Armani and Samsung Unveil Premium LCD-TV

by Richard Lawler on April 17, 2008 at 09:39 AM


That Samsung / Armani tie-up continues to grow closer -- following the cellphones is a new premium HDTV unveiled on the opening day of the Milan International Furniture Fair. The 46- and 52-inch 1080p LCDs include Samsung's 100Hz display technology, wrapped in a design inspired by Giorgio Armani's '08/'09 Armani/Casa home furnishings collection, which itself is inspired by Eileen Gray and reminiscent of Hollywood's Golden Age. The idea behind the look is that the TV would serve as a design element of the room rather than a boxy, black slap of consumer electronics.

Expect the 42-inch model, with stylish backlit remote control (a smaller, pebble shaped remote is also included for your less stylish friends) and specially designed front-mounted power switch to launch in Europe, Korea and Russia mid-summer, followed by the 52-inch in late summer.
