LG seem to be on a innovative roll and following on from the news that they have released their first OLED LCD TV set, they have now announced the release of their high end LED backlit televisions.

The 55 inch TVs are said by LG to have been “designed specifically to target the high-end segment and offer unmatched quality and design” – and at only 24.8mm thick they certainly got the design aspect spot on. LG hope to extend the LED TV sizes available by releasing the slightly thicker in design 4inch 2 and 47 inch LED models by the end of the year.

Working on the prediction that 5 million LED TVs will be sold in 2010, LG are expecting that as much as 40% of the current LCD TV market will shift to LED by 2011.

Simon Kang, the LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company President and CEO said “These new models will change the LED LCD TV market landscape and we expect these devices to reinforce the premium image of LCD TVs in general.”
