LG’s announcement of a series of technological advancements in “LED Backlighting” designed to enable a more robust picture was met with approval, particularly the wireless super-slim LED LH9500 model, pictured below, which was honoured with a CES Innovations Award.

Our advanced LED Backlight technology precisely controls the brightness of specific areas of the screen and coupled with our TruMotion 200Hz technology, creates an amazingly natural picture,” said George Mead, marketing manager for digital display at LG Electronics UK. “Our new slim LED model enhances our full line of stylish HDTVs and illustrates our leadership in the evolving LCD market.

The new LED Backlight technology creates a dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1 and incorporates TruMotion 200Hz technology for extraordinary moving picture quality, together this provides a more satisfying viewing experience with clearer and more natural images, a deeper black level and vivid colour.

Unlike other slim LEDs which use “edge” lighting, the new LED LCD HDTV uses a full array of LED Backlights which employ local dimming technology for precise picture control, resulting in deeper black level, wide colour gamut and smoother motion.

Additionally, LG’s new TruMotion 200Hz technology virtually eliminates motion blur and reduces image smearing, for a crisper, more natural picture. The use of LG’s advanced Super IPS panels further helps eliminate motion blur, even during the fastest moving scenes. The combination of these innovative technologies allows for one of the lowest response times on an LCD TV. Consumers will also enjoy the Smart Energy Saving technology built into the TV.

TruMotion 200Hz is a unique scanning backlight technology to improve motion picture response time from 100Hz to 200Hz to virtually eliminate motion blur, even during the fastest moving scenes in movies and sports.
