LG UNVEILS WORLD’S FIRST FULL LED 3D TV
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
Boasting full LED technology with superb contrast and expansive picture the LX9500 goes beyond mere viewing to take you to the heart of the action

Doha, Qatar, 26 May, 2010 -- LG Electronics (LG), a global leader and technology innovator in the flat panel display and audio-video devices market, announced today the launch of the LX9500, the world’s first Full LED 3D TV. Delivering a picture of outstanding clarity and brightness on LG's innovative INFINIA design, the LX9500 – a two-time award winner at this year’s CES and a winner of the red dot design award 2010 – invites viewers into an entirely new world of 3D TV viewing.

For the ultimate in 3D home viewing, the LX9500 employs shutter glasses-type technology, with glasses that add depth to an image by blocking one lens then the other in sync with the screen's refresh rate. The LX9500 is also the only 3D TV with dual IR-emitting sensors, which send signals syncing the lenses with the TV. Having dual sensors ensures a wider and longer viewing angle for the TV’s 3D pictures, creating a spectacular home theater experience for the whole family.

As the world’s first Full LED 3D TV, the LX9500 uses an innovative backlight structure to deliver its remarkable picture. Illuminated by panels of LEDs directly behind the screen, the Full LED display provides images of exceptional brightness and clarity, as well as a localized Spot Control for the ultimate in picture quality. With TruMotion 400Hz reducing image cross-talk and a picture further enriched by a 10,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, the LX9500’s mesmerizing 3D transports viewers right to the heart of the action.

As with all its features, the LX9500’s award-winning INFINIA design is geared toward creating the ultimate 3D experience. Slim and sleek, the LX9500 boasts a depth of just 22.3mm, and a 16mm super-narrow bezel that allows for a more expansive picture and 3D images that practically burst out of the screen. In recognition of its unparalleled design, the LX9500 this year won a red dot design award, one of the world’s top three design awards and a globally accepted standard for the very best in product design. “Thanks to its superb picture quality, the LX9500 offers a 3D experience like no other, where instead of just watching scenes, you can actually be part of them,” said Mr C.V.Rappai, Director & General Manager, Video Home Electronics ,Qatar . “Through advanced features such as Full LED and INFINIA design, LG is already pushing the technological boundaries for 3D. Along with our 3D Blu-ray disk player and 3D home projector, LG is well placed to become a true global leader in 3D home entertainment.” Speaking from the launch of LG’s LX9500 at Ramada Hotel, Doha, Mr.C.V Rappai added; “Technology is moving at a faster pace now than it ever has and 3D is transforming the digital entertainment and education landscape.

“This new technology is creating visual experiences that offer new opportunities and challenges for educators, manufacturers and consumers alike. With its tendency towards early-adoption of new technology, the Middle East is on the cusp of widespread changes in technological development.”

Delivering unbeatable levels of entertainment, the LX9500 also displays regular programming and content in the very best, high-definition 2D. In addition, the TV is seamlessly connected to home AV devices thanks to a Wireless AV Link, while its NetCast™ function delivers instant streaming, via a broadband connection, of virtually limitless online content, including videos, movies and web albums. In another first for the industry, the LX9500 supports the Multi Picture Format (MPF) which enables user-created 3D content to be enjoyed on-screen without the need of a PC.

LG’s W86 Brings Slim, Eco-friendly Luxury to the Desktop
Saturday, May 08, 2010

LG’s W86 Brings Slim, Eco-friendly Luxury to the Desktop
New monitor combines incredible looks with power saving LED LCD Monitor and unmatched picture quality

Doha, 8th May 2010 -- LG Electronics, a leading provider of business solutions, today announced the latest offering in its designer series of monitors, the W86. This stylish LED-LCD monitor is elegantly outfitted to saunter down the runway and is ready to bring a touch of slim, eco-friendly luxury into the home or office.

The W86’s ultra-slim screen rests above a ruby red base that shimmers like a polished gemstone. A golden band adorns the monitor necklace-like just below the screen. A rich, piano black surface encases the entire monitor, creating a clean, uncluttered finish. LG even gave special attention to the external controls on the W86. The LED-illuminated power button adorns the bezel like a brilliant jewel. Other controls are hidden below the bezel and reveal their soft red glow only when a hand approaches.

Utilizing advanced LED Technology allowed LG to make the W86 an incredibly slim 20.5 mm, one-third slimmer and lighter than most CCFL-backlit monitors. With an impressive dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1, the W86 is able to convey fine details when viewing photos, movies or even games on screen. This performance requires no sacrifice as the W86 uses average 40% less power than normal CCFL monitors and contains absolutely no mercury.

The W86’s design is rivalled only by the quality of its picture. 22 & 24 inch models will be available with Full HD 1080p resolution and all models feature 2ms response time. Another new feature, aptly named Auto Bright, precisely adjusts the monitor’s brightness based on the brightness of the room and the content on the screen, resulting in a better picture while also saving energy. Two HDMI ports enable the W86 to pair effortlessly with PCs, game consoles and Blu-ray devices for maximum picture quality. With its 16:9 aspect ratio, every corner of the screen is filled when watching widescreen movies with no black bars to distract from the viewing pleasure.

