Nearly frameless design

The current design trend in most manufacturers is to give an almost absolute prominence to the panel. Still, some elements such as the frame or the base are necessary. The SK 9500 sports a nice design with quite narrow frames.

To place the television on the furniture LG has opted for a "Central Crescent" base . It is a metallic support, with an open U shape and with an elegant bronze finish. This color is also carried over to the outer frames of the television.
