LG uses VF to show off HD at CES

This is just a gratuitous Sega story so feel free to move on. Consumer electronics giant LG is using Virtua Fighter 5 and Sonic the Hedgehog to show off the technology behind its new 1080p HD TV displays at the forthcoming CES show.

This is a glowing example of how these industries need each other - TV manufacturers are hoping that HD games drive sales of HD TVs while games console manufacturers are hoping that increased sales of HD TVs will tempt people into buying HD games consoles which have built in HD movie players. Now that you can get a basic HD TV for the price of a radio and some crisps the tech industry is now hoping to tempt early adopter types to upgrade to 1080p - videogames are the best bet. Especially games like VF5, which I have seen and which looks quite staggering. This is an image of new character, Eileen.
