Spearheading LG's announcement of 20 new LCD-TVs were three DVR-enabled sets; the 47LB1DRA, 42LB1DRA and 42LB1DR.

While all three sets include a digital video recorder capable of storing 66 standard TV hours (15 in HDTV) and a TV Guide Onscreen EPG, LG put plenty more meat on the 47LB1DRA's bones. An extra tuner will allow viewers to watch and record separate HD broadcasts simultaneously and the 1080p native resolution is the highest available today, promising all of the detail of 1080i high-def sources. The company didn't announce pricing at its press conference.
