LG reveals array of Xcanvas Scarlett LCD HDTVs in Korea

Just in case those wood-framed Xcanvas LCD TVs weren't exactly your style, LG is hoping to please you still with a new line that looks a touch more traditional. The so-called Scarlett series spans from 32- to 52-inches in size, with all but the smallest sporting a Full 1080p resolution. Each set comes doused in black with dark red accents and features "invisible" speakers, a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, HDMI 1.3 and a 4-millisecond response time. Granted, these suckas don't exactly check in cheap, as you'll be looking at 1.45 million won ($1,534) for the 32-incher and a staggering 5 million won ($5,290) for the 52-inch 52LG60FD.

Couldn't care less about the TV. What is the phone number of this gorgeous lady ?

Indeed! Even with the sneer (what's up with that?), that's one of the more attractive models that LG has ever used. Damn it, I just bought a new, LG 47" LCD TV a few months ago. Why wasn't she included with it? I hate LG now.

What's with the woman in the picture. Is she suppose to look sexy or irritated? To me she looks the latter.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 15th 2008 10:47AM]

Both -- and she succeeds.

Haha, it looks like a big iMac. That frame is ridiculously big for a modern TV. Come on LG!

They couldn't get Scarlett Johansson?

Gotta love those Koreans using models to show off their electronics. Damn, this picture is hot. Especially how she teases us with just a few square inches of her right thigh.

That LG panel looks like CHEAP UBER SH*T.

Samsung also can't make quality looking electronics - all their stuff looks like cheap garbage, although they usually function above average.

Americans (Xbox, Ford, GM, Chrysler) and Koreans (everything) have horrible design skills. Japan is the best i.e. Sony, Honda.

another comment...

"50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio"

This equates to essentially 700:1 ANSI CR...just absolutely HORRIBLE panel spec...then again, all LCDs perform around the same low crap CR.

Wow, haven't seen HDpurist trolling in here for some time now.

So...I take it there won't be a series ON television named Scarlet? Rather, a series of televisions named Scarlet. Hm, so now I'd like to know what the producers of Smallville and Supernatural have to do with this new line of televisions.

They undoubted got their pockets lined to participate in a "viral" ad campaign. Bleh.

Yeha the whole thing apparently cost 100 million to pull off.

I just saw the interview with the actress who played Scarlet in character here: http://www.lg-scarlet.com/lg-scarlet-tv-adverts.html

It's funny to think she was completely faking that whole interview
