LG has launched in the US the LFD850, a 160-watt stereo shelf system which combines superior sound quality and an attractive appearance in a compact package with piano black finish. The LFD850 features an AM/FM tuner, clock radio, CD/DVD playback with vacuum-loading vertical slot, USB media host, 3.5mm auxiliary input and all the needed video outputs to watch your DVD or DivX on a TV.

The LFD850 system comes along with a handy remote control for $299, and for $229 you can get the basic version without the DVD playback feature and video outputs.