LG gave the W86 advanced features to match its unique look. With Cinema Mode, online video experience is far superior than on regular displays. With a press of a button, the monitor automatically blacks out everything but the video. Time Control provides automatic reminders to take breaks at set intervals. Its 4:3 wide mode stretches movies, games and programs designed for older square monitors to fill the screen completely with minimal distortion. EZ Zooming relieves tired eyes, instantly switching the on-screen image to a lower resolution to provide larger, easier–to-read text.

LG’s W86 will made its debut during Gitex 2009 and is available in 22-inch 16:10 and 24-inch 16:9 configurations

LG Begins Global Hunt for LIVE BORDERLESS™ Experience

LG Begins Global Hunt for LIVE BORDERLESS™ Experience

One Winner Will Receive Business Class Round the World Ticket and US$100,000 to LIVE BORDERLESS™ for 80 Days

Doha, Qatar: 20th January, 2010

LG Electronics (LG), a global leader and technology innovator in consumer electronics, has launched a global campaign to find what people would consider is the ultimate journey on Earth. The person that suggests what the public and a panel of judges agree is a journey that epitomises LG’s LIVE BORDERLESS™ concept will win business class tickets around the world and US$100,000 to spend on their 80-day odyssey.

The campaign marks the launch of LG’s latest design concept LIVE BORDERLESS™, a range of flat screen LCD TVs that use new technology to reduce the screen surround or bezel, and use an edge-to-edge glass panel to enhance the screen’s sleek design attributes. The new technology marks a radical departure from traditional LCD panel screen design.

“LIVE BORDERESS™ can mean different things to different people and we want to find the person that captures the very essence of the concept. One person may believe that to LIVE BORDERLESS™ means to visit every country in the world, another may regard it as being able to travel pole to pole and yet another may determine it means helping people across the world have a better life,” said Mr C.V Rappai , Director/ General Manager Video Home Electronics Qatar.

A dedicated website, www.liveborderless.net, has been set up by LG to allow people to enter the search. The online site will ask people to describe what they would do if they won the business class tickets around the world and US$100,000. Entries may be made by either uploading a video or a written essay.

“We want people to explore their imagination and tell us what they would do to LIVE BORDERLESS™,” said Mr C.V Rappai.

“The public will be asked to vote for their favourite entries and a short-list of six will then be assessed by our judging panel who will consider which entrant epitomises the LIVE BORDERLESS™ concept.”

The global hunt for the ultimate journey will conclude in March 2010 when LGE will announce the winner.

Entries for LG Electronics’ LIVE BORDERLESS™ campaign can be made either by one minute video or a written entry of up to 300 words on LG Electronics’ dedicated website http://www.liveborderless.net.

LG Brings ‘Game-Changing’ TV Design to Mid East

LG Brings ‘Game-Changing’ TV Design to Mid East

LIVE BORDERLESS™ SL90 Streamlined Screen with Superior Picture Quality Set to Change TV Design in Future

Doha ,Qatar 20 January,2010 : Hunting a greater share of the Middle East television market, which currently stands at 20 per cent, LG Electronics, a major player in the global flat panel display and audio-video devices market has launched what it believes is a ‘game-changing’ TV that will forever shape the way televisions are designed in the future. LG’s SL90, a full HD LED LCD TV that is almost as thin as the single sheet of smoked glass it resembles, uses unique Injection Compression Molding technology and film lamination to eliminate the gap between the screen and the bezel creating a seamless flat panel.

“With flat panel screen sales increasing in the region, design and function are increasingly important to the consumer,” said Mr. C.V. Rappai, Director/ General Manager - Jumbo Electronics, Qatar. “They are demanding thinner, flatter screens that look stylish and fit in with modern home design and furnishings.

“Where LG is taking design is to remove the bezel surrounding the screen and produce a television that has a completely flat surface. Our first version of this is the SL90 which while there is still a thin bezel around the screen, we have used technology to create a single edge-to-edge panel to give this TV a very stylish flat screen that sets it apart from any other on the market.

“In addition to the stylish design, LG has introduced energy saving modes that reduce power-consumption by up to 80 percent compared with conventional LCD TVs making this one of the most environmentally-friendly TVs on the market.”

A special sheet of laminate film completes the SL90’s perfectly flat surface, causing the boundary between screen and the bezel to vanish while also significantly reducing glare. The result is a uniform, uninterrupted surface from edge to edge, with no visible borders. The screen and bezel are the same deep shade of black all the way across and LG even carried this down to the glasslike stand. With a depth of just 2.9cm, the SL90 is a stunning design for a new world of home entertainment.

“The LIVE BORDERLESS™ TV is captivating whether on or off, acting as an elegant centerpiece for any living room and drawing viewers in with its high-quality LED-backlit picture,” added Mr Rappai. “Our SL90 and other LIVE BORDERLESS™ TVs demonstrate exactly how LG is leading in innovative design and working to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of consumers.”

