troy1503559669 Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Most of the new line up of LG's new HD capable TV's will have HD Tuners built in.
troy1503559669 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Posted June 9, 2004 Well just spoke to a rep from LG and was informed that there new line up of HD capable TV's has a chip (roughly 3cm wide x 3cm long and about a millionth of a mm high) built in that is a HD digital tuner. So no need for the HD box externally.
DannyR Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Well that would be fantastic, I just looked up the US LG site and they don't even sell CRT TV's in the US by the looks of it, so its strange they would go to the trouble of releasing iHDTV sets here. Samsung now has a big range of CRT iHDTV sets in the US. Danny.

I believe LGs US subsidiary Zenith make integrated HD CRT TVs.
troy1503559669 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Posted June 9, 2004 Can't guarantee that they are going to be available on the CRT technology TV's, rep showed me on the RPTV = LCD and DLP.
troy1503559669 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Posted June 9, 2004 Theres a new 60" LCD that replaces the MW60SZ12 which is Anti Glare finish instead of the cinema gloss finish. Theres a 44" LCD. Theres a 52" & 62" DLP. Due July.
digitaladvisor Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 At last. As far as I am concerned analogue tuners in these monster sets are virtually useless and not even worth watching. Da
betty boop Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Most of the new line up of LG's new HD capable TV's will have HD Tuners built in. Hooray!......So does that include plasmas ? - that would be a first for a flat panel I think to have a integrated HD digital tuner. should help on the uptake of these units and hopefully bring down the price.
troy1503559669 Posted June 10, 2004 Author Posted June 10, 2004 Rep couldn't tell me whether they would have the new plasmas with the HD digital tuners built in or not.

Danny. LG sells CRT TV's in US under Zenith name, which is wholly owned by LG. Here is the link to Zenith website which shows their CRT's with built in OTA and digital cable tuners. http://www.zenith.com/home_flash.asp?flash=true
