LG Introduces a New Innovation in LED TV Technology

LG, a manufacturer of TVs and other electronics, introduced a new line of light-emitting diode (LED) high definition televisions at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Among these new releases were the LW9500 and LW7700, which are both 1080p widescreen HDTVs that pack plenty of features into an exceptionally slim package. Better yet, both TVs are 3D compatible, meaning you can watch 3D content, such as movies and some satellite programming, from the comfort of your home.

LG is calling their new line of HDTVs the INFINIA NANO FULL LED series. The LW9500 is available in a 55 inch or a 60 inch diagonal screen while the LW7700 offers a 47 inch or 55 inch version. The new NANO lighting technology reportedly provides improved image quality, color clarity and screen illumination over past LED TVs. This new back-lighting technology uses 240 equally spaced lighting blocks behind the screen to provide a more balanced and true picture quality compared to edge-lit LED TVs.

The NANO series of TVs feature some of the fastest processors ever seen in an LED television at up to 480 Hz for the top-of-the-line model. This virtually eliminates "ghosting" or blurring when viewing fast action sequences and sporting events on the screen, and it is nearly on par with today's plasma screens.

LG has also equipped this new line of LEDs with a full suite of web apps it calls SmartTV. SmartTV allows you to have on-screen access to web video, movies, apps and the Internet. This is a trend you'll see popping up in most new TVs in 2011 and beyond.

LG has not yet announced prices or an availability date for these new TVs (As of Feb., 2011).
