LG shows its new 84″ 3D UD TV | LG demuestra su nuevo televisor 3D UD de 84″

[English]

I wonder how gaming would look on an 84″ TV with 3D capabilities and 4k display (4 times the pixel count of 1080p). Known as the LM9600, this Ultra Definition (UD) 3D TV looks like a high-definition TV ready for the next generation of videogames and movies. Not only is 4k-capable (3480 x 2160), it also comes with dual-core processing, and Smart TV applications that work via voice recognition and motion-controlled. There isn’t much content at this resolution, though people can see videos of that quality on YouTube.

This HDTV will also be available in two smaller sizes, and will come with six pairs of 3D glasses to watch passive 3D.

Let’s hope upcoming consoles get ready to support 4k. Are you ready to game in 4k?

LG Unveils Future of Home Entertainment with innovative 2012 HDTV line

New Designs, Upgraded Smart TV and New Magic Remote, Enhanced LED and Plasma Technologies Deliver Uncompromised Options for the Whole House

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2012 – LG Electronics (LG) today introduced its 2012 HDTVs, led by what is believed to be one of the world’s largest Ultra Definition (UD) 3D TV and an awe-inspiring 55-inch class (54.6-inch diagonal) OLED HDTV – at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (booth #8204). This new line of HDTVs brings the future of TV into the home today with virtually bezel-less designs, an upgraded LG Smart TV platform with a redesigned Magic Remote and touch-screen plasma.

“LG continues to innovate in the TV space, bringing to market sleek new designs with technological advances such as 3D and Smart TV,” said Tim Alessi, Director of New Product Development, Home Electronics, LG Electronics USA. “This is just the beginning of another exciting year for LG as we look to deliver new products that meet the needs of consumers’ growing appetite for theater-quality products in the home.”

Pushing Limits, Eliminating Barriers
LG exemplified its commitment to innovation and stylish design for its 2012 line with its 55-inch class OLED HDTV, which showcases precise color, absolute contrast and blazing clarity in a chassis measuring just over 4mm thick. LG applied similar design rigor to other 2012 series (LM9600, LM8500, LM7600 and LM6700) by developing CINEMA Screen technology, which limits the bezel to roughly 5mm. This design element gives these models an even more streamlined, modern look, while also providing consumers a more immersive viewing experience.

Smarter LG Smart TV*
LG reaffirmed its commitment to the connected TV movement by offering an upgraded Smart TV package in 60 percent of its 2012 LCD TV line. In addition to premium content from providers like Netflix, Hulu Plus, VUDU and others, new content options this year include a one-stop-shop for 3D content (via the 3D Zone) and almost 1,200 total applications in the LG App store. LG also enhanced the user Web browsing experience by incorporating HTML 5 and Flash so it can now function as a full internet browser with video support.

Select series (LM9600 and LM8600) will feature the LG Dual Core chipset, which powers faster loading speeds and enables voice recognition technology on the new 4-mode Magic Remote**. The new Magic Remote simplifies navigation with additional functions including Voice Recognition, Wheel, Magic Gesture and Pointing (see separate release). Consumers can also access online content easily through a built-in Wi-Fi connection. With Mobile HD Link (MHL), consumers can connect (hardwire) compatible mobile devices to the TV to charge and play its content (launch apps, games or access multimedia files) on the big screen using the Magic Remote to navigate. Finally, this year’s Smart TV dashboard will be customizable so consumers can navigate and personalize their interface by putting their favorite content options on the main page.

Complementing its broad Smart TV line, LG also introduced two LED series featuring LG Smart TV with Google TV (LMG860 and LMG620). Consumers can navigate through LG’s TV-centric home dashboard, or via the standard Google TV interface using a special remote control that combines the simplicity of the Magic Remote with an integrated QWERTY keyboard to access the broad array of Google content, including services and TV applications from the Android Market.

CINEMA 3D is Here to Stay
Due to its success in 2011, CINEMA 3D technology has been expanded to seven new series of LED HDTVs, all told 25 models. LG CINEMA 3D employs the revolutionary Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology to give viewers a great 3D effect and uses glasses that don’t flicker like active shutter glasses. It also virtually eliminates cross-talk to help provide a more comfortable 3D viewing experience. The 3D glasses are battery-free, affordable and don’t shutter open and closed so both eyes receive an image simultaneously. With new 3D Depth Control, viewers can optimize 3D content to their personal preference by adjusting the amount 3D effect applied to the content. 3D Sound Zooming offers users a maximized 3D experience with sound effect changing in accordance with the movement of on-screen objects. Upgraded 2D to 3D Conversion with improved depth effect enables any 2D content to be seen in immersive 3D.

Getting Interactive
LG’s Dual Play function takes gaming to new levels of excitement. Many multi-player video games rely on a split-screen to show each player’s perspective. However, Dual Play enables each player to enjoy a full screen view (in 2D) simultaneously through two different sets of polarized glasses.

Also on display will be the LG PenTouch plasma TV (PM6900). Particularly useful for families and businesses, the PenTouch plasma TV allows users to draw and write directly onto the display panel. Using a newly designed touch pen, users can do so through a variety of applications, including those for illustrations, photo editing and PowerPoint presentations.
