I am a creature of habit – I have a cup of tea when I wake up and then when I arrive at work I have 2 pieces of toast with peanut butter. I like peanut butter, or more accurately I used to like peanut butter. To celebrate the launch of the lightning quick LG Optimus 2X we are running the ‘Speed Challenge’ on our Facebook page.

April 18th, 2011 by Dave@LGUK
 

Grand Designs Live returns to London’s ExCel Centre from the 30th of April to the 8th of May. A must in the calendar for any fans of the show, Grand Designs Live has something for everyone.

LG will be showing off their latest Cinema 3D products as well as Smart TV and our super slim OLED TVs.

Also on display will be our Smart TV technology that allows consumers to access a web browser, downloadable apps and a range of great features including access to Twitter, Facebook, BBC i-Player, Acetrax and VIEWSTER, both of which allow you to stream movies straight to your TV.

If gaming is more your thing why not try your hand at our F1 challenge? You will be seated in an F1 simulator developed by leading motorsport simulation company rFactor, as you take on a course in 3D on an LG 3D monitor. The person with the fastest time at the end of the Gadget Show Live event will win a fantastic Cinema 3D package!

Also on display will be LG’s Smart TV application, fresh from a January launch at CES in Las Vegas. Smart TV builds on last year’s NetCast technology by adding an internet browser, downloadable apps and a whole host more great features including Twitter, Facebook, BBC i-Player, and Acetrax and VIEWSTER both allowing you to stream movies to your TV.

We have two pairs of tickets for the show, one pair for Wednesday the 13th of April and one for Saturday the 16th.
