LG has been quite the household name where consumer electronics products are concerned, and they certainly have done pretty well for themselves where the TV is concerned. Audio, however, remains a department that LG has yet to master on a big scale, as there are other big names out there in the industry which would come to people’s minds before LG makes the list. Today, however, we are not going to touch on just which particular speaker is better, as LG has made a couple of attempts to deliver quality without breaking the bank with a couple of speakers – the LG ND5630 Dual Docking Speaker as you can see above, and the LG NP3530 portable speaker.
First of all, the LG ND5630 Dual Docking Speaker will deliver style, design and functionality all into a single device. Not only does it play back all of your favorite tunes without missing a beat, it would also pave the way for you to juice up another device of yours while playing another, now how about that? The LG ND5630 Dual Docking Speaker will play nice with iPod, iPhone and Android-powered devices, making it an easier task than ever before to enjoy your tunes in clear and crisp audio. Not only that, throw in built-in WiFi connectivity, and it becomes a simple matter to stream music via Airplay or Bluetooth.
As for LG’s portable speaker, the LG NP3530 can be classified as your classic go-to speaker on-the-go. Thanks to its internal battery, LG claims it is capable of delivering up to 10 hours of non-stop playback, which means you would have more than enough time to enjoy your favorite tunes at your next barbeque, camping trip or just plain hanging out at your favorite haunt. Thanks to the speaker’s integrated Wi-Fi connectivity, you too, will be able to stream music Bluetooth or NFC in a jiffy. Between the two, which would you be interested in?

LG Optimus G Pro due in 40 more countries this quarter, probably not the UK
Posted in: Today's Chili
Having earned some respect here in the US and on its home turf, the LG Optimus G Pro is about ready to hit stores in Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Latin America. Reasons to be interested? The big, user-replaceable battery is certainly one, while the remarkably good 1080p 5.5-inch IPS LCD display is another — oh, and don’t forget dual-camera video recording either. Unfortunately, the Korean press release makes no specific mention of availability on UK carriers, and LG has been cautious about supporting the country’s “immature” LTE scene in the past, so we’re not sure if this handset will ever be available to Brits except on import. We’ve emailed a UK rep to ask if that stance has perhaps changed at all, and to chat about the (currently glorious) weather.
Update: There’s “no further update from a UK availability perspective”, which sounds like a “no.” However, it is indeed sunny.

When it comes to announcing new products at events, Samsung has typically used the term “Unpacked”, such as earlier this year where Samsung’s Unpacked Event was for the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. However while the term has […]

LG has announced an expansion to its ultra high-definition 4K line of TVs, this time with full-backlit LED 55-inch and 65-inch models. In addition, there has also been unveiled an 84-inch UHD model, which is the first to be made available to buyers in the United States. If you’re in the market for the 84-inch version, you’ll need to shell out a whopping $20,000 and head to LG’s Santa Monica retail store.
The 55-inch and 65-inch ultra high-definition TVs feature 4.1-channel 50-watt sound system that includes what LG calls a sliding speaker, which is mounted on a motorized sound bar that automatically surfaces beneath the panel. As for the display itself, LG used its Nano Full LED backlighting along with an IPS display.
The TVs feature a picture resolution of 3840 x 2160, as well as the Tru-Ultra HD engine that upscales content via a four-step process. In addition, the LA9700 utilized an H.265 HEVC (high-efficiency video coding) decoder, which will make the sets compatible with new 4K standards that may be implemented in the future for streaming and broadcast.
LG Electronics’ senior vice president Jay Vandenbree said: and head of LG’s U.S. home entertainment business. “When we brought the first Ultra HD TV to market last fall, consumer acceptance was surprisingly strong, considering that the 84-inch TV carried a $20,000 pricetag. Now, with a wider range of sizes at more attractive prices, even more consumers can enjoy the amazing picture clarity that Ultra HD TVs provide.”
In addition, the 55-inch and 65-inch models feature the Smart TV offering from LG, which provides features like Cinema 3D and Magic Remote for voice control. The smaller model has a suggested retail price of $5,999, says LG, while the 65-inch model has a suggested retail price of $7,999.

Thought Samsung had the US market for 65-inch Ultra HD televisions cornered? Think again. Hot on the heels of its competitor, LG has announced that its 55- and 65-inch UHD sets will sell for $5,999 and $7,999, respectively. They also pack a new feature — a powered 4.1 channel speaker bar that appears / disappears beneath the front lip of the TV. The prices aren’t chump change by any stretch of the imagination, but they’re certainly more affordable than LG’s last UHD TV: an 84-inch monster that sold for a staggering $19,999. Still, getting your hands on one isn’t easy — like its 84-inch set, LG’s latest screens are making their debut exclusively in southern California, and will eventually roll out to stores nationwide. Sure, driving out to Santa Monica to pick up a new TV might not be convenient, but at least it’s closer than South Korea — if you’re not in the US, the company expects to roll them out in the UK, Russia and Australia soon. Check out the company’s official announcement after the break.
