Excellence in Design and Innovation Recognized in 10 Categories;
77-inch OLED Ultra HD TV Earns ‘Best of Innovations’ Distinction.
The
Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) recognized LG Electronics’
excellence in design and technology with 15 prestigious 2014
International CES® Innovations Awards, including “Best of
Innovations” recognition in the Video Display category for the dramatic
new 77-inch class ULTRA HIGH DEFINITION CURVED OLED TV.
LG home
entertainment products, home appliances and mobile phones were honored
with CES Innovations awards in 10 highly-competitive categories: Video
Displays, Eco-Design & Sustainable Technologies, Digital Imaging,
Software & Mobile Apps, Home Audio/ Visual Components, Computer
Peripherals, Computer Hardware & Components, Eco Sustainability,
Home Appliances, and Wireless Handsets.
The 77-inch ULTRA
HD CURVED OLEDTV exemplifies LG’s commitment to leadership in the
premium TV category. LG’s marriage of the razor-thin OLED TV’s infinite
contrast ratio and Ultra HD technology that quadruples the resolution
makes this stunning giant screen the pinnacle of home entertainment
technology. The massive curved screen fills the viewer’s field of
vision more completely than a conventional flat-screen TV. When
introduced in the United States in 2014, it will followin the footsteps of the award-winning 55-inch class LG CURVED OLED TV that went on sale in the U.S. in July.
“Award-winning products and unique technologies are the proof-points for our brand promise to consumers that with LG, it’s all possible. We are honored that CEA has awarded LG with our sixth ‘Best of Innovations’ award to further cement our commitment to this promise,” said Wayne Park, president and CEO, LG Electronics USA. "Our 15 CES 2014 Innovations Awards also represent our dedication to providing consumers with innovative and intelligent features, intuitive functionality and sleek and stylish design.”
In the home
appliance category, LG captured awards for its new double-oven electric
range with EasyClean technology™ (LDE3037ST) and the LG Front Load Mega
Capacity TurboWash™ Washer with steam technology (WM8000HVA). The new
EasyClean range offers a host of performance features for today’s home
chef, as well as enhanced convenience with LG’s proprietary EasyClean
technology that cuts cleaning time from hours to minutes, without the
use of high heat or chemicals. The LG clothes washer features the
largest capacity in the industry at 5.2 cubic feet, so it can wash more
clothes – including larger, bulky items – in fewer loads, saving time
and money in energy usage. It also features LG’s innovative TurboWash™
technology which allows users to save up to 20 minutes per load, even
with larger loads of laundry, while still offering outstanding cleaning
performance.*
In the wireless
handset category, LG earned the CES Innovations distinction for the new
LG G2 smartphone. Featuring an innovative rear-key design for easy,
natural handling and a 5.2-inch Full HD near edge-to-edge display, the
LG G2 is a powerful smartphone that brings together the best of mobile
technology. LG G2 is built with the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 800 Processor for fast-paced multitasking and a suite of intuitive features like Answer Me and KnockON,
creating the ultimate mobile companion for work and play. With a
13-megapixel camera with Optical Image Stabilization, LG G2 also
captures crystal clear photos and videos, whether shooting in low-light
conditions or fast-moving events.
