Driven by the company's continuous emphasis on design and technology, LG's new innovation is expected to further increase its dominance in the Middle East and Africa television market.

The stylish CRT TV bears a close resemblance to an LCD TV, and LG is confident that the new TV will appeal to budget-minded customers who wish to experience exceptional audio-visual quality at a lower cost.

Mr. K. W. Kim, President of LG Electronics, Middle East and Africa, said:

"The CRT forms an important backbone of our sales in the region. LG Electronics has been a pioneer in home entertainment technology since its inception and continues to provide its customers with the best quality, variety and price options. The CRT TV market remains strong with a dedicated consumer audience.'

The new 21-inch CRT TV (model name: 21FU1R) is good news for consumers who consider three major factors before purchasing a new TV: picture quality, design and particularly price. Around 75 percent cheaper than a LCD TV, the Ultra Slim CRT TV will appeal to budget-minded customers.

When it comes to design, the front highlights a slim image with simple and straight lines. The back is curved with a stylish wave-line image that fits in any household. The frame is solid with a high glossy black colour.

The product's technical specifications add to its appeal. The LG Ultra Slim TV has a deflection angle of 120 degrees to make it the slimmest CRT TV ever!

LG's Anti-Doming Mask and Glass Design technology eliminates distortion at the edge of the screen. Its 'Nano-Fluorescent Substance' technology enables the TV to realise higher contrast ratios and display an excellent image quality with vivid and rich colours.

'This Ultra Slim TV is highly price competitive with great product quality in the 20-inch TV market. Now, customers in the Middle East have array of choices. We will aggressively advance into the commercial market as well as the emerging markets such as Brazil, Russia, India and China,' Kim added.
