Smart TV – limitless content
May 18th, 2011 by Dave@LGUK
At this year’s CES in Las Vegas one of the big themes was ‘Smart’. This included smartphones, smart-grid technology and even smart fridges that can tell you when your food is going out of date. This year LG have launched their first range of TVs equipped with Smart TV – allowing you to access the best of the internet through your TV.
We have already looked at how easy it is to use (link) and now we are going to look at the wide range of content available via Smart TV.
Premium Content
BBC iPlayer was the first of the on demand services and proved so successful that a lot of the other major UK channels have followed suit and created their own on demand channels. And it is not surprising that iPlayer is so popular, allowing access to your favourite TV and Radio content from the BBC at the click of a button. That’s why we have included iPlayer with Smart TV, giving you the option when to watch your favourite BBC programs on your TV.
But streaming does not end with iPlayer, we also give access to VIEWSTER and Acetrax that offer a wide range of movies and TVs to stream direct to your TV.
Beyond streaming there is a wide range of apps to help make your life easier. These include the practical like AccuWeather and Google Maps, through to fun like YouTube and Accedo (that allows you to play games), right down to the absolutely essential apps – Facebook and Twitter!
LG App Store
If you are looking for a little more then there are hundreds of apps to download in the LG app store offering something for everyone. And we mean everyone – ranging from language classes to polish your Francais or games to keep the kids quiet!
And if that wasn’t limitless enough, don’t forget Smart TV also comes with an internet Browser to access anything we may have missed!
Smart TV is also available on our LW550T and LW650T flagship Cinema 3D sets!

CES 2011: LG’s Home Entertainment range for 2011
January 5th, 2011 by Dave@LGUK
Today LG announced their new home entertainment range for 2011 at CES in Las Vegas, including cinema 3D TVs (passive 3D), Smart TVs and super slim OLED technology.
The new 3D TVs add to LG’s already extensive 3D range, with the LED Cinema screens (LW450U, LW550T AND LW650T) being a world first offering consumers a comfortable and accessible 3D home cinema experience. Using the same polarized glasses that are used in cinemas that don’t require any charging, the new Cinema 3D screens combine convenience and comfort with stylish design in sizes between 32” and 55”.
LG are also continuing their investment into Active 3D TV, with the announcement of further Full LED NANO 3D screens (LW770T and LW950T). Alongside these are new Plasma 3D TVs (PW450T, PZ250T, PZ550T, PZ570T and PZ950T) bolstering an already extensive 3D range, with nearly 50% of the 2011 TV range being 3D ready.
Another exciting new revelation from CES is Connected TV, named as a key focus for 2011 with 30% of next year’s TV range being fully equipped with Smart TV technology. Today’s announcement featured a redesigned Smart TV platform, including a new web-browser and app store, designed to make Internet TV even easier than ever before, especially when used with the magic motion remote control.
The new LG Smart Upgrade (ST560) allows consumers to receive LG Smart TV content on any TV with an HDMI input. The compact unit also enables wi-fi, DLNA and web browsing to ensure that all LG customers can experience the sofa-surfing experience offered by connected TV.
LG Smart TV Upgrader
As if this wasn’t enough, LG are continuing their development of OLED screens. Building off the success of the 15” EL9500 released last year at CES 2010, LG presented the largest commercially available OLED screen at IFA last year measuring in at 31”.
Stephen Gater, Head of Marketing Home Entertainment, commented: “LG is the fastest growing major TV brand in 2010 and has been for the past three years, having almost doubled in size since 2008. This growth is testament to LG’s role as an industry leader and sector innovator and its continued development of cutting edge technologies to ensure that the very best products are available for consumers.”
“2011 also promises to be another exciting year for LG, with an incredibly broad range of products incorporating new screen and content technologies – the way we watch TV is changing and LG is committed to helping consumers take advantage of these spectacular developments.
