LG Brings Back the CRT
Jan 25, 2010 - By Chris Weiss
With all the talk of 3D television and ultra-slims, it’s easy to forget where we came from. Luckily, LG is committed to reminding us of those not-so-long-ago days of lugging huge, boxy CRTs up and down flights of stairs and around the home.
Complete with rabbit ears, the LG Serie 1 Retro Classic TV is a retro-chic throwback to the CRT days of yesteryear. With looks straight out of the 1960’s, this one is sure to bring back nostalgia for the days of classic television programs like The Twilight Zone and Batman. It’s hard not to fall in love all over again with its boxy shape, manual dials, chrome legs and colorful styling.
You’ll forget all about 1080p (at least for a few minutes) while enjoying either black-and-white, sepia or color picture on the 14-inch TV. The television provides a 4:3 picture.
Unfortunately, this retro-release is Korea-only. It’s priced at 249,000 KRW or around $216 and comes in orange or brown. [technabob via CrunchGear]
