Life’s Good with Optimus 3D
August 17th, 2011 by Dave@LGUK
On July 26, New York City’s Terminal 5 venue rocked to the sound of Jane’s Addiction, as 1,500 fans packed in to see the alt-rock heroes. Twenty-six years after they formed, the musical veterans put in a storming show that had the crowds whooping for more.

The Mobile Revolution Begins
August 10th, 2011 by Dave@LGUK
The LG Play Hub is going to be back in Canary Wharf from 11 to 16 August - and it's going to be a homecoming of sorts.
Canary Wharf was the backdrop to the launch of the Optimus 3D phone on July 14, when The Only Way is Essex stars Mark Wright and James Argent rubbed shoulders with besuited workers to check out the handset's capabilities in the flesh. If you've got one of fantastic Optimus 3D phones or perhaps an LG Smart Cinema3D TV here are their 3D antics!
In addition to letting people get up close and personal with the...

Try out Cinema 3D at the LG Life’s Good Lounge Tour nationwide
April 21st, 2011 by Dave@LGUK
2011 is that year that we at LG get fully behind Cinema 3D. We firmly believe that it is the ideal technology for consumer use in the home – offering a much more comfortable experience than active shutter technology due to the reduction in cross-talk, flicker and the lightweight nature of the glasses. Due to the glasses being polarized they are also considerably cheaper, costing as little as £2 per pair in comparison to £100 for the active glasses. We also supply 7 pairs in the box making Cinema 3D the ideal 3D experience to share with family and friends.

I recently introduced the LG Home event that took place early last week in a rather decadent townhouse just off Tottenham Court Road in Central London. The idea behind the event was to stage an event where journalists and bloggers could come along and have a look at LG’s new range of Home Entertainment products as they would be set up ideally in the home. There was a number of the LG team on hand to conduct tours around the home and to answer any questions that visitors may have.
I was lucky enough to make it to the house twice...
