lg 2010 plasma, lcd and led tv line leaked on fcc website
I was buzzing around over on the FCC website today looking at some recent filings, when what did I come upon but a virtual goldmine of spanking new flat-panel displays on the way from LG in early 2010.
From the looks of this manual, as well as a number of devices recently submitted on the site, LG plans on a major refresh of their display line, with 21 new display models mentioned on the front cover, along with a couple of others I managed to scrounge up. The new models include:
- LCD TVs: 32LD550, 42LD550, 46LD550, 60LD550, 52LD550, 47LD650 and the 55LD650
- LED-lit LCD TVs: 22LE5300, 26LE5300, 42LE5400, 47LE5400, 55LE5400, 42LE5500, 47LE5500, 55LE5500, 60LE5500, 42LE7500, 47LE7500, 55LE7500, 47LE8500 and 55LE8500
- Plasma TVs: 50PK750 and 60PK750
With displays ranging from 22″ to 60″, it looks like there’s something for everyone coming out. That 60″ LED/LCD sure sounds nice to me. Woot! The shot below shows a rather unsexy photo of the sexy top-of-the-line LED LCD model, the 55LE8500. Check out how skinny it is. Looks about as thin as Samsung’s super slim LED LCDs…
There’s also a couple of smaller LED lit LCD models which might be nice in a bedroom or used as computer displays – the 22LE5300 and the 26LE5300, pictured below:
And here’s a decidedly unflattering shot of the ginormous 60″ plasma, the 60PK750:
Further examination of the manuals reveal that at least some of the sets will include internet connectivity (although it looks like wireless still requires an add-on dongle), along with Yahoo! widgets and digital streaming of movies from Netflix, Vudu and YouTube. There’s also the ability to view content from your Picasa albums.
If you’re in the market for a new flat-panel, you might want to wait a few weeks to hear when these will be released and how much they’ll cost. I’m assuming that LG will provide more details at the upcoming CES show in early January.

I hope TV manufacturers come up with a cheaper line of HDTVs that has basically the same display quality but stripped of the internet connectivity and the other related features. For now I just want a box with a good display, that’s it. I get the feeling though that companies are tacking on feature after feature to their TVs to justify their prices. Dammit.
Not all of these models will have the Internet features, so the prices will continue to drop on the lower-end sets. I will make a prediction now that you’ll be able to get SOME (bottom of the line) 42 inch LCD sets for as little as $299 by this time next year.
Hi,
great post. It helped me a lot. I’m doing a personal research in this theme led tv in different languages. In English this is a good post. In portuguese I recommend the site http://www.tvledinfo.com.br
have a nice day
Its quite a big new range from LG, theres also said to be 47″ and 55″ top of the range infinia LE9500 models which are 3D ready and LED backlit 2010 LG LED TVs
Seems that everyone is pushing the 3D theme, but will it catch on for home users?
I’m not a huge fan of LG as I heard the sound isn’t that great. I’d stick with Samsung. I bought the Samsung UE40B7020 and it’s a thing of beauty. I’d definitely buy Samsung again. Anyone who comes to my house is more than impressed with this beast!
I am a firm believer that LED will become the reigning technology.
