David Katzmaier 1/7/2013 3:47:30 PMTo 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.

Casey Newton 1/7/2013 3:48:17 PMLG starts this event early every year as a test of journalists' loyalty to the consumer electronics industry.

David Katzmaier 1/7/2013 3:53:08 PMYes, that's pretty much every TV in that post. I expect them to have a couple of surprises though.

David Katzmaier 1/7/2013 3:59:20 PMThat projector was one of my favorite things I saw beforehand. Short throw, very bright, cool technology with a 100-inch screen.
