LG LX 9500 LED 3D HDTV Gets Official [LG Announces 22.3-mm Thin LX9500 LED 3D HDTV; Our Brains Announce Upcoming Headaches]
So what do you say, TV fans out there, are you ready to go to the next level when it comes to TV watching? I am, of course, referring to 3D HDTVs, one of 2010’s trends which became more than obvious at CES this year.

Plenty of TV manufacturers and TV networks are already conceiving plans about pitching more 3D products to us. We’ll have to warn them though that watching lots of 3D show will seriously mess with our heads and we simply won’t stand for too many 3D-releated headaches no matter how cool 3D HDTVs are about to become.
One such 3D-loving company is LG and today we’ll show you its latest product. The LX9500 is a LED-backlit 3D HDTV which just became official.
What can we expect from it in terms of specs and features? Well here’s a quick list you may find useful when deciding to buy your first 3D TV:
- LED-backlighting technology
- 22.3mm thickness
- 1080p resolution
- 400Hz refresh rate
- 10,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
- 47- and 55-inch versions
- 16mm super-narrow bezel
- Skype support
- DLNA connectivity
- USB 2.0 connectivity
- HDMI 1.4 connectivity
- Wireless AV link
- Invisible Speaker
- Picture Wizard II
- Clear Voice II
- Smart Energy Saving Plus
- ECO Flower
- Intelligent Sensor
Havis Kwon, Executive Vice President and head of the LCD division of LG had this to say about the LX9500:
”LG’s unique Full LED technology validates LG’s position as a global leader in 3D home entertainment. By building a full line-up of 3D TVs and cultivating alliances with content and device providers, LG will set a higher benchmark in the global 3D TV industry.”
The world’s first “full LED 3D TV” will retail for around $4,150 starting next week in Korea. That’s the 47-inch model but the 55-inch version should be available later in May in various markets around the globe.
The LX9500 will come bundled with special 3D glasses, the AG-S100, which are said to offer you up to 40 hours of 3D TV watching on a single charge although your brain might not want to watch as much 3D TV without any actual breaks. The glasses will work by “alternatively blocking one lens at a time in sync with the screen’s refresh rate” but we’ll have to test it all out ourselves before jumping to any conclusions.
And while the first 3D TV is here, we’re still waiting for more 3D content from TV networks out there. We can’t watch Avatar over and over, can we?
