- LG has announced three new models of 3D glasses that will be available in 2012. “New CINEMA 3D TV glasses will convince more consumers that 3D doesn’t have to be uncomfortable or ugly,” suggests the press release.
- The F310 weighs 20 percent less than the company’s default glasses from last year and is curved for a better fit, the F320 (designed by Alain Mikli) clips on for those who wear glasses, and the F360 feature half-rim frames.
- “Compared to active shutter glasses, LG’s 3D glasses are far more comfortable to wear and much more affordable, making it possible for large groups and entire families to watch 3D programs and movies together,” claims Havis Kwon, president and CEO of LG Home Entertainment.
- According to LG, all of its 3D glasses can be used in theaters showing 3D movies “since both CINEMA 3D and theaters utilize the same FPR and RealD technologies.”
- The company also announced new Smart TV features for 2012 in a separate press release, highlighting the new Magic Remote (with voice activation) and confirmation of Intel WiDi integration.
- “We’re not seeing any Google TV tie-ins here, LG is focusing on its homegrown ecosystem which it says now offers 1,200 apps (of course, that probably includes the thousand or so recently added via its deal with Chumby),” reports Engadget. “There’s no word on pricing for the glasses, but after this and announcing a 55-inch OLED prototype, we’re wondering what else the Lucky Goldstar folks will have up their sleeves at CES.”
- Where to see it: Central Hall
