The LG Serie 1 Classic has a 14-inch display screen and is available only in Korea at a price of 249,000 KRW or $216 (£134), technabob has reported.

The LG Serie 1 Classic TV has old-style knobs for changing channels and adjusting volume.

It also offers Composite video connectivity that allows viewers to use their last-generation games console. The retro TV, though, comes with a wireless remote control and digital tuner to keep things a bit more modern.

The screen color can be flipped from color to black and white and sepia tones.

The LG Serie 1 Classic is available in two colors, the orange model 14SR1EB and a dark brown model 14SR1DB.

CRT technology is slowly been replaced by thinner display technologies such as flat plasma, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), DLP, and OLED displays. However, it still has a presence in many markets, especially in the developing ones.
