Maybe it’s just the disco-inspired wallpaper that has our motors all revved up, but whatever the case, we’re pretty jazzed about LG ’s newest 55-inch duo. The 55LH95 and 55LH93 are the company’s latest ultrathin LED-backlit sets, both of which slim down to 24.8 millimeters and pack a grand total of 3,360 LEDs — a number that LG claims is around seven times that used in most edge-lit LED TVs. There’s also a 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a 240Hz refresh rate and — potentially most intriguing — a mysterious wireless feature that enables DVD and game consoles to transmit information sans an HDMI cable. There’s no mention of what technology is baked in (AMIMON’s WHDI , perhaps?), but either way, we’re hoping the same stuff remains once these get announced for North America. Estimated pricing on the July-bound (in South Korea) sets is pegged for $5,500 and $5,900, respectively, and LG is apparently planning to issue 42- and 47-inchers with the same amenities here soon.

We’d heard rumors Mvix USA would be rolling out an upgraded 1080p capable media box to rival the earlier MvixPVR and here it is. Dubbed the Ultio, it has a list of supported codecs and containers that rivals the new Popcorn Hour C-200 in its thoroughness — DivX(R) (3/4/5/6), Xvid, AVC-HD, MPEG 1/2/4, WMV-9, ASF(WMV9), MKV, DVD(IFO, VOB), ISO, MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG, FLAC, AC3 — it’s all here, with a slightly awkward Swiss Army knife-themed tagline to boot. The $169 price tag is sans-3.5-inch SATA HDD, though you can add one for $79 (500GB) $90 (1TB) or $139 (1.5TB). Of course network streaming is a part of the package, with Mvix’s usual suite of Samba / UPnP / BitTorrent (mentioning compatibility with PlayOn and Tversity specifically to get all your Netflix, YouTube and other streaming sources to TV) via Ethernet or optional Wireless-N dongle. It’s up for pre-orders now, take a close look at the specs and pics then get in line before they start shipping July 6.
