LG HDTV flagship revealed, Rubix Cube-like Airplay dock along for the ride
This week we're seeing the 2012 CES Innovation Awards being handed out and newsletters to those attending the conference in the first month of next year are privy to some product launches a bit early in some cases - LG's HDTV range and a lovely cubical iPhone dock are just two examples. What you've got in the televisions are some massively impressive looking models in the LG 55LM8600, the 55LM9600 and the PM9700 Plasma 3D Smart TV, the first in this list being a 55-inch display toting LG's proprietary Nano Full LED technology and an ultra-thin bezel. Next the 8600 model looks to be nearly the same set but without the special Nano Full LED tech, this meaning in the short run a slightly wider bezel around the whole rim.

Plasma HDTV gets snow-quad courier in iced-up UK
With unexpectedly bad weather in the UK delaying flights, prompting untold "pedestrian slips on ice and falls over" videos on YouTube and causing rush-buying of bread and milk of the like unseen since the second World War, it's great to see tech still making it through regardless. A 42-inch LG plasma HDTV made it through the snow to its otherwise cut-off new buyers after retailer Currys enlisted the help of a specialist outdoor delivery courier.

Panasonic 152-inch 4K2K Plasma HDTV
Consider knocking down a non-load-bearing wall (though maybe remortgage your house first): Panasonic have brought an “ultra-large” 152-inch plasma HDTV to CES 2010. The display isn’t just special because of its whopping 4K x 2K resolution but because it’ll also show Full HD 3D as long as you’re wearing the proper glasses. We stopped by Panasonic’s booth to check the monster out.
LG Plasma HDTV CES 2010 range boast super-narrow bezels
In comparison to their huge 2010 LCD range, LG's new plasma HDTVs are conspicuous by their scarcity: the company have announced a mere eight new sets at CES 2010. Among those six, however, are some impressive sounding beasts and some mighty fine design. LG's TruSlim Frame models, for instance, the PK550 and PJ350, have bezels just 0.9-inches wide; all of the 2010 sets are around two-inches deep, too, and LG have shaved off considerable weight as well.
