LG in Korea officially a new hdtv flagship model, the ge lwa site. The LW980s is the successor of the current LX9500 and used, instead of active 3d technology, the passive variant. The tv has a full led backlight.
On the CES of the beginning of this year introduced the LG Cinema 3D tv-series, based on LG’s Film Patterned Retarder-film layer. The top model of this series is the LW650s, a midrange tv with edge-lit led backlight. LG showed at that fair also to the above-specified LZ9700 and the LW9500 active 3d. Both would be fitted with leds behind the panel and local dimming, but the LW9500 could be the thinner Nano Led technology, which LG introduced in its LEX8-hdtv. The launch of the LZ9700 and LW9500, however, was postponed.
LG in Korea, and now officially the LW980s is introduced, which some of the specifications relates to a renamed LW9500 should be called. Just like the current LX9500 makes the LW980s use With 400Hz technology in combination with a 200Hz panel, but this is at the LW980s with the passive-3d-film layer of LG. This means that for viewing 3d content cheap, passive 3d glasses be used.
Just as the LEX8, which, incidentally, is not released in Europe, makes the LW980s use of LG’s Nano Led technology. This technology makes it possible to have very flat screen tv’s with local dimming, by the use of thin leds that are very close after the panel is positioned, and an improved low light level needs to disseminate.
The LW980s is equipped with LG’s new iptv platform Smart TV. The tv will be at the IFA 2011 fair in Berlin at the beginning of september, for the first time shown to the public at large. Also more details on the tv.
