LG Electronics has launched a new Blu-ray 3D player that offers all the content options of LG Smart TV as well as seamless connectivity with other digital devices.

The BD670 features an easy-to-use onscreen interface that offers direct and simple access to a wide range of premium content, including top-tier global content providers, a statement said.

The 3D player’s Smart TV functions also offer the growing selection of LG Apps. Coming in five categories – life, entertainment, games, information and education – the apps are custom designed for use on TVs.

Users can also download a special app for their iPod touch, iPhone or Android-based mobile phone that turns the handset into a remote control for the BD670.

Through the app, viewers will be able to do everything from adjusting the volume to searching for content on a touch screen QWERTY keyboard.

In terms of connectivity, the BD670’s Wi-Fi Direct lets viewers stream multimedia content directly to other devices, without the need for a separate Internet connection, the statement said.

Additionally, the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) functionality enables easy access to movies and pictures stored on other DLNA-friendly devices, such as digital cameras or PCs.

“It’s no longer enough to offer great content, 3D or easy internet access – today’s viewers demand it all from a single source that’s easy and intuitive to use,” said H S Paik, president of LG Electronics Gulf.

“In this way, the BD670 is the future of home entertainment, delivering all the content you’ll ever need from a box so slender and elegant, you’ll barely notice it’s there.”

LG’s players also use 1080p up-scaling of standard DVDs for a near high-definition viewing experience – no matter what format is being played, the statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
