LG, Sharp and Philips to build developer's kit, create Smart TV app standard

Posted on Sep 09, 2011 by MG3

Filed in: TVsLGPhilipsSHARP

A triumvirate of television titans -- LG, Sharp and Philips -- are joining forces to create a development kit, defining a common standard for their Smart TV apps.

LG to bring 55-inch OLED TV to market in 2012

Posted on Jul 25, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: TVsLG

There have been a few OLED TVs on the market so far. Sony had its OLED a few years back, but the set was so expensive that it never took off thanks to that price. Eventually the cost of the OLED panels will come down and we will see the TVs on the market at prices consumers might be willing to pay. The sets promise better image quality, thinner profiles, and less power consumption.
LG has announced that it will be tossing a 55-inch OLED TV onto the market in mid-2012. LG’s CEO noted that the company would not focus on small and medium size OLED screens for the tablet and smartphone. CEO Kwon Young-Soo thinks that the AH-IPS panels currently in use are best suited to those smaller screens. Th...
