Samsung & Armani have once again joined forces, and announced at this years Milan International Furniture Fair the release of a premium LCD TV. A 46″ version of the TV will be available in Europe, Korea, and Russia, with a 52″ model being released in the same markets later this summer. Details are thin, but the TV’s are said to be ‘top of the line technology’, with 100Hz Full HD and HDMI connectors.
The press release says the display was created for customers “who are seeking a prestige television that combines sophisticated design and leading flat screen technology“, a very nice way of saying the main customers this will be targeting is people obsessed with branding. Sitting in the press release for anyone to see is the full scope of Armani’s involvement in the project, which is very little. The two remotes (why two?) are designed by Armani as well as the Samsung/Armani logo on the display that stylishly lights up in four different colors. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors provided by the “strategic marketing alliance announced by the two companies in September, 2007“.
