In addition, LG Smart TV also offers many free games and paid.
LG Smart TV has an integrated web browser, but unfortunately it does not support Adobe Flash or HTML5 so users can not view the video clips right on your browser.

Samsung Apps

Testing two Samsung HDTV line and PN51D6500 UN46D8000 integrated online application store Apps Samsung, Smart TV platform of Korean electronics firms also bring many benefits to users.

Select TV 3D or Plasma LED technology

3D LED TV extensive quantitative model, screen size and technology photo slideshows, and 3D Plasma has the price, quality piece.

One of the main concerns of the current user 3D TV is using LED LCD TV or Plasma would be appropriate for 3D entertainment needs.

2D as well as TV, to consider whether LED or plasma display technology is better is very hard to answer. Depending on the money, ask about the quality, power consumption, LED or plasma has pros and cons of various 3D.

3D TV using LCD technology with LED backlight.

3D LED TV diversified technology, including 3D active, passive glasses to the type without glasses.

Just like 2D, 3D product line, the LCD HDTV models use LED backlighting (LED TV) dominate over the traditional CCFL LCD and Plasma. The common, the ability to save energy with the design assessment makes much more beautiful than the manufacturer currently selected LED screen is preferred for 3D technology.

Almost all existing 3D LED TVs on the market offers a resolution of Full HD standard screen sizes from 18 to 65 inch, full use of technologies such as 3D presentation with active shutter glasses, passive polarized glasses with cheap or even without glasses as some of the Toshiba model.

So choose a 3D TV LED model requires users also need to calculate carefully. 3D TV LED active shutter glasses for the picture quality will be unstable, prone to the phenomenon of flashing and her husband in the environment is too bright. Meanwhile, the TV LED 3D passive polarized glasses is a more stable image quality, no flicker noise, but will have to sacrifice resolution of Full HD.

Select TV LED to serve the needs 3D, buyers should also note that the LCD backlight LED direct form gives good picture quality, deeper edge LED LCD (LED Edge-lit).

Thus, the advantages in choosing LED 3D TV screens are thin in design and ability to save energy than Plasma 3D thanks to LED backlighting.

The 3D LED TVs notable

Pros

- 3D LED TV is passive no image flicker and husband.

- Most models are Full HD 1080p resolution.

- Save energy than Plasma.

- Beautifully designed and thinner designs.

- Screen size varies from 18 to 65 inch type.

Cons

- The 3D model is actively experiencing the flicker and husband.

- Plasma inferior to the contrast, depth and ability to perform the black.

- More expensive than the same sized Plasma 3D, including 3D model passive.

Overview

- TV LED TV is still dominant in the line of 3D products and promises to be the company continues to improve image quality in the future.

3D TV using plasma screen technology.

Plasma samples with high-quality 3D images better and more stable LED.

3D TV using plasma screen technology have fewer options. In Vietnam, the buyer can select the model from Panasonic, LG or Samsung, with size limited only a few sizes like 42, 50 or 65 inch.

For Plasma 3D, screen resolution must also divided into 2 categories, high and low. The model better price from 10 to 20 million common resolution is 1024 x 768 pixel XGA and HD Ready 1365 x 768 pixels. Meanwhile, the more expensive new model is equipped with Full HD resolution.

Another point to note that the choice of technology for 3D Plasma TV is very limited. All models are available on the market today are using 3D technology initiative, used with shutter glasses.

However, in return for this property Plasma display technology with the ability to scan high contrast makes extensive 3D performance on Plasma proved stable and better than the 3D LED. Popular images showing smooth, no noise, flicker and ultra wide viewing angle. For example, high-end Plasma 3D model of Panasonic VT20 proved superior image quality compared to many other 3D LED rivals.

In addition, the same size, choose 3D Plasma TV is always cheaper than LED 3D TV. For example, the 42 inch size, users have to spend nearly 24 million for the 3D model of the Samsung LED D6000 model is the LG Plasma's PW450, the amount spent just over 11 million.

Advantages of 3D Plasma TV is picture quality and price. However, this product line has little choice in design, style and size of the screen with 3D TV LED. Plasma display technology is also said to "consume" power than LCD.

Pros

- There is no phenomenon of the husband.

- Using shutter glasses but not the phenomenon in some dark corner of the die.

- The contrast and black depth of the highest in the 3D TV.

- Wide viewing angle.

- Price is very competitive.

Cons

- LED lower resolution in the low-cost model, 42 and 50 inch sizes.

- Design thicker, heavier.

- Language Power.

- The number of model restrictions.

