“At IFA every year, LG delivers a new dimension of home entertainment experiences,” said Havis Kwon, President and CEO of LG Home Entertainment Company. “This year is no exception, as we introduce a wide range of more advanced 3D and Smart TV products, including one of the most anticipated next-generation displays, the OLED TV.”

Cinema 3D Attractor

Visitors to LG’s booth will first be mesmerized by a spectacular CINEMA 3D Attractor that showcases the best technology that LG has to offer. From there, they will get their first introduction to LG’s OLED TV and impressive array of 3D products. With 122 3D screens covering the walls of the booth and completely surrounding the entrance, the zone will bring the most immersive 3D experience to life.

OLED TV

The OLED TV zone will invite visitors to experience the most advanced display on the market, LG’s world’s largest and slimmest 55-inch OLED TV, which delivers truly uncompromising picture quality thanks to its 4 Color Pixel and infinite contrast from self-lighting pixels. The 4 Color Pixel design adds a white sub-pixel to the three primaries (WRGB), providing realistic colors from any viewing angle. In addition, the Color Refiner enhances color precision and consistency, hallmarks of LG’s OLED technology. Its 4mm-Paper Slim panel and use of strong Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) give the OLED TV a sleek, minimal exterior and further help deliver a truly immersive ultimate viewing experience.

LG’s OLED TV combines the company’s industry-leading CINEMA 3D technology with Smart TV capabilities, creating the most immersive and comprehensive home entertainment experience on the market today. This product received the European Display Achievement Award at the EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) 2012 Awards.

Ud 3D TV

The world’s first 84-inch UD 3D TV awaits next and will introduce another breathtaking 3D experience previously unseen outside a movie theater. LG’s UD 3D TV offers amazingly sharp picture quality coupled with an enormous screen that boasts 8 million pixels and four times the resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) of existing Full HD TV panels, thanks to LG’s advanced Triple XD Engine and the Resolution Upscaler Plus. The 2.2 Speaker System offers rich and deep sound, providing additional depth that complements the on-screen action. The TV is equipped with Smart TV features, giving viewers the ability to explore LG’s Smart TV ecosystem that includes a vast amount of apps and a growing range of content.

Cinema 3D Smart TV

Visitors will get the opportunity to get up close and personal with the full line-up of CINEMA 3D Smart TVs, which have received positive reviews from awards and a number of leading IT and consumer magazines from all over the world. Earlier in August, LG’s CINEMA 3D Smart TV (Model 55LM960V) won the European Smart TV Award at EISA 2012 Awards, one of the most coveted awards by Smart TV makers. More accolades include a 5-star Editor’s Choice Award from CNET, a Best Buy Award from Which?, a Test Winner Award from HiFi Test and Audio Video Foto-Bild, alongside many more.

The CINEMA 3D Smart TV zone will also introduce visitors to how LG managed to secure leadership in the market and where the latest 3D technology stands. Thanks to LG’s Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) CINEMA 3D technology, LG CINEMA 3D Smart TV provides a noticeably comfortable 3D experience with flicker-free images and battery-free 3D glasses. Among the CINEMA 3D Smart TV line-up, the high-end LM960V 55-inch CINEMA 3D Smart TV will impress visitors with its the most advanced and user-focused 3D features, including 3D Depth Control which users can customize the 3D experience and 3D Sound Zooming which perfectly matches the visual action. The CINEMA SCREEN Design offers the most immersive 3D viewing experience by reducing the bezel to just 1mm.

Smart TV Features

Focusing on its impressive Smart TV features, LG will demonstrate its leadership in connected TVs at its Smart TV zone. LG’s highly advanced yet enticingly simple Smart TV user interface and wealth of smart features, in particular Magic Remote and Smart Share Plus, contributing to LG’s dynamic Smart TV environment.

The Magic Remote offers a convenient means to access TV content and gives four different control options: point, wheel, voice recognition, and pattern gesture control. Additionally, Smart Share Plus offers a range of connectivity options. For example, devices on the same home Wi-Fi network can connect wirelessly to an LG CINEMA 3D Smart TV. If the external device features Intel’s Wireless Display technology (WiDi), users do not even need a cable.

Visitors can also experience LG’s Google TV at this year’s IFA. LG’s in-house engineers developed LG’s own L9 dual-core processor that powers the Google TV delivering superior performance and a great Smart TV experience. The Google TV’s Magic Remote QWERTY and Home Dashboard designed specifically for Google TV makes this smart TV especially easy-to-use and Google search, Google Play Store, Chrome browser and YouTube work as seamlessly as they do on PCs and smartphones.

3D Video Wall

Visitors will be introduced to LG’s world’s first 3D Video Wall that features FPR 3D, the same flicker-free technology found in LG CINEMA 3D Smart TVs. The WV70MD features the world’s narrowest bezel at just 5.3mm. With such a slim bezel, multiple WV70MD displays can be easily combined to provide a large single-screen display. The 3D Video Wall offers crystal-clear images without distortion or color inconsistencies, thanks to the IPS panels which also guarantee a wide viewing angle, perfect for accommodating a large group of people.

Last but not least, LG will also be unveiling a new version of its revolutionary Mouse Scanner, which takes all the pain out of document scanning.
