LG 52LG71 Wi-Fi TV
LG today provided early details of a new HDTV it says is the first to supply a full HD picture while also including Wi-Fi. The 52LG71 will present a 1080p picture like most competing 52-inch sets but incorporates an 802.11 link that pulls HD over a local wireless network; users will not need a separate media hub or an extender to watch their home content, LG says.
Few other details are available for the set, though the screen is likely to incorporate a blur-free 120Hz panel and other technologies that represent the best of LG's technology. A larger announcement is likely to arrive soon but may have to wait until the Consumer Entertainment Show in January for its formal launch.
