They call it "The LG Serie 1 Retro Classic TV" and comes with a 4:3 ratio 14 inch display screen which can be tuned to either color mode, sepia or black and white – perfect for watching those old 1950s and 1960s television shows such as "I Dream of Jeannie", "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." or "I Love Lucy".