Inside the glossy exterior, LG’s SL90 hides technology that produces a superior picture using a LED backlight to produce an extremely high dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1 for truer blacks and finer gradations between grays. An anti-glare full HD 1080p screen reduces distracting reflections and for fast-moving action sequences, LG’s TruMotion 100Hz technology improves sharpness and fine detail while reducing motion trails for exceptional clarity.

With LG’s recently refined Invisible Speakers, the SL90 sounds exceptional without the need for unsightly speaker grilles that would ruin the TV’s aesthetic. LG’s new slim invisible speaker delivers superior sound quality and makes the TV look slimmer.

The SL90’s ability to connect wirelessly to an entire library of digital content is as attractive as the TV itself. Bluetooth brings music, and photos from compatible mobile phones directly to the big screen without any cables. This same technology can be used to connect wireless headphones for private listening. A USB 2.0 port hidden on the SL90’s side opens digital media options even wider, playing JPEG, MP3, MPEG4 and DivX files from external hard drives, memory cards or thumb drives.

While the SL90 may be a stunning shade of black on the outside, it is totally green on the inside. This TV has five distinct energy saving modes and uses up to 80 percent less power than conventional LCD TVs. LG’s Intelligent Sensor, which reduces energy consumption by analyzing the light in a room and intelligently dimming the TV’s backlight, also adjusts other picture settings to improve image quality and contrast.

“When we were creating the SL90, we had to break down numerous barriers in our minds,” said Mr. C.V Rappai. “This was the first time we used our Injection Compression Molding technology for a TV and we had to free ourselves to think of a new LIVE BORDERLESS™ design. The TV is free from physical borders and its ability to easily connect to digital media means that its entertainment possibilities are just as LIVE BORDERLESS™ as its design.”

LG’s Full HD SL90 LED LCD TV is available in all LG Lifestyle Galleries, Jumbo Retail Showrooms and Major hypermarkets and Retailers in Qatar.

LG UNVEILS WORLD’S FIRST FULL LED 3D TV
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
Boasting full LED technology with superb contrast and expansive picture the LX9500 goes beyond mere viewing to take you to the heart of the action

Doha, Qatar, 26 May, 2010 -- LG Electronics (LG), a global leader and technology innovator in the flat panel display and audio-video devices market, announced today the launch of the LX9500, the world’s first Full LED 3D TV. Delivering a picture of outstanding clarity and brightness on LG's innovative INFINIA design, the LX9500 – a two-time award winner at this year’s CES and a winner of the red dot design award 2010 – invites viewers into an entirely new world of 3D TV viewing.

For the ultimate in 3D home viewing, the LX9500 employs shutter glasses-type technology, with glasses that add depth to an image by blocking one lens then the other in sync with the screen's refresh rate. The LX9500 is also the only 3D TV with dual IR-emitting sensors, which send signals syncing the lenses with the TV. Having dual sensors ensures a wider and longer viewing angle for the TV’s 3D pictures, creating a spectacular home theater experience for the whole family.

As the world’s first Full LED 3D TV, the LX9500 uses an innovative backlight structure to deliver its remarkable picture. Illuminated by panels of LEDs directly behind the screen, the Full LED display provides images of exceptional brightness and clarity, as well as a localized Spot Control for the ultimate in picture quality. With TruMotion 400Hz reducing image cross-talk and a picture further enriched by a 10,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, the LX9500’s mesmerizing 3D transports viewers right to the heart of the action.

As with all its features, the LX9500’s award-winning INFINIA design is geared toward creating the ultimate 3D experience. Slim and sleek, the LX9500 boasts a depth of just 22.3mm, and a 16mm super-narrow bezel that allows for a more expansive picture and 3D images that practically burst out of the screen. In recognition of its unparalleled design, the LX9500 this year won a red dot design award, one of the world’s top three design awards and a globally accepted standard for the very best in product design. “Thanks to its superb picture quality, the LX9500 offers a 3D experience like no other, where instead of just watching scenes, you can actually be part of them,” said Mr C.V.Rappai, Director & General Manager, Video Home Electronics ,Qatar . “Through advanced features such as Full LED and INFINIA design, LG is already pushing the technological boundaries for 3D. Along with our 3D Blu-ray disk player and 3D home projector, LG is well placed to become a true global leader in 3D home entertainment.” Speaking from the launch of LG’s LX9500 at Ramada Hotel, Doha, Mr.C.V Rappai added; “Technology is moving at a faster pace now than it ever has and 3D is transforming the digital entertainment and education landscape.

“This new technology is creating visual experiences that offer new opportunities and challenges for educators, manufacturers and consumers alike. With its tendency towards early-adoption of new technology, the Middle East is on the cusp of widespread changes in technological development.”

Delivering unbeatable levels of entertainment, the LX9500 also displays regular programming and content in the very best, high-definition 2D. In addition, the TV is seamlessly connected to home AV devices thanks to a Wireless AV Link, while its NetCast™ function delivers instant streaming, via a broadband connection, of virtually limitless online content, including videos, movies and web albums. In another first for the industry, the LX9500 supports the Multi Picture Format (MPF) which enables user-created 3D content to be enjoyed on-screen without the need of a PC.
