LG Canada has been good to us at FutureLooks. Back in October, they invited us to down to preview their "Holiday of Style 2006" product lineup. Then, just last month we were able to drool over the new LG Super Blu (BH-100) Blu-ray/HD-DVD Multi-player. Now, they've gone all-out by inviting us down to a special showroom packed with their whole line up for 2007! Here's a quick overview of what we saw and what we think will be HOT in 2007!

Plasma Televisions

LG does much of the same as last year while offering a bunch of improvements to their already solid line of products. The first noticeable improvement was a distinctly slimmer silhouette on their plasma TVs. Now, people who love to revel at the thinness of their TV as much as enjoy the picture quality have something to get even more excited about!

The next thing was probably the best application of a truly "invisible" speaker design that I've seen. The bottom bezel of models like the 50PC5D feature a nicely designed glossy/textured surface that incorporate tiny holes for front-firing speakers. The texture is consistent across the entire bezel that without being told, we would have never know that speakers were even in there!

So, if there were any "buzz words" for 2006, I'm pretty sure many of us would agree that it was "1080p" was on that list. Yes, many of us are now clamouring for higher-resolution TVs because of the effective marketing practices of last year. So what has LG done to meet our need? Well...

Behold the 71PY1M. This is one of LG's three 1080p Plasma models this year, ranging from 50" to 71" sizes.
