Available in July.

 

THX Display Certification

An industry benchmark for video and sound quality, THX Display Certification signifies that an HDTV delivers exceptional images, bringing more immersive movie, broadcast and video game experiences to your living room. THX Ltd. was founded by George Lucas with the idea to develop technologies and certification programs that help deliver the true sights and sounds of films and other media exactly like it was created. THX Display testing is focused on video signal processing and front of screen analysis to ensure that each display can present all HD and standard definition content at the maximum resolution with the correct color and luminance levels.

Learn the benefits of LED

What is a backlit LED TV?

Today, rear-projection TVs typically use bulbs to illuminate their screens, which dim over time and need to be replaced. LCD TVs usually use cold compact cathode fuorescent lamps (CCFL), which limit color rendition. LEDs on the other hand, provide a wider range of colors, do not need to be replaced and use less power.
LG’s full array backlighting employs local dimming technology for detailed control of the LED backlights based on the picture on the screen. This local dimming capability divides the LEDs into independent areas which are automatically dimmed or brightened corresponding to the brightness of individual sections of the image, which is not possible with “edge” type LED sets. The result is an incredible dynamic contrast ratio measured in millions:1, amazing clarity, more natural color representation and color detail, faster response time for smoother, more natural picture motion as well as a more energy efficient set. LED backlighting pushes picture quality to our best levels yet.

Direct LED vs Edge LED

While edge-lit LED HDTVs use up to 400 LEDs that edge light the TV screen, LG uses up to 1500 LEDs in its backlighting array. The end result is richer colors and black levels so deep that they achieve THX® display certification.

Learn the benefit of LG's Invisible Speaker System

Fine tuned by renowned high-end audio expert Mr. Mark Levinson, LG TVs utilize a unique speaker system that delivers a clean, polished look and enhanced audio with a wider sound field. Concealed within the frame of LG’s HDTVs, the Invisible Speaker System creates an acoustic ‘sweet spot’ to completely surround you in deep, rich sound.

Hear every word with LG's Clear Voice II

A reporter’s voice at the scene of a hot scoop buried by the sounds of the surrounding scene making her inaudible? Clear Voice II dramatically enhances and amplifies the frequency range of the human voice by increasing the dialog range up to six positions to help keep dialogue audible when background noise swells. Want the realism of a battle scene by hearing the surrounding effects as much as the actor’s lines? Clear Voice II can also decrease the dialog range by six positions so that special effects or soundtrack are more prominent - putting you in control.

Customized to your content

LG HDTVs include 3 AV Modes preset to optimize picture and sound settings based on Cinema, Sports or Game content which can be easily set with a convenient button on the remote control. Cinema Mode is pre-calibrated to the standard D65 standard white for a film like experience. Sport Mode enhances primary colors and Game Mode edge enhancement with greater black levels.
