LG 2010 Infinia TV line-up

Below you find LG’s complete 2010 line-up in LCD/LED, plasma, and OLED with pictures and specs. At the end of the article you’ll also find an overview chart and prices.LG 2010 line-up in outline
The 2010 line-up is biggest ever from LG. 2010 will be a year of innovation – and of course 3D.

LG has new LCD, LCD/LED, and plasma-TVs in the line-up. LG also has the world’s largest OLED-TV coming - a technology that we expect much from.
LG Infinia LX9500
LG has grown through recent years and has become bigger than ever. They control their own manufacturing sites just like Samsung and this enables LG to be very innovative.

A lot of the new LCD models in 2010 will feature LED backlights and some models will have backlit LED with local dimming. That does not mean that the models will be thick and bulky because the new models combines a slim profile with backlit LED and local dimming which is quite unique.
LG also has Edge LED models coming. The new Edge LED backlights will have limited local dimming as well with 8-12 local dimming zones.
LG EL9500 OLED-TV
LG believes that 3D will be big this year and they want to release both passive 3DTVs (with polarized glasses) and active 3DTVs (with shutter glasses).

LG has developed their Borderless Design even further in 2010. This year the top ranges will have very slim frames and very slim bezels.
NetCast has been improved as well. NetCast enables you to go online.

Some of the services include Vudu, YouTube and Netflix and more are been implemented as we speak.
Skype is a new feature as well allowing you to call up friends and grandparents (if you want to do that). The Skype camera supports 720p and will be sold separately at around 100-120 Euro.
LG PK950
LG also mentions a Wireless AV Link. This means that you can transmit video and audio wirelessly from a box to your TV. Other LG products will support the Wireless AV Link as well such as the new Blu-Ray players.
Some models incorporate Wireless AV Link – on other models it can be mounted at the back using Velcro.

LG has also developed a new 400 Hz technology. The new 400 Hz system is a 200 Hz frame interpolating tech and scanning backlights. 200 Hz on LG's new TVs means that a 100 Hz system has been incorporated together with scanning backlights.
Finally LG has incorporated a THX profile in some set. In 2010 some of the LCD/LED models will feature a THX profile as well. In 2009 only the LG plasma TVs utilized the THX profile. The new plasma TVs will feature a TruBlack filter, too, improving black reproduction.
