At the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, LG have unveiled their latest cinema 3D TV designed specially to be free of flicker whilst maintaining the highest quality 3D picture possible.

The LW6500’s outstanding picture quality begins with LG’s proprietary Film-type Patterned Retarder panel, FPR for short. This panel optimizes the separation of images for the left and right eyes before being filtered through specially designed glasses to give viewers a great crisp image. Because these glasses use LG’s Cinema 3DTM technology, they do not require shutters in the glasses that can be the cause of flicker. This innovation earned LG a ‘Flicker Free’ certificate from Intertek and TUV, two of the most respected inspection and certification bodies in the world, making it the first 3DTV to receive this designation.

For consumers this means a 3D viewing experience that is much less likely to result in eye fatigue, whilst they also weigh in at just 16grams due to a lack of any electrical components meaning they never need charging and are much lower in cost. This also means that the screen does not need to be viewed from an optimal angle, making it the perfect 3D experience to enjoy with family and friends.

Another great piece of technology used by the LW6500 is 3D Light Boost, which is a thin film covering the screen that ensures 3D images are shown at maximum brightness. This all comes alongside LG’s Smart TV technology including access to LG Apps and a range of premium content via BBA iPlayer, and YouTube amongst others.

The LW6500 will be available to selected markets shortly after its introduction at CES.
