Samsung took IFA by storm yesterday with its now-legendary ” S Pen ” (that Galaxy Note comes bundled), so it is just fair that LG gets its chance within the spotlight with a pen of its own. The company’s Pentouch comes with a plasma TV in tow, and allows you to do super-slick stuff for your productivity suite — you could mark up Word docs, handwrite URLs inside the browser, highlight elements on your PowerPoint presentations, or maybe flick a kind of little red balls of fluff in Angry Birds . $2,199 will net you a 3D-enabled 60-inch LG PZ850 with Pentouch TV — a non-3D model is on the market for $1,699, and there is a 50-inch version to boot, priced at a trifling $1,099.
You would need to gather a variety of ingredients before you will get cookin’ here, including the television, the pair of included pens, and a pc to pump content on your TV. In case you are planning to exploit the display with kids, a printer might probably be a good suggestion to boot, so your toddlers may have a platform to maintain all those on-screen sketched masterpieces (this thing puts coloring books to shame). Everything appeared to work as described (note: this is not a touchscreen, so you will have to make use of the pen), though the software did hiccup once while trying to hand-write the Engadget URL. We see this being more of successful for enterprise use, since there is not really any ought to mark up photos or tap the screen to launch apps on your lounge. Still curious about taking the plunge? Jump past the break for a video walkthrough (yes, and one more clip of Angry Birds).
