Combining Android OS with LG’s 3D and Smart TV Technologies, LG’s Google TV Provides Consumers with a New Home Entertainment Experience

LG Electronics (LG) has introduced its highly anticipated Google TV at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, USA.

The globally acclaimed show which kicked-off yesterday  features more than 2,700 global technology companies unveiling the latest consumer technology products and services across 15 major product categories including the newest in audio, automotive electronics, connected home technologies, digital imaging/photography, electronic gaming, entertainment/content  among others.

The newest addition to the fast growing innovative LG stable combines the familiarity of Google’s Android Operating System with the convenience and comfort of LG’s 3D and Smart TV technologies, offering consumers a new and attractive home entertainment option.

“LG has constantly strived to provide consumers with wider choices in home entertainment that bring the highest level of sophistication and convenience,” said George Mudhune, LG Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications for East and Central Africa

“Through Google TV, LG has merged Google’s established Android operating system with LG’s proven 3D and Smart TV technologies, offering consumers a new and enthralling TV experience.” He said.

LG’s Google TV ensures ease of use, thanks to the combination of its Android-based user interface and the Magic Remote Qwerty designed by LG. LG’s Google TV’s user interface and main screen have been designed for convenient browsing and content selection. Multi-tasking is also possible, as the search, social networking and TV functions can be run simultaneously. The user interface can be accessed using the Magic Remote Qwerty which combines the user-friendly benefits of LG’s Magic Remote with a QWERTY keyboard.

Among the other cutting edge consumer products LG will be showcasing in the three-day exhibition is the upgraded Smart ThinQ™ technology and its new Home Energy Management System.

The Smart ThinQ™ and HeMS provide consumers with a more comfortable and convenient way to manage chores, as well as potentially big savings in energy use and electricity bills.

Equipped with LG's own CINEMA 3D technology, Google TV provides a home entertainment experience that is immersive, comfortable and convenient. Based on LG’s own Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology, CINEMA 3D glasses are battery-free, comfortable and lightweight. The glasses are also affordable, making LG’s Google TV ideal for viewing by a large group of family and friends when used in 3D mode. And with a single click of the remote, any 2D program or movie can be viewed in 3D, thanks to the built-in 2D to 3D conversion engine.

Alongside Google TV, LG will continue to advance its own Smart TV platform based on NetCast, which will be available in more than 60 percent of LG’s flat panel TVs scheduled for introduction over the coming year. With a growing collection of content and services, LG’s Smart TV platform will continue to provide consumers with a unique user experience.

The global exhibition which has drawn wide international interest closes tomorrow.
