Freesat HD is the icing on LG’s LF7700 HDTVs

If you want to set your HDTV apart from the crowd, you’ve got to give it something extra – Ambilight, an ultra-thin chassis, a sexy design, or maybe you can embrace a new technology.

LG’s latest HDTV range is a case in point. The new LF7700 models come with integrated Freesat HD, enabling viewers to watch subscription-free HD programmes on BBC and ITV, plus over 140 standard-def TV and radio channels.

With 32-inch, 37-inch and 42-inch televisions planned for this month, the first model released into the wild looks likely to be the LG 47LF7700.

This classy 47-incher is a 1080p LCD TV with Freesat HD, a trio of HDMI ports, a contrast ratio of 80,000:1, TruMotion 100Hz picture processing and a 24p Real Cinema mode.

Alongside the standard Scart, VGA, composite and component inputs, LG has also included a built-in USB port (for photo viewing and MP3 playback) and an Ethernet jack for future Internet/IPTV connectivity.

So this is a smart HDTV with the potential to get even smarter.

“The LF7700 is a perfect example of form meeting function,” says Brian Na, president of LG Electronics UK.

“It incorporates smart technology, with ultra slim design and is the epitome of style. Consumers are treated to a subscription-free HD device that accentuates a chic living space. Freesat was purchased by an additional 100,000 customers at the end of 2008, putting paid to our decision to integrate it into the LF7700.”
