LG Serie 1 TV Goes Retro With CRT
29.01.10
We haven’t covered a CRT mask on Zath for quite a while (if ever) but even the most hardened modernist will be savage pushed to not find this at least a little pleasing. Coming in a handsome 1970’s orange and white conceal scheme it looks just like the CRT TV’s of old Tory down to the bunny ear antenna and removable chrome legs – and although it does draw nigh with an unfortunately modern looking remote, those who are looking for a more accurate ‘old school’ savoir faire can use the knobs which sit proudly to the right of the room divider.
Despite the fact that it is genuinely a CRT protect (not just a LCD in a big box!) it still comes with a modern digital tuner and composite video for your retro consoles, and I can take it as given this may well be more popular as a stylish second TV than as a sincere replacement for your 32” high definition flatscreen.
A irrefutable nice little touch is that you can interchange the colour scheme to ‘furious and white’ or even ‘sepia’ if you genuinely want to wallow in your past, and the sacrifice for this 14” piece of attempted retro isn’t too bad either at £135.
