The V325 also includes a built-in TV Tuner that supports picture-in-picture mode for computing alonside TV viewing.
LG says the new Windows 8 devices announced today will ship alonside new LG Windows 8-powered ultrabooks, notebooks, and desktops along with a new range of touch-screen monitors for existing Windows 7 users purchase if they want to enjoy the touch capabilities of Microsoft’s new OS.
