LG Shows Fastest Blu-Ray Drive, Creeps Out Reporter
Our good friends at Gearlog attended LG’s annual show and tell. While there is exciting Blu-ray news, the fearless reporter was distracted by the Joan Rivers impersonator and wax figures…
LG had their annual line show in New York yesterday, in a very odd, and somewhat creepy venue: Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum. I’m not sure what that’s supposed to say about LG’s products — that they’re replicas of famous faces? Somehow I don’t think that’s what they were trying to get across.
After being harangued by a Joan Rivers impersonator in the lobby, we were led upstairs to the main floor, where fake celebrities were seated at small tables amongst the latest and great LG products. Probably the biggest innovation for a PC-centric crowd is their new $899 internal Blu-Ray drive, which records at 4x (in other words, taking 22 minutes to record a disk.) It also reads and writes all the old-school DVD formats, including the Rs, RWs, RAMs and multi-layer. Sweet.
