- LG recently held a launch event to debut its first Ultra HD television. The company says the 4K smart 3D TV will be offered for $19,999.
- “The LG 84LM9600 has a native screen resolution of 3840 x 2160, four times the resolution of a typical 1080p television,” reports Digital Trends. “The 84-inch LED Ultra HD panel also includes LG’s proprietary ‘Resolution Upscaler Plus’ technology to up-convert 1080p content to the Ultra HD resolution.”
- For gaming, the TV allows two people to compete in a multiplayer game without the need for split screen. “Using glasses that are sold separately, the television is simultaneously displaying two video feeds and each pair of glasses is designed to pick up a specific feed,” explains the post.
- LG’s Ultra HD set will ship bundled with six pairs of flicker-free 3D glasses. The TV also includes a 2D-to-3D conversion feature.
- “While the massive panel is just 1.57-inches thick, the television is over 150 pounds in weight plus another 25 pounds for the stand,” writes Digital Trends.
- The set features built-in Wi-Fi, LG’s gesture system with Magic Remote, four HDMI inputs, three USB 2.0 inputs, and a 10-speaker system rated at 50 watts.
- “The television ties into LG’s Smart TV ecosystem, so consumers will have access to plenty of applications like Netflix, Facebook, Vudu, Skype and Hulu Plus,” adds the post.
- LG says the sales price in stores may eventually be closer to $16,999. The only comparable Ultra HD TV to be offered this year is Sony’s 84-inch model, which lists on the Sony site at $24,999.
