LG 26LG40, LG 32LG40 LG50 Series The LG50 series are the entry level 1080p LCDs from LG for 2008/2009. The full HD resolution and larger available sizes set the 37LG50, 42LG50, 47LG50 and 52LG50 apart from the previouslt mentioned lines. 24hz "real cinema" processing and a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio are other step ups.

LG 47LG75 New from LG for 2009 LG LHX Series The LHX series is less than one inch deep. Apparently this model will come with an accompanying set top box which houses the units processing boards. The 2009 CES honoree continues the ultra thin tradition of the LG 47LGX from the end of 2008. The 120Hz processing included on the previous model is still present but is presented in the form 240Hz TruMotion – which is based on a technology that gives you an effective 240Hz, but not a factual 240Hz.
LG 55LHX LG LH90 Series The LH90 series is a line of high end LCDs from LG for 2009. These TVs are 1080p panels that boast 240Hz TruMotion processing and a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio.
