LG Electronics will unveil its newest Smart TV features
as well as its newest collection of 3D glasses at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next month.
Imbedded in the new CINEMA 3D Smart TV line-up for
2012, LG is aiming to provide CINEMA 3D Smart TV owners
with a comprehensive yet easy-to-use home entertainment
experience possible, as evidenced by the over 1,200
apps, premium content services and the new Magic
Remote.
LG claims that its Smart TV ecosystem has experienced
enormous growth over the past year, having launched
over 1,200 Smart TV apps. In addition to access to more
movies and TV programs, user can access social
networking services (SNS) on their LG Smart TVs, make
donations to charities and browse famous art
collections.
LG's 3D Zone offers a collection of 3D movies and TV
shows, while existing 2D movies can be converted to 3D
via LG's 3D conversion engine.
Using the TV is also simple thanks to the new Magic
Remote. The new Voice Recognition mode lets users enter
text -- such as search terms -- by making voice
commands. Wheel enables users to swiftly scroll up and
down various menus and apps. Magic Gesture makes it
possible to communicate physical movements as commands.
And lastly, Pointing lets users make on-screen
selections quickly without having to scroll or push
direction keys repeatedly.
The new CINEMA 3D Smart TVs offer a variety of
connectivity features. The newest among them is Intel?s
Wireless Display (WiDi) technology, which enables easy
k connection between TVs and PCs without the need for
cables or Internet access. Through Smart Share Plus,
users can access content stored on external devices
such as PCs, tablets and smartphones. Smart Share Plus
also offers the Screen Share function which streams TV
content to external viewing devices using a Wi-Fi
connection.
The quantity of content is further expanded through
content services available through the Smart TV
function. An upgraded Home Dashboard allows for quick
browsing. And the shortcuts displayed on the Home
Dashboard can be customized, giving users the option to
handpick their favorite content and apps for instant
access.
 LG's newest collection of 3D glasses, including a pair
designed by renowned eyewear designer Alain Mikli, will
be introduced in the first quarter of 2012. The new 3D
glasses -- the F310, the clip-on F320 and the Alain
Mikli F360 -- are lighter and more comfortable to wear
while upgraded design features such as curved lenses
and clean frame structure have transitioned 3D glasses
from burdensome requirements to stylish fashion
accessories.
The F310 combines soft lines within a slim frame. The
lenses have been curved to better accommodate the shape
of the wearer's face. The F310 weighs a mere 13.5
grams, making it 20 percent lighter than LG?s previous
design.
Another new item for 2012 includes the clip-on F320.
Clip-on 3D glasses are unique to 3D TVs based on Film
Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology, which is at the
heart of CINEMA 3D TV. Compared to the previous
generation clip-on 3D glasses, the F320 weighs 25
percent less at 5.5 grams.
Developed in collaboration with Alain Mikli, the F360?s
half-rim frame design is sportier and only weighs 16
grams. The lenses of the F360 have been curved and
cover most of the wearer?s face. The F360, as well as
all 3D glasses from LG, can also worn in theaters
showing 3D movies since both CINEMA 3D and theaters
utilize the same FPR and RealD technologies. |
