How does the saying go again? Everything that's old is new again? LG is proving this point with a new 14 inch CRT tube television set designed for the Korean market.

Complete with round knobs, retractable terrestrial antennae and an updated digital tuner - this set screams retro. You can even watch television in black and white and or sepia with the flip of a switch.

The set is priced at $215 and there is no mention of it coming to the US. By the time it does, it is possible that for not much more than $215 will buy you a 42 inch LED that does all of today's latest HDTV tricks. But then again - its not retro-fabulous is it?
