	LG Set to Debut 480Hz LCD TV at CES 2009 LG has announced that it will be showing off the world's first Trumotion 480Hz LCD TV at CES 2009.

I already mentioned today that I expect to see many 240Hz sets at the show, but LG is even doubling that number.

At the CES 2009 LG unveils with the LG-GD910 the world's first 3G touchscreen watch phone. The LG-GD910 is not just 3G it actually supports HSDPA with 7.2Mbps download speeds. On the watch face is a video camera to use the LG-GD910 for video conferencing or video capture.
