LG looks to be taking a page from MSI’s playbook, with another big announcements before CES 2011 kicks off. This time the Korean manufacturer has announced the LGW6500 Cinema 3D TV, a flicker free 3D TV that does not require shutter glasses — saving money and also easier on your eyes. Ready to learn more?
LG began their CES 2011 assault with a range of 3D AV devices, followed up with the world’s largest full LED 3D TV and now they are breaking ground with a new Cinema 3D TV, the LG LW6500. Unlike traditional 3D technology, LG’s Cinema 3D TVs do not require shutter glasses, instead images are displayed on the LW6500 are entirely free of flicker. Certification from Intertek and TUV, two of the most respected certification bodies in the world, mean the LW6500 is the first 3D TV in the world to receive the “flicker free” designation.
You’ll still need a pair of 3D glasses to use the LG LW6500, but the flicker-free image will make the 3D viewing more comfortable and “far less likely to induce eye fatigue”. Weighing in at just 16 grams, the included 3D glasses have no electrical parts and never need to be recharged. Most importantly, the glasses are far less expensive compare to traditional shutter glasses so buying a dozen pairs for family and friends is not a life-changing investment.
Like all of LG’s new line of TVs, the LG LW6500 uses Smart TV technology, bringing LG’s library of apps and premium content to your living room from services such as HuluPlus, YouTube and others. Other key tidbits on the LW6500 include the TruMotion 200Hz processor, 2D to 3D conversion, DivX Plus/HD, DLNA,WiFi/DVR ready and HDMI 1.4. That stat sheet never seems to end with the LW6500, but one thing is for certain — we’ll put the set through its paces at CES in a couple of weeks.
It looks like LG is ready to take on the home cinema market with a complete set of 3D audio visual gear and at least two stellar TVs. Anyone else considering making the switch to 3D now that there’s finally a ground breaking product like the LW6500 that eliminates the outrageous price of 3D glasses?
