After which, the media was taken through a detailed presentation of the INFINIA LX9500 by Mr Arthur Huang, Chief Operating Officer of LG Electronics Singapore.

On the LX9500 55-inch model, there is a panel of 1200 LEDs directly behind the screen. Compared to traditional edge-lit LED panels, the LX9500 delivers exceptional brightness, clarity and uniformity. What’s more, the 1200 LEDs are split into 240 segments for detailed local dimming.

Also, the LX9500 series sports the latest TruMotion 400Hz technology, which serves to reduce image cross-talk.

Finally, the floor was opened to any questions from the media. Seated on stage for the Q&A session are Mr Arthur Huang and Mr Clive Chia, Sales Director for LG Electronics Singapore’s business units.

During the Q&A session, Mr Huang mentioned about the use of uncompressed wireless transmission for the best picture quality possible.

At the closing stages, Mr Chia talked about the award-winning BORDERLESS design; he believes it is something unique and what makes LG TVs stand out from competiting brands.
