3D Technology Checklist
This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use the checklist below to ensure you have everything you need. 3D viewing requires:
 | A Display
First, you'll need a 3D-ready display--whether it's a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays have more processing power than standard 2D models for displaying 3D images in rapid succession. |
 | A Source
Your display may be ready for 3D playback, but you'll still need a device to read 3D content. This can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3 system. |
 | 3D Content
3D content--the actual entertainment, in other words--will be played back using the source mentioned above, whether it's a 3D broadcast from your cable provider, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D video game. |
 | 3D Glasses
For now, the vast majority of 3D HDTVs require glasses for 3D viewing. Many use powered "active shutter" glasses, others polarized "passive" glasses. You'll need one pair per viewer, and they'll have to be compatible with your display, whether they're the same brand, or a pair of "universal" glasses designed to work across brands. |
 | HDMI Cable
To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a high-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation feature bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second), for carrying the 3D signal without any loss of quality. |
If you want to get more information about 3D, shop our 3D products, watch videos, or interact with other customers, we invite you to visit 3D 101, our customer center about everything 3D. |
Internet-Ready Television
Internet-ready TVs use your broadband connection to deliver dynamic content, whether it's streaming video from Netflix, new music from Pandora, or a quick glance at today's weather forecast.
Although there is overlap, each manufacturer offers a unique bundle of free or paid services, including streaming video and music, social networking apps, online photo galleries, news and financial updates, weather info, sports scores, and a variety of other smartphone-like applications.
Manufacturers continue to add new content to their offerings, keeping customers current through firmware updates, and making a bit of research a prudent step in your buying decision.
Learn more about Internet TVs, how they work, what services are offered by different manufacturers, and exactly what you'll need to get started at our Internet TV 101 customer center.

LG Active Shutter Glasses open and close at different times to allow certain images to each eye. These glasses require charging which can be done via a USB connection found at the back of the TV or using your laptop or other USB device and contain advanced technology to provide a full HD 3D viewing experience.
Get crisp, clear moving pictures with a 600Hz refresh rate. Make your TV watching experience worth it.
600Hz Max Sub Field Driving
Tired of streaky action or unclear plays during the game? The 600Hz refresh rate virtually eliminates motion blur giving you crisp, clear moving pictures. 600Hz technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images with 1,080 lines of resolution. This technology converts the motion in each scene into dots. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce after effects.
Full HD 1080p Resolution
Make your entertainment experience more real. Enjoy sharper pictures, more vibrant colors, and stunning clarity of Full HD 1080p resolution. This stunning picture is the reason you wanted HDTV in the first place. 1080p--known as Full HD--represents 1080 lines of resolution scanned progressively (all lines of resolution are displayed simultaneously). A 1080p display is a TV that has a resolution of 1,920 pixels horizontally by 1,080 pixels vertically. With almost double the pixel resolution, Full HD 1080p gives it superior picture quality over standard HDTV. You'll see details and colors like never before.
Watch everything in the right light and let your TV perform the adjustments for you automatically with the Intelligent Sensor.
