What Happend in CES 2011,New Innovation from lg for its LED,LG jumped the traditional CES announcement gun when it touted Nano technology last month, and today at the show the company revealed more details about its so-equipped TVs. The Nano backlight will appear in two series, the flagship LW9500 models and the LW7700 series described here.
The main difference between the two is styling-related; the 9500 features "LG's thinnest design with ultraslim bezel" per the press release, whereas the 7700 is a bit chunkier. The 9500 also has a 480Hz refresh rate as opposed to 240Hz on the 7700 (we don't expect to see much difference between the two based on this spec).yes
"Nano," in case you missed it the first time around, refers to improved local-dimming LED technology. According to the release: "An extremely thin film printed with a proprietary light dispersion pattern combined with a full array of LEDs disperses light more evenly across the screen, creating pictures that are brighter and more uniform than conventional edge-lit LED sets."
We liked the company's local-dimming models from 2010, namely the LX9500 and LE8500 series, although we complained about the unusual uniformity issues we saw, which manifested as bands of uneven lighting that were visible in some material. LG tells us that the newer sets address this issue specifically, so we're expecting them to be among the better LCD performers of 2011.
