LG to Release New SL80 and LED-Backlit SL90 HDTVs Starting Next Month

LG has just revealed its latest LCD HDTVs that are scheduled to make an appearance starting next month (August). The LG SL80 LCD HDTVs have 240Hz technology, old-school CCFL backlighting which means only a 300,000:1 contrast ratio and it measures 1.8-inches thick. The LG SL80 will come in 42, 47, and 55-inches and will be available in August for $1,599 USD, $1,899 USD, and $2,799 USD, respectively. We don't know exactly when they will be available though.

LG also showed off higher-end SL90 LCD HDTVs too. These, on the other hand, are LED-backlit, which makes for a crisper and brighter picture. These HDTVs have: a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 120Hz TruMotion technology and it measures only 1.15-inches thick. The SL90 is going to hit the market later this year for an unknown price, but it will be available in both 42 and 47-inches.
