Earlier this year, an LG roadmap of upcoming product developments that just so happened to have been leaked to the media listed the LX9500 3D TV as a new TV to be available in commercial markets in May. Since that leaked document, there has been no further information about this product, that is until today.
The LX9500 lays its claim to fame as being the only available full LED 3D TV and that the innovative use of LED lights positioned directly behind the LCD are able to produce a contrast ratio of 10,000,000:1 which in turn translates into an amazing 3D effect.
The new range of television sets will be available in screen sizes between 47-inches to 55-inches and a common feature amongst them is the reduced footprint achieved through a 0.63-inch bezel and a 0.87-inch thickness. Some of the other features on the LX9500 include Skype video calling and of course Internet access. The LG 3D TV still does require the use of active shutter glasses but 40 hours of active use can be gained before the glasses require recharging which can be accomplished via a USB connection.
Korea will be the first market to receive the sets followed by North American and European markets this May. Pricing will be announced closer to the release date.
