The LG Ultra Slim TV might have caused gadget fans to swoon here in Vegas, but it’s the news that the Korean tech superstar is plotting a stack of Freeview HD friendly TVs that’s really got us going out here at CES.
LG says that with a summer chock full of sport, from Wimbledon to the World Cup, it’s planning on loading up 50 per cent of all its TVs with Freeview HD. That means you won’t need to pay a penny extra to see England crash out in pathetic fashion in South Africa or Andy Murray slink out of the All England Championships early doors.
Freeview HD: Everything you need to know
LG says Freeview HD will land in its LE 8900, LE 7900 and LE 5900 LED TVs, with the LCD LD 790 and LD 690 also playing nice. Plasma fans can grab the PK 590, PK 790 or PK 950. All models will be available in April.
So as soon as Freeview HD hits your area, it looks like LG is going to be the go to gadget company if you want gratis hi-def.
