August 31st, 2010 by joeO

Combine this with an Anti-Reflection Panel on the LEX8 screen to minimize reflection from...

Glee star teaches text education with LG
August 26th, 2010 by joeO
Neither parents nor children enjoy ‘those’ conversations about the serious issues. Discussing sex with your children or parents is undoubtedly a necessity, but what is the best way to broach the subject?
LG are offering parents in the US a helping hand with a video they have produced on the subject of ‘sexting’ (the distribution of pictures or pictures of a sexual nature via your mobile device, or making sweet sweet text as one nerd says in the video). The video is presented by Jane Lynch, better known as Sue Sylvester from Glee, as part of the LG Text Ed campaign....

August 25th, 2010 by joeO

Blu-ray may still be holding its place at the top end of home entertainment, but competitors have to offer more than just a standard player to remain competitive. This is where the LG BD570 Blu-ray player comes in, offering more than just excellent quality Blu-ray playback, with Home Cinema Choice awarding it 4 stars and the Home Cinema Choice Best Buy award for its abilities as a Media Centre featuring Wi-Fi & DLNA.

The Lord of the Rings Party – Our Third Home Entertainment Hero Winner
August 20th, 2010 by joeO
I’m sure we all know someone who boasts of having watched all three Lord of the Rings films back to back. They are great films, but that’s over 9 hours spent sat on the sofa and I just don’t have the patience.
So massive respect to Sophie Read and friends who not only watched the full extended trilogy, but also did so dressed up as characters from the film. That’s 9 hours spent dressed like Gandalf for one poor chap! But Sophie has been rewarded for her dedication by being named the August winner for our Home Entertainment Hero competition and...

SmartDiagnosis allows for a quick and easy fix
August 17th, 2010 by joeO
There are certain moments in life where you suddenly become unable to articulate your sentiments. Like when you’re at the doctors trying to explain the pain in your foot, but the words escape you and you end up pointing at your foot saying “it hurts” over and over. Well it’s a shame your foot is not made by LG because if it was you would simply be able to press a button and hold it up to the phone and the engineer on the other end would know the fault via SmartDiagnosis.
LG haven’t moved into the prosthetic limb business, instead...
