LCD or plasma? If you like LG you don't need the debate as they're still pumping out new models of both. Admittedly, there are more LCD screens — 24 across eight series — than plasma — eight across four series — but that's still plenty of TVs to choose from.
Presuming you can cope without the absolute nitty-gritty of every single specification (and if you can't, the LG web site will have full details soon enough), here's a brief rundown of the new TVs and the main talking points.
LCD SCREENS
Though exact specs will vary between each series and each model, LG has gone for some new, eye-catching designs, invisible speaker systems, and TruMotion 120Hz technology.
LG75 Series
Just the one 47-incher in this series, offering full 1080p HD, 1,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR) (yes, that is one million), invisible speaker system, intelligent sensor for automatic optimisation of brightness and colour, 24p TruCinema (oh they all have different names for the same thing), 4x HDMI input, Clear Voice technology, and LG SimpLink for same-vendor syncing.
LG71 Series
In 47 and 52-inch screen sizes, it features LG's "teardrop" design, and features 802.11n Wi-Fi, 20,000:1 DCR, TruMotion 120Hz technology, plus the rest of what's on the LG75.
LG70 Series
Coming in 32, 42, 47, and 52-inch screen sizes, they also feature the new "teardrop" design but aren't wireless. Also sporting the niceties of TruMotion 120Hz, 24p, 20,000:1 DCR, and the like.
LGX LCD HDTV Super Slim
This 1.7-inch thin 42-inch screen TV features a slim silhouette, red-coloured back and round aperture with LED light, 15,000:1 DCR, TruMotion, 24p, and the rest.
LG60 Series
The LG60 Series features TVs with screen sizes of 32, 37, 42, 47, and 52 inches, and features the same style and technology as the LGX TV mentioned above.
LG50 Series
Available in 37, 42, 47, and 52 inch sizes, these offer a slim profile with high-gloss black finish, 15,000:1 DCR, 3x HDMI, 24p, 1080p, and so on.

Available in sizes right from 19, through 22, 26, 32, 37, and 42 inches, these are 720p HDTVs with other similar specs to the LG40 Series.
PLASMA SCREENS
Not quite so many plasmas to whizz through. There are four series being demonstrated for the first time at CES 2008.
PG70 Series
Available in 50 and 60 inch screen sizes, offering optional wireless capability, full 1080p, 30,000:1 contrast ratio, expected THX Display certification, dual XD Engine, and four HDMI inputs.
