LG Unveils Frameless Plasma

It seems TV bezels and frames are the target of the guys at LG. First we had a red frame and now we have a no-frame plasma! Following the announcement of the launch of 5 new models in the Plasma category, LG is all set to introduce the world's first frameless Plasma TV i- The LG PG61.

The PG61 which resembles a seamless black sheet of glass is a unique combination of frameless design and viewing experience. I must say that this seems like a nice product, plus it as won some awards at CES 2008. This launch brings in the market the first TV to incorporate single-layer technology, completely eliminating the usual screen border. The speakers are invisible, like in the Scarlet series.

The connectivity is high with 3 HDMI ports, SIMPLINK convenience and USB 2.0 connectivity. One can playback DivX/XviD/AVI/MPG/MPEG/MPE movie files, MP3 audio files and open jpeg photographs on the big Plasma screen through USB connectivity.

V Ramachandran, Director- Sales and Marketing, LGEIL said, "This is one of the premium and unique series of LG in association with Mark Levinson, which accentuates the beauty of the product, eliminating traditional speaker drivers and associated grills. LG's concept of Life's Good is a promise which LG always tries to fulfill through its products. To live up to the expectations of today's modern consumers in term of innovation, design and technology LG always believes in delivering the best."

There was no mention of a price in the release, though we will get a review piece soon, so watch this space...
