and $3,300, respectively).