Overview

For those who require high quality, 3D TV Plasma screens would be a good choice. However for 3D Plasma competitive with LED 3D model should have many more. The 3D Plasma TVs notable

LG to launch 55-inch OLED TV

It is reported unexpectedly from the Executive Director of LG Electronics, Mr. Kwon Young-soo, the South Korean media reported at the meeting the business of the company in the second quarter.

Pictures Engadget

Kwon Young-Soo told reporters not to focus on efforts to develop the technology OLED (organic light-emitting diode), mainly used for tablet PCs and other mobile devices. The reason is that there are currently many gaps in technology AH-IPS (Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching) LCD.

Kwon said: "We will not invest more mobile sector, because the OLED business will profit less than other products in the field of mobile phones."

Instead of investing in OLED displays for mobile phones, the company will put all his effort into OLED TV screen larger, and it will launch 55-inch OLED TV in the second half of next year.

He acknowledged that LG will produce a volume of at tens of thousands of units of products by manufacturing facilities are limited, but it will expand a mass production system through observation of market reaction the star field.

Reportedly, the TV market accounted for half the sales of LG Display. Large OLED screens promise to help companies get more profit.

Android programmers can start writing applications for Google TV

Google has introduced version of "preview" of the Android programming tool that allows developers to write software for Google TV devices.

Kenghe Ambarish, one of TV product management at Google said: "The time to upgrade to OS updates Honeycomb approaching, Google TV devices will soon be compatible with Android. This means that the development Development can now build applications for Android innovative new Google TV, optimizing the existing applications on Tablet PC or mobile phone for Google TV, and carried them through the distribution Android Market ".

The biggest names in Silicon Valley as Google, Yahoo, Intel and Apple in recent years have tried to study how to connect the TV to the Internet. The goal is to bring a new interactive experience for users while providing the opportunity to exploit a large revenue stream from advertising. But this has not become reality because users often prefer the more passive experience, besides the company create and distribute content are often the guise of the partners in the way they regarded as more developed yourself. Therefore, Google TV until this point has not been favored people.

Put a fun script that these days, the application seems to rage as to operate in tight little space area. We think we will succeed and stand out more if you are operating on a larger screen. They protest and demanding to be liberated by those who created them.

And here, the Android Market is a huge amount of applications and will be on the increase in the future. The interaction of mobile applications for the tablet does not seem to be the top priority that Android programmers think. Because in fact, the tablet with touch screen and keyboard just like a mobile phone expand, so the compatibility of applications between devices is easy. The problem is that programmers are really interested in is how the application can operate effectively on TV, often lack a touch screen and keyboard, especially to own a bigger screen lot.

Kenghe that adds plug-in for Android SDK (software development tools) will enable programmers to easily accomplish what you want: "Depending on the design and use cases, an Android application that can work well on Google TV or arising errors must edit. And with a system of add-on utility is our equipment, you can test their applications in order to determine it is appropriate for Google TV or not? We also offer guidelines UI (user interface) to help you with specific topics such as optimizing the navigation D-pad, demonstration for the "10-foot viewing", how to design applications that work well on devices ...".

Kenghe said Google does not expect an explosion of applications Google TV and predicted that "the number of applications for Google TV will initially be no more." Learning from the tough times that Google TV has gone through by the hasty statement, this statement appears to be a relatively safe and appropriate.

Nothing to say when plug-in SDK version "final" was formally introduced, along with Google TV products are upgraded to Honeycomb and a super special tablet - Version 3 Android appears.

Apple will announce three HD TVs in March 2012?

Apple may release a HD TV (high definition TV) in March 2012 with 3 screen sizes as a statement of the Wall Street Journal.

Trip Chowdhry researchers have noted with investors that he is a more complete look at the new Apple TV-based information and selected from a number of events that he attended.

Chowdhry said the most similar product form of the Apple TV is a Bose VideoWave, with 46 inch screen and integrated surround sound speaker system. VideoWave is the purpose of simplifying the HD TV by reducing redundant information as well as improved picture quality and sound.

Information on the Apple HD TV models in the prediction of Chowdhry:

• The time of appearance will be March 2012.
• The opponent will be the Bose VideoWave TVs (using 3 cables, about 15 cm thick and has 16 speakers), samples of the Apple TV is expected to be only one cable, thin with 1 / 3 VideoWave and has 16 speakers .
• While Bose's products have only one screen size and price (46 inch and $ 5,200), the model of Apple TV will have three screen sizes and three different prices.
• The chip DSP (digital signal processors) will be a completely new product from Apple bought chip design firm PA Semi (now the new chips are not mass produced).

This is not the first appearance of information on Apple-branded TVs. So by joining TV market, Apple has ambitions to improve the user experience to a new height. And the leading TV manufacturers such as Samsung , LG will deal like? Let's wait and see.
