LG gave HD Guru a sneak peek at its 2013 plasmas and LED LCDs line-up that will debut at the January Consumer Electronics Show. All the 2013 LCDs are lit by LEDs. This is due to the price of the LEDs now hitting parity with CCFL (fluorescent) lamps. Screen sizes range from 22 to 84-Inches. LG also revealed it will have two more UHD TV models with 3840 x 2160 resolution in the 55 and 65-Inch screen sizes to be announced later this year. You can also expect two OLED models, but you may have to wait until Q4 to get see one.
New features on select models for 2013 include “borderless” bezel they call “Cinema Screen” (see photo), a Magic Motion Remote that responses movement (like a Wii remote) along with voice commands such as “go to CBS” or “find action movies” and a dual core processor for faster functionality.
All Smart TV have Internet connectivity for movie streaming for Netflix and other movie services, music streaming and a wide variety of apps including video games and more.
The 2013 models and features appear after the break.
