The star of the range is the world’s narrowest (1mm) bezel 3D TV, which has won the CES 2012 ‘Innovation Award’ and the ‘2012 reddot design award.’
“LG is aiming for the number one slot in Qatar’s TV market with the new range,” said James Kim, general manager, TV division, LG Electronics Gulf.
Comfortable and immersive 3D, limitless content, and the ease of using and connecting are among the salient features of LG’s 2012 Cinema 3D Smart TV line-up.
A demonstration proved that the TV offers impressive 3D images even from a 180 degree viewing angle.
The unique, lightweight (16gm) 3D glasses which do not require battery power, 3D depth control, 3D sound zooming, 2D to 3D conversion, over 1,200 Smart TV apps, and ‘magic remote’ are among the features.
“LG, which has established its number one position across premium 3D Smart TV segment as per data provided by GFK, a leading global market research company, takes the 3D TV user-experience to superlative levels,” Kim claimed.

The magic remote combines the functions of pointing, gesture and wheel scrolling. The 3D World provides access to a constantly growing library of 3D movies, games, sports and TV shows.
The new 3D depth control lets users adjust the depth, or the distance between the on-screen objects, of a 3D movie or TV show they are watching.
The 3D sound zooming feature generates a 3D sound that is synchronised with the displayed 3D content, allowing users to not only see, but also hear in 3D.
The Dual Play function allows dual-player games to be played on a Cinema 3D Smart TV without having to split the screen.
The new Cinema 3D Smart TVs offer a variety of connectivity features. The newest among them is Wireless Display, which enables easy and quick connection between TV and personal computer (PC) with Intel’s WiDi Technology. The 2D to 3D conversion engine converts all existing 2D movies and TV shows into 3D. “LG will be introducing an 84’’ Cinema 3D Smart TV in the second half of this year,” Kim added.
Video Home & Jumbo Electronics executive director Sajed Jassim Sulaiman said the new line-up would be priced in the range of QR12,000 to QR15,000.
Assistant general manager Mohamed Anis added that LG has a 25% market share in the 3D TV segment in Qatar. South Korean ambassador Chang See Jeong, Video Home & Jumbo Electronics vice-chairman and managing director Jassim M Sulaiman, and LG Electronics Gulf Audio Video Division general manager Jungkil Park were also present. The new 2012 Cinema 3D Smart TV Series from LG is available throughout Qatar in all leading hypermarkets and retail stores.
