Koran TV!?

Why can't Malaysia think of this?

Why the Korean can think of this?
(Maybe when LG asked their engineers to design a Korean TV and there is typo - so - their engineers (probably from LG Indonesia) end up designing a Koran TV)

The Future:
The TV in public area will not need be connected to cable/antenna/astro.
Just play the built-in Koran (with the REPEAT ALL mode on)

Will LG launch a pre-installed Korean Dramas version?
(Buy TV, free dramas!!!)



South Korea's LG releases 'Koran TV' in Mideast

via Channel NewsAsia Front Page News on 9/16/08

SEOUL : South Korea's largest home appliance maker LG Electronics said Tuesday it has released a new television in Middle Eastern markets which includes the Koran installed as a digital text.

The model comes in 42 and 50-inch panels and lets viewers read all 114 chapters of the Islamic holy book on screen by controlling its menu, LG said in a statement.

The television, which also comes with a 160-gigabyte hard drive to store video content, allows users to bookmark up to 10 spots within the religious text.

"We came up with the model after realising that faithful Muslims read the Koran on a daily basis," said Park Jong-Seok, vice president of LG's plasma display panel division.

Last year LG said it aimed to post six billion dollars in sales of home appliances in Middle Eastern and African countries by 2010 by providing products that will appeal more to local consumers.
