TAKE GAMING TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH LG'S 4K ULTRA HD TV's - THE ULTIMATE TV GAMING EXPERIENCE(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 21 October 2014 Release date- 17102014 - SYDNEY - Game on! LG Australia (LG) and Xbox join forces in the quest to provide the ultimate TV gaming experience. Spoiler alert! They nail it! Did you know 77% of Xbox owners (source: Microsoft Australia*) have their console in the lounge room? That means those gamers are more than likely playing on a TV. Anyone eager to get an incredible gaming experience in the living room will require gorgeous visuals and glorious detail; that's where LG has your back. The company's 4K ULTRA HD TVs deliver detailed visual capabilities, increasing not only the enjoyment factor but also your ability to perform and beat the competition. Last week LG announced a smorgasbord of stunning TVs - all amazing for gaming. However, the 4K ULTRA HD TV lineup has features that are tailor made for gamers and includes the spectacular UC970T (as above), the UB950T and UB980T - all of which are currently available in major electronics retailers across Australia. Details of pricing and different sizes for each model can be found below. Two new exciting LG 4K ULTRA HD TV models to be released in October are the 55-inch UB820T and 40-inch UB800T**. At a price point that is accessible for the everyday gamer, these beauties will be retailing for RRP $2,199 and RRP $1,149 respectively. What exactly do LG's Ultra HD TVs and AV products have to offer a gamer? >DUAL PLAY: One of best features of LG's gaming range is Dual Play. If you and a friend are playing split-screen multiplayer, Dual Play glasses*** let you and your opponent filter out each other's screen, giving you the whole 55 or 65-inches to yourself - and more importantly, it stops them from finding where you are during an intense gaming contest. Note: Dual Play not available on UB800T and UB820T models >OVER 8 MILLION PIXELS OF GAMING DETAIL: A big TV isn't enough anymore - you need a resolution to match. With LG's 4K Ultra HD TV models, you'll play games on a screen with 8.3 million pixels, so you'll get amazing resolution. It's a breathtaking gaming experience with incredibly crisp vision, even when viewed from close distances. >IPS PANEL AND 100HZ SCREEN REFRESH RATES: LG's IPS Panel is the reason why its 55' and 65' TVs have amazingly clear, consistent and sturdy screens. LG's 4K Ultra HD TV models also incorporate TruMotion technology, which includes a screen refresh rate of 100Hz, and delivers outstanding image quality across sport, movies, TV shows and gaming. The wide viewing angle also means that even a large gaming group will be able to enjoy the TV's bright and vivid colours. >SIZED FOR THE LIVING ROOM: Whatever the size of your living room, LG's 4K Ultra HD TV range has a screen size to suit. With sizes ranging from a 40' model right up to a massive 84' model, LG has you covered. In particular, the 84' model lends itself to big screen gaming, which means you can immerse yourself in the action, or go head to head with friends and family and give everyone a clear view. >GAMING MODE: For a more realistic gaming experience, there's a specialist function setting called Game Mode that helps to reduce gaming lag time. >3D GAMING: With a growing number of games available in 3D, plus LG Cinema's 2D-to-3D conversion and lightweight, inexpensive, battery-free glasses, our 4K Ultra HD TV's*** (models: 49UB850T, 55UB850T, 55UB950T, 65UB950T, 65UB980T, 79UB980T, 84UB980T, 55UC970T and 65UC970T) include 3D to elevate your play to an new dimension. Note: 3D not available on UB800T and UB820T models >ENHANCED SOUND: The hero 65' Curved Ultra HD TV (UC970T), for example, truly holds its own with a 6 speaker, 40W sound system that really packs quite the punch - but if you are looking to give your gaming TV an extra audio kick, LG's Soundbar and Home Theatre Systems offer standout audio options. Don't just play the game, feel it rumble through your whole body! LG's TVs and audio video devices are also extremely versatile. Almost all of them offer Private Sound mode, which allows you to stream TV audio to your phone and hear your game via headphones without disturbing anyone else in the house. So those late-night battle sequences, engine roars or alien-zombie screeches won't wake your flatmates, parents or the sleeping bubster! >ULTRA HD UPSCALING Did you know that 71% of Xbox owners in Australia use their console for non-gaming activities? These other activities include watching catch up TV. With the 2014 Ultra HD Upscaling Engine, all content (including catch up TV and streamed content) is skillfully rendered from standard definition and HD content closer to ULTRA HD clarity for clearer, more striking images****. >GAMING FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY What does having a large screen LG 4K Ultra HD TV available in the living room mean for today's families? 64% of Australia households with an Xbox have children under the age of 18 living in the home - meaning that it's a great way to bring the family together in a central location (e.g.: the living room) and experience big screen gaming together, whether it's a development/learning game for the youngsters or a high intensity action game for the older kids. LG recommends the following models for gaming: 49UB850T, 55UB850T, 55UB950T, 65UB950T, 65UB980T, 79UB980T, 84UB980T, 55UC970T and 65UC970T.
