LG Electronics unveiled the next generation of FULL LED TVs featuring NANO Lighting Technology as well as the "HD Sound Bar," a home theater accessory, at its CES Sneak Peek event in New York City. The LW9500 and LW7700 NANO FULL LED TV series feature the NANO Lighting Technology, which produces LG's brightest, clearest and smoothest picture yet. An extremely thin film printed with a proprietary light dispersion pattern combined with a full array of LEDs disperses light more evenly across the screen, creating pictures that are brighter and more uniform than conventional edge-lit LED sets. What's more, an Anti-Reflection Panel on the screen minimizes reflection from external light sources, including sunlight.

The LW9500 and LW7700 boast improved localized dimming in both 2D and 3D with their Micro Pixel Control. By manipulating individual LED blocks, Micro Pixel Control adds even greater range and life to colors, from the deepest, darkest blacks to the most natural colors. The LW9500 is further enhanced by LG's TruMotion 480Hz, while the LW7700 features LG's TruMotion 240Hz, both of which deliver super-fast processing rates for moving images making them virtually blur-free.

As LG's picture technology continues to evolve, so does its INFINIA Design. The ultra-slim profile of the NANO backlighting unit enables overall set depth and bezel to be as thin as less than one inch.

Both the LW9500 and LW7700 deliver LG's best 3D images yet. By ensuring a more uniform distribution of light from the LED backlight panels, the NANO series illuminates the screen more effectively for 3D pictures of high clarity and brightness.

Screen sizes range from 47- to 60-inch classes. The LG NANO FULL LED TVs are also undergoing THX 2D and 3D Display Certification. Lg said that it would announce additional details on the models including specs, pricing and availability at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show in January.

LG also today previewd the LG "HD Sound Bar," a home theater accessory designed to elevate audio performance.

Available early next year, the LG HD Sound Bar enhances the audio output of an HDTV by adding additional speakers and subwoofer capabilities to produce powerful 2.1 channel virtual surround sound. The LSB316 includes six speaker drivers housed in a sleek speaker bar which can be placed directly below the TV or wall mounted. The bar is accompanied by a wireless subwoofer which can be placed out of sight while delivering deep bass. The HD Sound Bar's slim design allows for easy wall mounting, which matches up with a 42-inch class screen, one of the most popular class sizes sold in the United States.

The LSB316 also includes Bluetooth capability which allows the user to wirelessly stream music from their Bluetooth-enabled smart phone, tablet PC or MP3 player to the bar. The Bluetooth function can also transmit sound from a TV program to compatible headphones for late-night viewing without disturbing anyone else in the household.
