LG and Jumbo officials at the new Smart TV launch.
LG Electronics (LG) unveiled its new Smart TV line-up at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Doha recently. The 2013 Smart TV line-up offers easier content access and sharing along with an updated Magic Remote for a simplified, intuitive user experience.
“LG always strives to provide the most engaging, most convenient user experience to consumers in the region,” said D Y Kim, President of LG Electronics, Gulf FZE. “We have been singularly uncompromising, both in developing and improving the LG Smart TV platform. As a result, we are confident that our 2013 models with an intuitive user control via the Magic Remote will shatter all expectations and demonstrate that LG has moved the medium of smart TV forward.”
Speaking at the launch, C V Rappai, Director and General Manager of Jumbo Electronics, said: “The all-new LG TV line-up 2013 is the ultimate in user experience and unparalleled in the industry with many unique features which LG has to offer. This new line-up will further enhance our market share in the LED and 3D category to be the leaders in providing innovative technology and solutions to the ever demanding customers.”
He thanked all patrons for their confidence in the LG range of products and services.
Also present on the occasion were top officials from leading hypermarkets and LG dealers.
LG’s flagship model, the 55-inch LA 8600, offers Smart Control with its enhanced Smart Home Interface, which allow users to easily access their favourite programmes and premium and local content. The Magic Remote has been redesigned to fine-tune content and menu navigation, making interaction as simple and intuitive as possible. The device incorporates the fundamental control capabilities of Magic Remotes — point, wheel, gesture and voice recognition.
The enhanced SmartShareTM feature offers users the ability to mirror or transfer content from smart devices to LG Smart TVs via a multitude of connectivity options, including WiDi and Miracast. The 2013 line-up will enhance inter-device sharing further by implementing Tag On. This feature immediately connects two devices for speedy media sharing. To use Tag On, the user simply holds a smartphone or other NFC-enabled device against the NFC sticker on a 3D Smart TV.
The new 2013 models embody LG’s minimalist Cinema Screen Design. The TV’s bezels have been significantly reduced to provide a greater sense of immersion. The Magic Stand further enhances the effect, enabling the screen to appear to be floating.
