LG Brings 3D Gaming to the Xbox360
LG and Microsoft have tied up to promote 3D gaming on the Xbox360. Don’t get your panties in a bunch though; this isn’t a new Xbox model we’re talking about here. It’s just that LG’s new line of LX9500 3D TVs facilitates 3D gaming on the Xbox360.
This brand new synergy is expected to kick off in South Korea initially but it will make its way through the Asia Pacific region eventually.

LG Aims at 25 Pct of Global 3D TV Market
LG Electronics, the world’s No.2 TV brand, said on Thursday it was aiming to sell nearly 1 million 3D TVs this year to take one-fourth of the market, joining a growing number of global tech firms betting 3D will become the next hot product.
Many manufacturers hope the technology will be as big a boost for the industry as the transition to colour TVs from black and white, although a lack of 3D content and the need for special glasses may keep people from adopting the technology outside the cinema. South Korea’s LG Electronics said on Thursday it wanted to increase market share in 3D TVs more aggressively, hoping to keep its lead over close rival Sony and fight falling prices with premium models. “Our goal is boosting market share in 3D TVs and you can clearly see that, as our target for 3D market share is 10 percentage points above our LCD TV sales target,” Havis Kwon, LG’s vice president and head of the LCD division told reporters.
LG, which competes with local rival Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and Japan’s Sony Corp, said it expected the global 3D TV market to grow to around 3.8 million units this year and to more than 13 million in 2011. The maker of the Infinia TV brand showcased 3D TVs with LED-backlit LCD screens that are 22.3 millimeters thick and said its 47-inch LX9500 model would cost around 4.7 million won ($4,134) including two pairs of glasses. The product will go on sale next week in South Korea ahead of a global launch around May. At 0535 GMT, shares in LG Electronics jumped 6 percent to a one-month high of 115,500 won, with trading volume rising to almost three times the average 30 day volume. “Shares have really been beaten down lately amid concerns about its smart phone performance, and on new worries that its strong television business may face a slowdown in the second half, after the World Cup,” said Kim Kap-ho, analyst at LIG Investment & Securities. “But as its sector peers have rallied in recent weeks, LG Electronics shares at the current level offer attractive valuations.” LG, which wants to increase its global market share in LCD TVs to 15 percent this year from 11 percent last year, said it sold around 5.2 million LCD sets in the first quarter versus a 2010 target of 25 million sets.

Skype to Offer Video Service on LG, Panasonic TVs
Privately held Skype has forged deals with consumer electronics makers LG Electronics and Panasonic in a bid to move its Internet video service beyond the desktop computer to the living room TV.
The service, which includes free video calls between Skype members, will compete with consumer video conference services being developed by bigger companies such as networking giant Cisco Systems Inc and Polycom Inc, which plans to develop consumer video services with International Business Machines Corp. Skype, a former eBay unit, said both LG and Panasonic will have high-definition TVs supporting its service around mid-year. Both television makers will embed the Skype technology in television models with Internet connections and will sell separate Web cameras that have built in microphones for television viewers who want to use Skype.
Skype said Panasonic will support Skype in its VT and G series televisions in the United States, with screen sizes up to 65 inches. LG will embed Skype in 26 new LCD and plasma screen TVs, which will also come in a range of sizes. Both LG and Panasonic are expected to demonstrate the service this week at the Consumer Electronics Show, the annual gadget showcase in Las Vegas. Skype also plans to announce support for high-definition video services on computers at the technology show, including partnerships with makers of high-definition Web camera suppliers faceVision and In Store Solution.
High-definition Skype services will work on computers with a 1.8 Gigahertz processor and a high-speed broadband connection of about 1 megabits per second upward, Skype said.
