In some sort of effort to re-kindle the flames of the dying Plasma species of TV’s LG has launched two new models – the 60PK550 is a 60-inch HDTV and the 50-Inch 50PK550. The two models have been dubbed “Skinny Frame” for rather literal reasons. Both TVs have a 25mm thin border around the panels. This full HD TVs feature 600Hz technology and automatic contrast adjustment that adjust the levels depending on the available light. They will also come with 3 HDMI ports and a USB port which means the TV is capable of reading photos and videos (depending on eth formats). They’re headed for Korea and will set those poor guys back about 1,700,000 Won for the 50-incher and 3,800,000 Won for the 50-inch TV which works out to about $1,500 and $3,325 respectively.
