It was announced that LG’s new Cinema 3D Smart T.V. lineup will be revealed at the coming International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and LG’s president Havis Kwon is confident “2013 models will shatter all expectations and demonstrate that LG has moved the medium of Smart TV forward.”  Ranging in size from the mammoth 84-inch T.V.s to 55-inch OLED T.V.’s, the new Smart T.V.s also boast a variety of new features such as a magic remote, increased GPU and CPU, and a new feature called Smart Sharing.

The Magic Remote was designed to make navigating the sometimes disorientingly vast selection of On-Demand videos, apps, and others features easier.  It has the traditional functions such as point, wheel, and gesture, but also comes with a new Voice Recognition software called Voice Mate, which responds well to the natural flow of voice.

Inside the T.V., the Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) and Central Processing (CPU) have been improved.  The CPU speed has been increased by 20% from the previous model, and the GPU speed is now three times as fast.  This equates to a picture quality and clearness that is perfect for 3D video and gaming.

With Smart Share, Smart Phones and other NFC enabled devices can easily share with the Smart T.V.  It is done either through WiFi or Miracast, or LG Cloud.
