LG Releases New SoundPlate

Pricing and availability for the compact sound system have been announced. 

LG is demoing its latest SoundPlate audio system, the LAB540W, at CE Week in New York. The stylish device is designed to sit under a user's television.

"TVs may get the most attention from consumers looking to enhance their home theaters, but at LG we know that great sound is also at the heart of the home entertainment experience," said Tim Alessi, head of new product development for LG Electronics USA, which is a Platinum Sponsor of CE Week 2014. "We designed our SoundPlates to be a turnkey solution with great sound quality and smart TV functionality for added value, and we packaged it in a compact, stylish design."

With its sleek design, the LAB540W is designed to be paired with 32 to 55-inch flat screen TVs. Measuring just 39.5mm high, the SoundPlate features 4.1 channel, 320 watt audio and an external wireless subwoofer, offering a compact size without sacrificing powerful sound. In addition, the SoundPlate includes an integrated 3D Blu-ray player, Smart TV functions, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming.

The LAB540W is now available for a suggested retail price of $600.
