AVForums review the EL9500 – Our first OLED!
July 21st, 2010 by joeO
OLED has been a buzzword for a few years now, heralded as THE technology that will revolutionize home entertainment. Aside from Sony’s 11inch offering that was launched 2 years ago (and is subsequently no longer in production) there has been little in the way of OLED available for the consumer market. Well LG’s commitment to new technologies strikes again with the arrival of the 15inch EL9500 OLED, in selected stores now!
You may well be asking yourself not only is this technology any good, but is this TV any good? Well according to AVForums it’s excellent!
Measuring in at a ridiculously super-slim...

LG welcome more additions to the 3D family with a projector, monitor & notebook
July 19th, 2010 by joeO
The current 3D revolution started in the cinemas and has already made the step into the Home Cinema world. Well the next logical step is for 3D to ingratiate itself into the world of Video Gaming, where a more immersive experience is always happily welcomed.
Well LG are doing that with the release of their 3D Monitor, the W63D. Specially designed with gamers in mind, the W63D is full HD and has 400 cd/m² brightness to really bring the games to life, as well as being rated at 172Hz per second in order to minimize blur during particularly fast action.
The W63D...

The Blair Itch – our Second Home Entertainment Hero Winner!
July 16th, 2010 by joeO
The first time I saw The Blair Witch Project I thought it was real and I was terrified! I think it is only surpassed in the length of time it made me sleep with the lights on by The Exorcist (and I was FAR too young to watch The Exorcist when I did). I mention this because the second winner for the Home Entertainment Hero competition has been selected with his excellent video showcasing his Blair Witch Project film night.
Matt Milne was the lucky winner and he really did go all out turning his living room into the forest from...

Cricket star James Anderson is bowled over by 3DTV
July 15th, 2010 by joeO
In last weekend’s Mail on Sunday Live magazine supplement, England Cricket star James Anderson shifts his skills from the green to the living room with his review of the 47-inch LG LD950 3DTV.
James is a man who knows his technology, spending so much time on the road that it is necessary to keep himself entertained, however before sitting down in front of the passive technology LD950 James had never experienced 3D – in the home or cinema! His first thoughts were how the “3D effect really draws you in and the sense of depth to the picture is incredibly realistic”.

July 13th, 2010 by joeO
Our current Home Entertainment Hero competition is giving those hosts who make the extra effort the chance to win an excellent full 3D home cinema system.

The BD570 Blu-ray & the LE8900 LED TV get 5 star reviews
June 29th, 2010 by joeO
The great reviews for LG’s technology keep rolling in as Techradar award the BD570 media streamer an excellent 5 stars and ask the ultimate question, ‘is it a media streamer that plays Blu-rays, or vice versa?
The review highlights the quality of the BD570 as both a media player and as a Blu-ray player, all in a small shell. It is assessed on its ability to playback a wide range of media files including avi, .DivX, .mpg, .mkv, .mp4, .wma, .jpg, .jpeg and .png, Blu-ray, DVD and even audio and passes all tests emphatically.
The closing comment of the review states “The...
