LG has launched a new HDTV which is only 25mm thick in South Korea. Dubbed as "Skinny Frame," this HDTV is available in two sizes: 50" and 60".
Technical features of the LG Skinny Frame plasma television include 1080p resolution with a 600Hz refresh rate for clear images, automatic contrast adjustment based on lighting conditions, and the ability to play photos and videos from a connected USB drive.
