IFA 09: LG Debuts Borderless LED TVs

LG Electronics unveiled new home entertainment products at the 2009 IFA in Berlin.

LG’s theme for this year is Live Borderless, is reflected in its BORDERLESS TVs, which appear to be a single, uninterrupted sheet of glass. These are the first TVs to completely eliminate the seam between the screen and the surrounding bezel.

LG is introducing two BORDERLESS TVs, the SL8000 and SL9000.

The SL9000 LED TV has a dynamic fine contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1. Other features include Bluetooth and HD DivX compatibility.

Beneath the SL8000’s beautiful exterior hides a top-end Full HD 1080p SuperIPS panel, which can be finely tuned using LG’s Expert Mode. TruMotion 200Hz ensures that fast onscreen action is always super sharp and a dynamic fine contrast ratio of 150,000:1 gives the TV amazing clarity. LG’s exclusive Intelligent Sensor reduces energy consumption, helping make both TVs friendlier to the environment.

LG was able to create these super-slim smooth TVs by using a new Injection Compression Molding technique, which creates a sleek, uninterrupted glasslike surface. Special laminate films reduce glare and improve picture quality.
