What’s more, an Anti-Reflection panel on the screen minimizes reflection from external light sources to provide a crystal clear picture. LG will also introduce the LSB316 Bluetooth soundbar at CES 2011. This soundbar features a wireless subwoofer and can stream audio from devices such as iPhone. Stay tuned for more updates.
