Will the LG Digital Photo TV have the same slick look as the Scarlet telly?
Check this out: LG just ripped the dustsheets from its latest TV, dubbed the Scarlet (to tie in with the TV show of the same name), it’s one of the world’s thinnest tellies, packs a red-coloured back and soft touch on-off sensor. At just 1.7 inches thin, it’s begging to be wall mounted, and the screen even senses ambient light to adjust its colour and brightness levels. Those adjustments save power too. Up to 62% says LG. Instead of traditional speakers, the new TV packs LG’s invisible speaker system, which incorporates speaker actuators around the entire bezel. Out May | £TBC LG
