LG showcases 3D at IFA

LG is showcasing its new product ranges and building on its Cinema 3D portfolio at this year’s IFA tradeshow in Berlin.

The new products combine the latest in 3D technology and SmartTV functions for smarter, more comfortable and more convenient 3D. LG’s line-up also includes better 3D surround sound technology to complete the home cinema experience.

The LG LW980T series offers Cinema 3D and SmartTV, plus LG’s Nano Full LED technology, creating the ultimate TV and entertainment hub for the entire family. The Nano Full LED screen creates brighter, clearer and smoother pictures: and allows the TV design to be slimmer. This flagship LG TV provides the best in 2D, 3D and SmartTV and comes complete with seven pairs of 3D glasses, built in Wi-Fi and the Magic Remote control to make it LG’s ultimate Next Generation TV.

LG also launched the HX906TX 3D Sound Home Cinema system for the complete 3D solution, with a 9.1 speaker system. This product creates a powerful audio experience close to that of the cinema or live concerts and bringing 360º sound straight into the living room: as credited by Dolby.
