DVR market by expanding its line of hard drive-equipped TVs, which <a
href="http://homeentertainment.engadget.com/2005/05/03/lgs-new-50py2dr-and-60py2dr-plasma-tvs-with-built-in-dvr/">debuted
last year</a>. Like the earlier models, the new TVs will include high-end plasma sets, but LG is expanding the number of
models to be offered, raising the storage capacity and cutting prices. While last year's models, the 50-inch 50PY2DR and
60-inch 60PYDR, came with 160GB drives and cost, respectively, $7,999 and $14,999, the new sets will range in size from
37-50 inches (including several LCD models), will include 250GB drives, and will range in price from about $2,300 to
$5,500, according to The Wall Street Journal and other sources. The new sets will also include memory card readers and
will be HD-compatible. LG anticipates rolling out the new models in Korea first, and to begin selling them globally by
the end of the year.<br />
