LG Unveils Its First LCoS HDTV

LG Electronics took the wraps off its initial foray into Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) technology at the CEDIA EXPO in Indianapolis this past weekend, unveiling a 71-inch behemoth (model number 71SA1D). According to the company:

"This HDTV includes LG's proprietary XD Engine technology that takes low-resolution analog signals to near high-definition levels, providing consumers with better overall picture quality and viewing experience. Advanced connectivity options include HDMI, IEEE-1394 DTV Link. Other advanced features include 9-in-2 memory card slots and the latest Gemstar TV Guide Onscreen interactive program guide.

"Boasting a 3500:1 contrast ratio, the big LG is designed to deliver superior HDTV performance using the latest LCoS chip technology. And, despite its enormous wide screen, the unit is less than 22 inches deep, offering installation flexibility."
