LG Cinema Screen Design sports super thin bezel at 1mm
LG has been pushing its flavor of 3DTV as Cinema 3D, and now it has slipped the theater related
nomenclature onto another feature, the 1mm thin LCD bezels it has dubbed "Cinema Screen". It claims
this move brings the experience closer to the theater, but that's not the only new feature for 2012.
LG announced it will offer Dual Play, where it uses polarized glasses to let two different players
see only their perspective on the full screen at once in games that support it. Vizio demonstrated
the feature last year as Versus and Sony brought it to market in the PlayStation 3D display.
We'll likely get more time with those razor thin bezels once CES is truly underway, for now check
after the break for the press release.
And here you thought your 60-inch LED TV was cool. These new LG Cinema 3D Smart TVs ($TBA) up the
home entertainment ante with a 55-inch OLED model and a monstrous 84-inch UD model that sports a
crazy 3840x2160 panel, ensuring it'll be useful for years to come. Other features include bezels as
little as 1mm (!), access to over 1,200 apps, newly redesigned 3D glasses, and supermodel-thin bodies.
This kind of optimal setting is perfect for immersive 3D viewing, and when one applies the theory of
3D TV technology, Dual Play has been slated to be the suitable solution for an ultimate gaming
experience. The introduction of LG’s Dual Play function and the special Dual Play glasses will
enable players to view two entirely different full images, compared to the traditional split screen
display where you only have halve the screen to focus on. In addition to that, 3D Sound Zooming will
generate audio output so that it will be synchronized with the location and movement of the various
on-screen objects, enabling immersive sound to complement immersive visuals.
The company will also reveal new Cinema 3D glasses set to hit the market this year that are reportedly
20-percent lighter than the previous model. Also exposed will be LG's Dual Play glasses and technology
that allows gamers to play simultaneously in a split-screen environment on one TV but still view full
screens via the glasses.
And, most importantly, both films are inconceivable outside of a movie theatre, where you are transported
not just by the images but the laughter, the wide-eyed exhilaration, the sense of being at one with the
world.
