LG Electronics revolutionises lounge rooms with world-first technology

LG Electronics (LG) is launching its first ever 2D-3D Plasma TV along with an advanced 3D Recorder & Blu-ray Player. LG continues to set new standards in home entertainment with the introduction of these two new 3D-capable products.

LG’s first foray into the 3D Plasma arena has already achieved the honour of being the first-ever recipient of a 3D THX Certification, the definitive recognition for cinema-quality 3D on a TV. Passing more than 400 laboratory tests including colour accuracy and viewing angles, the LG 2D-3D Plasma features THX Certification for both its 3D and 2D capabilities.

Standard 2D TV programs and movies have been given a new lease on life with LG’s 3D Plasma TV. At the push of a button, viewers can select THX 2D or 3D Cinema modes that will transform 2D content into 3D viewing.

At only 2.1 inches thick, the LG 3D Plasma maintains LG’s commitment to providing design excellence to lounge rooms around Australia. LG’s innovative Borderless design is carried throughout and adds sophistication to homes without intruding into the family lifestyle.

A number of advanced features have come together to ensure the LG 3D Plasma achieves the highest level of visual precision. LG’s TruBlack™ filter produces deeper blacks that in-turn creates unmatched colour clarity. Another feature is the TV’s ability to produce blur-free images during fast-paced sequences.

LG’s 3D Plasma features innovative self-illuminating pixels that accustom for a wide viewing angle, allowing TV watchers to experience the full 3D experience wherever they choose to sit. Furthermore, users can connect their 3D cameras to the TV to view their 3D pictures directly on the big screen through the Multi Picture Format (MPF) function.

Late night trips down to the local video store are a thing of the past with the 3D Plasma TV. LG’s Netcast online streaming service provides effortless, seamless connectivity to thousands of BigPond movies, YouTube videos, Picasa picture albums and more, direct to the TV. With these functions and more, viewers will have access to a growing range of 3D content, whether they’re online or stored in home digital libraries.

Complementing LG’s latest 3D TV, the LG 3D Recorder & Blu-ray Player is a state-of-the-art 3D Blu-ray player with the added ability to capture content in 3D format, giving families the opportunity to enjoy their favourite shows in real-life. From soap operas to the weekend’s footy game, LG’s 3D Recorder & Blu-ray Player ensures everyone can watch their preferred programs in 3D at any time.

The unit plays back 3D and 2D Blu-ray discs with equal brilliance but also features the ability to store and stream video content through the one device.

The digital set-top box is made redundant with the device through its ability to receive cable, satellite and free-to-air shows without the need for extra hardware. A Time Shift function gives viewers the power to pause live TV shows when distracted. Furthermore, the recorders built-in tuner is able to record programs and playback a Blu-ray movie simultaneously, ensuring favourite shows are never missed.

Both 3D and 2D content can be stored on the standard 250GB Hard Disk of the HR558D model or to 500GB on the HR559D model. This impressive storage capacity turns the unit into an efficient entertainment hub and digital library which can store and manage the plethora of digital content valued by the modern family.
