LG's Xcanvas Scarlett LCD TV Series Reduces Energy Consumption By 60%, Costs An Arm And Two Legs

A new line of LCD TV's from LG Electronics is impressive. The Xcanvas "Scarlett" series features 5 new models ranging from 32 to 52 inches, colored black with (not entirely surprisingly) scarlet highlights. All of the models feature full 1080p resolution with the exception of the smallest model, 50000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a 4ms response time, a 4 HDMI 1.3 ports. Making sure they're squarely on the green bandwagon, LG has also implemented an energy saving Green EYEQ feature that reduces power consumption by up to 60%. While you can pat yourself on the back for doing your part to save energy with the Scarlett series and undoubtedly would see savings on your electric bill, you can bet the prices of the 5 new models will offset any savings. The 32 inch 32LG60D rings in at the equivalent of US$1534, the 37 inch 37LG60FD at US$2010, the 42 inch 42LG60FD at US$2540, the 47 inch 47LG60FD at US$4233, and the 52 inch 52LG60FD at a whopping US$5291! Don't expect to pay this much anytime soon in the United States though; the Scarlett series is a Korea-only release for the time being.
