LG announced LCD and Plasma HDTVs in Korea that include dual HD tuners and an integrated hard drive. Consumers can either watch two HD channels simultaneously or can watch one HD channel while recording another. The TVs will feature a built-in 160GB hard drive and a USB 2.0 port.
The suggested price in Korea will be between $2,667 and $5,000—depending on the screen size.
LG Electronics to unveil 3-generation time machine TV [Gadget Road via Digg]
I have a 32LT75 which has HD but no USB. In a way it’s the best buy I have made in a long time – it is just super convenient to record DVB programs on the internal hard drive. It does however make me angry that I can’t get any recordings out of the darn thing. It outputs video on the SCART in real time, but if I play a recording the SCART output stops. Why? This is silly.
