CES 2009: LG intros Blu-ray-based home cinema systems: HB954PB and HB354BS
Apologies for the woefully tiny images. I'm waiting on higher resolution ones, but for now hopefully you get the general idea (with your magnifying glass, at least)
LG has announced two new home cinema systems with integrated Blu-ray player. The highlight for audiophiles is that both units have been tuned by Mark Levinson, so the listening results should be very good.
The units are designed for smaller rooms (just as well given that most people don't live in homes with huge rooms) but pack a huge punch sound-wise. They rely on virtual surround sound to fill the room, meaning less cost and no need for additional speakers dotted around the room. Purists will cringe, but the average home cinema system will do just fine with them.
As per LG's latest standalone Blu-ray player, both units offer full audio decoding and BD Live functionality. The units are also iPod compatible, should you feel the need to plug in that device.
Both will be available in the UK from May, with pricing and full specifications to be confirmed.
