  • And over on the right, there is what appears to be a washing machine and dryer. Looking forward to hearing more about those!
    by Casey Newton
  • To the right, in true "we make everything" fashion, is an LG washer dryer set. I have no idea how it relates to last year's models, but it does have a lot of stainless steel.

  • LG starts this event early every year as a test of journalists' loyalty to the consumer electronics industry.

    by bilbo

    by David Katzmaier

  • Yes, that's pretty much every TV in that post. I expect them to have a couple of surprises though.
    by David Katzmaier
  • The room is quickly filling up. It's jam-packed with journalists. Some indie rock is playing softly in the background.

    by peter brewer
  • LG never makes their better tv's in a 60 or 65
    by Aaron B
  • That projector was one of my favorite things I saw beforehand. Short throw, very bright, cool technology with a 100-inch screen.
    by David Katzmaier
  • The lights are starting to dim here in the conference room at Mandalay Bay.
